AGILITY SUCCESS with “IMPOSSIBLE” DOGS

by JANE KILLION

WHEN PIGS FLY:

Do you have a dog or a breed of dog that is not predisposed to work with you?

Have you been to obedience or agility class and been humiliated by how inattentive and wild your dog was? Do you really want to do agility with your dog that you already own and love, but feel like you are getting nowhere and no one knows how to help you? Has it been suggested to you that you should just switch breeds or trade in your dog for a more compliant model? Don’t hand over the leash, just yet. { {

there is hope.


If you were nodding your head when you read the above paragraph, then you and I are kindred spirits. I have two passions in life – Bull Terriers and agility. Unfortu-nately, about the only thing that you can count on from an untrained Bull Terrier is that, the instant you take off the leash, he will run away from you, as far as he can, as fast as he can. This does make it challeng-ing to train them in agility, and no one would have blamed me if I had given up when I discovered this un-encouraging trait. I did not give up, however, because I loved my dogs and saw something in them that told me they were just as smart and capable as their more obedient classmates, if only I could figure out how to get through to them. I stuck with it, soaked up everything I could about dog behavior and dog training, and eventually earned the unimaginable pleasure of putting agility titles on my own little varmints.

I am going to present a series of training articles that show you how to teach your “impossible” dog to do agility. Much of the agility advice you will receive from top instructors will deal with shaving seconds off your dog’s time, or teaching you the best handling system to maximize your dog’s performance. Friends, that stuff just isn’t so helpful when your you’re watching

your dog jump out of the ring and run off so fast that there is a little cloud of dust behind him. What does it matter which cross you put where, if your dog’s nose is glued to the ground at the startline? What do you care about techniques to teach your dog three-second weave poles, when your dog won’t even go in the same quadrant of the ring as the weave poles? Make no mistake, the handling techniques those top train-ers outline generally are brilliant, but you and your dog need to do some background work before those han-dling techniques have any relevance to you. The purpose of my articles will be to help you learn how to train the things you need but won’t get from most training resources.

For this first article, I have adapted a piece from my book, “When Pigs Fly: Training Success With Impossible Dogs.” We will examine what makes a dog challenging to train and present the case in favor of the “impossible” dog. I want to encourage you to look at the positive points of your dog’s personality and understand that, given the right approach, your dog might not be so impossible as you think he is!

YOU CAN DO AGILITY WITH YOUR DOG!The Impossible Dream Consider the following descriptions of

three successful performance dogs. Do any of them resemble your dog?

Dog Number OneDog number one is “The Bolter.” She attends basic obedience class. With one leash correction, she slows down. If the correction is repeated, she stops. If a third try is hazarded, she sits down like a mule and patently refuses to move. When off leash, however, this dog has no trouble moving very rapidly. Un-fortunately, she is gener-ally moving very rapidly in the wrong direction. She does not give a rat’s behind about what her handler wants her to do. It takes a great deal of

sweaty, frustrating, effort just to capture her after she runs off. Sometimes she actu-ally has to be tackled.

Dog Number TwoDog number two is “The Maniac.” He is so highly excitable that his heart literally beats out of control when he is in public. He has to be on beta-blocker medication to (in the words of his vet) “keep him from keeling over.” Even a walk down the street is out of the question. Any time he meets a strange person or dog his heart races, his tongue turns black, and he collapses on the ground. Sometimes his excitement is so great that he vomits and loses control of his bowels. One time he became so over stimulated by a visit from a neighbor that veterinary intervention was required to save his life.

Dog Number ThreeDog number three is “The Dud.” She carefully and precisely follows her handler around – at a walk. Toys, food, praise, and handler gyrations bring absolutely no change in her pace. She has two speeds – dead slow or stopped.

After reading these descriptions, you may find yourself re-reading my first sentence. “Did she say successful performance dogs?” Yes, I did. These are my Bull Ter-

The Bolter

riers, and they all have gone on to great performance careers.

“The Bolter” is Cherry. Shortly after I figured out how to train her, she achieved nine agility titles, with twenty-four first place finishes. Not bad for a dog that pre-viously spent most of her time figuring out how to run away from me.

“The Maniac” is Nicky, who earned his first leg toward an American Kennel Club obedience title at the Bull Terrier Club of America’s National Specialty, going High in Trial. Shortly after that, he completed his AKC Novice Agility Preferred title. That’s a long way from a dog who could not even go out on a leash walk in the neighborhood for fear of dropping dead from the excitement.

“The Dud” is Ruby who, at eighteen months, completed three agility titles. She ran respectably quickly and was as much as 10 seconds under time. Oh, by the way, she was also Winners Bitch at The Bull Terrier Club of America National Spe-cialty that month. In order to beat out the other dogs she had to show like a house on fire for about two hours, and she did. I’d say these are remarkable accomplish-ments for a dog that would almost never

break out of a walk.

Your dog, no matter what his breed or type, loves to learn and can be taught to do agility. I have never met a dog that did not like training and learning new things. Pick the dog you love first, and I will show you how to have lots of fun run-ning agility with him.

Are you thinking, “Yeah, but my dog is too hard to train”? I sympathize with people who insist that their dog is too dif-ficult, too stubborn, too slow, or too hyper to train, but I can’t agree with them. As you can see from the stories of my own dogs, I have faced and dealt with all of those issues The only problem that I see is that

most people need a better understanding of how dogs learn and how to teach them.

So, what’s the point?Your dog, no matter what his breed or type, loves to learn and can be taught to do agil-ity. I have never met a dog that did not like training and learning new things. Pick the dog you love first, and I will show you how to have lots of fun running agility with him.

WHY DOES MY DOG SEEM HARD TO TRAIN?The Nature of the Pigs Fly Kinda DogLet’s talk about the term “difficult to train.” When we say a dog is difficult to train, part of what we really mean is that the dog is not biddable. Biddable means willing to do your bidding, just because you ask. Bid-dability is something that has been selec-tively bred into certain breeds that need to work closely with humans. Herding breeds need to respond to the shepherd’s com-mands. Gun dogs need to work as a team with the hunter. Terriers need to think on

Before you throw up your hands and say, “Well, there it is. My dog is genetically pro-grammed to ignore me,” consider this: If you were comfortably at home watching TV, and your spouse said, “Go upstairs and pack your suitcase” you would probably say “Why?” If he or she answered, “Be-cause I say so,” you might or might not actually pack your bag, and you would prob-ably be a little resentful about being ordered around that way. Most people would want the courtesy of an explanation. Even if you did pack your bag, you would do so reluctantly. If, instead of, “Because I say so,” he or she said, “We just won the lottery and to celebrate we are going to the French Rivera!” you’d run upstairs right away and pack, wouldn’t you? Well, non-biddable dogs think the same way that you do. Bid-dable dogs would not ask “why?” if they were told to go upstairs and pack their bags, but non-biddable dogs would need more information before they made their choic-es about whether or not to comply with your request. Biddability, then, can be de-fined as removing the “Why?” from the dog’s psyche. The biddable dog never asks why, he just does what you are asking.

So, is it such a big deal if we just have to answer the question “Why?” Why should he sit/stay/walk on loose leash etc? Be-cause you are his master and he is within

The Dud

Here is Ruby, who would almost nev-er break out of a walk when she was a young dog, tearing through the weave poles. With the right training, Ruby went from “Dud” to “Dynamic!”© Kenneth Reed Photography

BIDDABLE: willing to carry out the wishes of others: amenable, compliant, conformable, docile, obedient, submissive, supple, tractable (Roget’s II: The New Thesaurus, Third Edition 1995). These are qualities that have been highly prized by breeders of working dogs throughout the centuries. Careful breeding over thousands of years has cultivat-ed dogs that have an inclination to both work with and take direc-tion from man. If you are reading this book, you probably do not have one of those dogs. If you laughed when you read the definition of biddable you defi-nitely do not have one of those dogs. their own to outsmart and kill vermin…hmm. Sounds like we bred independent thinking instead of biddability into that group.

PIG-TIONARY


your dominion and that was the way it went on Lassie? Dream on. Because you are capable of giving him the doggie equivalent of a trip to the French Rivera if he does what you want? Now, your talkin’.

Although lack of biddability is part of what makes your dog different from “easy” breeds, there is more to it than that. Your dog is the dog who asks the questions. He acts like he is deaf when you call him, but he could figure out how to escape from a high security penitentiary if there was something he wanted on the outside. He’s probably inquisitive and on fire to explore the world - always scheming, but never scheming to figure out what you want. While he appears to have no interest in doing anything you want him to do, he is almost obsessive about performing tasks of his own choosing, like chasing squirrels, sniffing, or tearing apart upholstered fur-niture. Although he is affectionate, his agenda does not include doing anything to please you. Far from seeking your approv-al, at times he seems like he revels in the chaos that his disruptive behavior creates – sometimes you have a sneaking suspicion that he thinks it’s funny when you get angry.

How do you describe a dog like that in one word or phrase? Independent? Stubborn? Hard to Train? Challenging? Obsessive? Stupid? Intelligent? These are all value-laden terms that pass judgment on the dog, his attributes, and what he should or should not be able to do. They invite us to draw negative conclusions about the dog because of lack of understanding of dogs and how they think. I don’t believe that using those kinds of words or phrases to describe your dog will further your goal of becoming a happy team with your canine companion. I frequently use the term “Pigs Fly dog” as shorthand for a dog with all of the fabulous (yes, fabulous) qualities I described above. I like “Pigs Fly” because, although these dogs sometimes seem impossible to deal with, in fact they are trainable, even brilliantly trainable. I also use the term non-biddable because, although it is a more limited term, it is an accurate description of the nature of these dogs and cuts to the core of why people have trouble training them. Sometimes I will even use the terms “difficult to train,” “hard to train,” and the like, but they should be taken with a grain of salt. The number one rule for success is to pick out your dog’s strengths and work them to your advantage. I think that it is important you think of your dog in terms of all of his wonderful attributes, and not get caught up in any pre-judgement about what he can or can’t do. Taking away neg-

ative labels and the stigma that goes with them is the first step in opening your mind to the potential in your dog.

Any kind of dog may fall under the Pigs Fly umbrella – purebreds and mixed breeds alike. When I talk about “Border Collies” or “Terriers” or any other breed or group of dog, it is just shorthand for a dog that shares those characteristics, mixed or pure-bred, with or without papers. Most of the Terrier and Hound groups can be classified as Pigs Fly dogs, but there are plenty of other breeds/mixes that can be Pigs Fly dogs, too. Generally, any dog whose origi-nal purpose was to perform a task inde-pendently, without taking direction from, or being in cooperation with, a human teammate is going to be a Pigs Fly kinda dog. If you are in doubt as to your dog’s heritage, but you can’t seem to get him to go along with your plans, he is in the Pigs Fly club.

I spend a lot of time mentoring new Bull Terrier owners. Time and time again, I hear stories about the frustration and discour-agement they experience when they go to training classes with their dog. Seems like a lot of instructors don’t want to be both-ered with dogs that are not “easy” to train. Some instructors flat out recommend get-ting another breed. To me, this is just ter-rible. My dogs had three very different types of problems, but we worked through them, and the joy that I get every time we train or compete is beyond measure. The real reward for me was achieving things and having fun with the dogs that I already loved. I want to make that reward available to anyone who desires it. Far from wanting an “easy” dog, I love my busy terriers whose brains are turning so fast that you can hear the whirling and clicking. I make no apologies for owning a fabulous little dog that is always on the go and obsessed with living life to the hilt, and you should not be making any apologies, either. There is a gold mine of possibilities wait-ing inside of your Pigs Fly kinda dog and I am going to show you how to find it.

RELATIVE “INTELLIGENCE” OF BREEDS:The Learning Curve is not StraightforwardOne of the most fascinating books you can ever read is the American Kennel Club’s The Complete Dog Book (New York: Ballantine

Books, 2006). It contains brief descriptions and histories for the breeds of dog recog-nized by the AKC and one has to be amazed at how we have bred so many breeds of dogs for so many specialized tasks. There are dogs that herd livestock by driving them from behind, and there are dogs that tend livestock by heading them off. There are dogs that will go and fetch a bird without putting a single mark on it, and there are dogs that will destroy any small animal they can find. There are dogs that will diligently and quietly point out where birds are hiding, and there are dogs that will do a crazy dance to draw curious birds within gun range. There are dogs that will guard and let no one near their family (be that family human, dog, or sheep) and dogs that willingly accept han-dling from anyone.

Sit down, because this is going to come as a shock to you. No breed of dog is inher-ently better at learning than any other breed or mix of breeds. That’s right – despite all the flashy behavior that certain breeds of-fer, despite the fact that some breeds of dogs are literally waiting around for you to tell them what to do, they are no quicker to learn than any other dog. That is not just my opinion – Scott and Fuller, in their seminal work “Genetics and the Social Behavior of the Dog” did extensive ex-periments with Basenjis, Shetland Sheep-dogs, Beagles, Cocker Spaniels, and Wire-Haired Fox Terriers, and all manner of crosses of those breeds. The tests con-sisted of various complicated combinations of obstacles and mazes that the dogs had


to negotiate in order to get to a food reward. Scott and Fuller found that, when it came to problem solving and learning, no breed or cross of breed is quicker to learn than any other is. In their words,

“… (A)ll breeds show about the same average level of performance in problem solving, provided they can be adequately motivated, provided physical differences and handicaps do not affect the tests, and provided interfering emotional reactions such as fear can be eliminated. In short, all the breeds appear quite similar in pure intel-ligence.”

Wait, it gets better. I am going to go out on a limb and guess that people consider a Basenji to be one of the hardest to train dogs, and a Sheltie to be one of the easiest. If you attend obedience or agility trials, you will see lots and lots of Shelties, and pow-erful few Basenjis. Some people will at-tribute this to superior intelligence and learning ability on the part of the Sheltie. Here is what Scott and Fuller found:

“In general, the four hunting breeds (bea-gles, basenjis, terriers, and cockers) per-formed best on the tests. This is probably because most of the tests were deliber-ately designed to test independent capaci-ties motivated by food rewards…By con-trast, the Shetland sheep dogs, whose ancestors have been selected for their abil-ity to perform complex tasks under close direction from their human masters, per-formed rather badly. Indeed, in many of the tests, the shelties gave the subjective impression of waiting around for someone to tell them what to do.” Genetics and the Social Behavior of the Dog, John Paul Scott and John L. Fuller

The Basenji learned faster than the Sheltie. The Sheltie was waiting to be told what to do, and the Basenji was out there figuring it out on his own. So, if the Basenji is just as capable, if not more capable, than the Sheltie of learning, why is it so devilishly hard to get a Basenji to actually do what we want them to do? The answer is that traditional training models were designed with the biddable dog (like the Sheltie) in

mind. Those methods rely heavily on “showing” or “telling” the dog what to do. If you have a dog that is pre-programmed through hundreds or thousands of years of breeding to be receptive to being told what to do, those methods might get you somewhere. If you have a dog that has only ever been bred to think for himself, you will find yourself beating your head against a wall. The problem is not the dog, but the method used to teach him. Instead of com-pelling or showing the dog what you want him to do, you need to learn a system of training that will tap into your dog’s ability to excel at independently motivated prob-lem solving, just like the dogs in Fuller and Scott’s study.

Please note that the fact that the Sheltie was reluctant to problem solve does not mean that the Sheltie was more or less intelligent than the other dogs. It only means that the Sheltie had a natural prefer-ence to be told what to do in that context. I think we must be careful not to ascribe labels like “intelligent” or “unintelligent” to dogs, because the assessment of a dog’s intelligence is going to depend on your preconceived notions of what a dog “should” be. Stick to thinking about what you want your dog to do and the best way to get him to do it. Diagnosing a dog as “intelligent” or “unintelligent” will not further your training program in any way and will only add unnecessary baggage to the process.

OK, now let’s look at your dogs learning strengths and challenges. Your dog may or may not have all of these qualities, but he probably has most of them:

STRENGTHS> He is lively and very interested in his

surroundings.

> He is a good independent worker and problem solver.

> Once he decides he wants something, he is obsessed about getting it and capable of overcoming amazing obstacles to reach his goal.

CHALLENGES> He does not care much if you approve

or disapprove of what he is doing – he has no natural desire to please you.

> He has no natural inclination to pay attention to you

> He is so obsessed with doing his own thing that it is hard or impossible to get him to refocus on the thing you would like him to do.

What you will see is that your dog’s strengths and obstacles are flip sides of the same coin:

> He is lively and interested in his sur-roundings, which means that his whole world does not hinge upon you and whether you approve of him or not.

> He is good at solving problems on his own, therefore he is doesn’t need to pay attention to you much.

> He is capable of great passion and obses-sion with reaching a goal, which is a fabulous thing, so long as your goals and his goals are the same.

Keep these two-sided traits in mind as you train your dog. These are the qualities that made you fall in love with him in the first place, and we are going to respect and cel-ebrate these qualities every step of the way. An exasperating trait always has a flip side – it is the job of a good trainer to find that flip side and use it to his advantage.

You will learn how to take your dog’s natural independence and make it work for you. Rest assured that your dog does have the potential

to become your agility partner – When Pigs Fly!

The problem is not the dog, but the method used to teach him.
