03 Dec 2012
I came up with this interesting course with a couple challenging sections for class this past week. There are Threadles Threadle SequenceMary Ellen Barry on Threadle HandlingThe Connection Between Threadles and Back SidesTraditional Threadle HandlingSingle Sided Threadle Handling, Back Sides Back Side/Back Side JumpHandling the Quad Back Side - Patrick Bucher Course/VideoThe Connection Between Threadles and Back SidesBack Side of Jump Handling Combinations - Video, Pin Wheels, 270 270 Degree Jump SequenceBack Side Entry to 270/Training Opportunity - VideoHandling 270 Degree Jump Sequencess, etc.
Here are a few handling notes/challenges
- Dog on left all the way to the weaves.
- It was hard for some handlers to get to the landing of 7 for a Front Cross Front CrossLearning the Front Cross quickly enough without getting in their dog's way...
- Can your Rear Cross Rear CrossLearning the Rear Cross the take off side of 8 and still get the 270 270 Degree Jump SequenceBack Side Entry to 270/Training Opportunity - VideoHandling 270 Degree Jump Sequences to 9?
- Front Cross over jump 11 (landing side) so you can be in position to support 13.
- Turn the dog to their left over 13.
- Jump wrap 15 to the dog's right.
- Show forward motion toward the "top" of the course to support 17 - the dog will be curling to their left - toward the handler.
- It was easiest to handle 18-19-20 on the landing side of 17. if you can get there... If not, cue jump wrap over 19 and Front/Rear Cross on approach to 20.
- Then dog on right 20-22.
This was a fun one!!
