How to Rear Cross on Angled Approaches |
What do you suggest if your dog is ahead and faster than you for the tight turn. I am elderly and have a pup with very long legs and takes 2 strides to cover 21 feet. I mainly do distance with him as AKC style requires a ton of me running which I can not do anymore.
I think it’s still good to work on accel/decel cues for those times you CAN get to a spot. But yes, you wont often be in a position where your decel occurs at the jump. You’ll have to use more verbal cues along with decel from a distance.
So try these, but know you’ll also need other things:

Do you use just one cue for the obstacle? Eg “tunnel” means go to tunnel and then your body location/motion to cue the turn/vs straight? Asking because I have a coach who has specific verbals for a tight turn out of the tunnel, I think maybe even for a loose turn another verbal, and one for straight. I find too many verbals can throw me off so I may just stick with the tunnel verbal and the motion/location physical cue.
You certainly can have more cues if you prefer, but I’m more like you using motion/location cues.

Adding the jump. She is gaining understanding of when decel before the tunnel. I notice I am messing up my verbal – it is supposed to be “Chase” for a throw toy, and “Get it” when I drop the toy on her line. Sorry for the glare – I was trying to get it done before sun and heat. https://youtu.be/EuEyX1eWgo4
