Patron’s Choice: Vaulting Principles | Disc Dog Vaulting Concepts

There is a lot more to a vault than the definition. There is a reason you can’t just watch a YouTube video and get an understanding of the vaulting process. Just because you can do something doesn’t mean you know how to do it, or how it is done; performance is not understanding. This is very evident when it comes to vaulting.

Sneak Peak Access for Patrons Only… Public Access Dec 9 | MOVE!!! You are NOT a Spectator

Once you are done with your job, MOVE. Disc comes out of the hand for the flip, you should be moving. If the handler moves as soon as the job of throwing is over, the dog is late to the party and has to respond to the pressure of the handler and the handler’s movements.

Great learning video! Odie reliably turns clock, so I need to start working on intercepting him in-between our tricks so my routine has more flow! I feel we are too slow and I spend too much time setting up with a through and positioning him right in front of me instead of going directly into the next trick. I need to Do This!! Especially on the Rut N Flip and Thru N Flip that we have in the routine. Glad this video came up, very helpful!

  Yup.
  The Front Cross is the middle of the BSP Pose in Front position. Get things smooth enough with waits then start working from that Front Cross. It will serve the same timing function. Let it go, grasshopper… 😉
