Small Spaces: Run Both Sides

24 Feb 2012Steve Schwarz

I’ve created an exercise from my class course at For Your K9 for working on a bunch of skills: 270s 270 Degree Jump Sequence Back Side Entry to 270/Training Opportunity - Video Handling 270 Degree Jump Sequences, Threadles Threadle Sequence Mary Ellen Barry on Threadle Handling The Connection Between Threadles and Back Sides Traditional Threadle Handling Single Sided Threadle Handling, and Jump Wraps Jump Wrap/Wrap Handling 360 Jump Wraps aka "Over and Over" - Video Jump Wrap Handling Tips Jump Wrap Handling - With Video. Of course, you have to cue in a timely fashion or you’ll send your dog to one of the off course obstacles. The course setup is kind of tight, in case you only have a little space, if you have more space spread the jumps out for a different set of challenges.

Here are some challenges for you when working on this course:

Handle 1, 2, 3 without a Lead Out; you can't pass jump 2.
Handle 1 and 2 with the dog on your left and again on your right.
Turn from 6 to 7 with a Front Cross Front Cross Learning the Front Cross and again with a Rear Cross Rear Cross Learning the Rear Cross, one of my speedy handlers got a clean Blind Cross...
Handle 8-10 with the dog on your left and again on your right.
Great opportunity for a Single Sided Threadle while rotating forward to go from 14 to 15.

Hope you try it and have fun!
