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 Handling 270 Degree Jump Sequences Back Side Entry to 270/Training Opportunity - Video, Threadles Threadle Sequence Mary Ellen Barry on Threadle Handling Single Sided Threadle Handling Traditional Threadle Handling The Connection Between Threadles and Back Sides, and Jump Wraps Jump Wrap/Wrap 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!
