I saw your feedback after I ran these, so there will probably be a lot of the same. Sorry about that! Hula hasn’t worked threadles and tunnel sends are on her to-do list, so she did not participate in this exercise. I struggled with the threadle option. I’m not sure if it was the obstacle spacing or my position or a combination, but it took a few times to get it right with both dogs. Threadles aren’t super strong with either dog, so that is also on our winter training to-do list 🙂
Nice work! I would not have known threadles were an issue had you not mentioned it. They look good here!

Thanks for your observations on everything but especially my verbals. I tend to be overly enthusiastic with those without even knowing it! I think this is a better loopy. https://youtu.be/SadPFhoUZsg
This video is private, could you please change it to unlisted?
Nina working on your great suggestions. Still not where I want it to be…

Much better consistency with the verbals. I still think they could be sooner and I’d love you to work towards eliminating the name before your “loopy” verbal.

Here is Nina with Option 1. Keeping commitment is not easy for her (like my more seasoned dog Spark) I had to do the FC a few times with the to on the ground in that FC. She started out going to the jump and then I pulled her off. Not so with the BC. She is more likely to commit and stay committed when I do BC’s rather than FC’s like in this sequence.

Here is the threadle with a threadle cue.

It is not unusual to have better commitment with a BC than a FC. The BC has less turning cues which means it has more forward cues. Those cues help to support the jump.

Thank you again for the great feedback. I have two backside cues when she turns away from me and she is between me and the jump. ‘loopy’ is a backside with a wrap and in-in is a backside with a slice. I didn’t realize in the threadle video that from 6 to 7 (when I used ‘right’ instead of ‘left’ ) that besides that being incorrect in the directional (ugh), I should have maybe used ‘loopy’? My question to you before I try it again, is this a loopy verbal? That is, go to the backside, turn away from me and wrap.
Yes, you are correct. That would be a “loopy” verbal. I only have one threadle verbal (“in, in”) which is what I used there. If Nina were on your other side, it would be a backside verbal.
Yes, in my case ‘push’
I know you’ve been busy at UKI US Open but just in case, thought I would repost….Congrats on all your success there!
Here’s our Nested challenge sequence. Thanks!

I think there is some room to keep improving your trust in your verbals so that you don’t get yourself stuck behind a jump or prevent yourself from getting as far downstream as possible. This would probably be more important on courses with bigger spacing vs what we’d see at the AKC Invitational.

Your comments made total sense and I thank you! I worked the 2 options for a few days afterwards working on not stepping forward/back, trusting my verbal, and moving forward to stay ahead. I did add a blind cross in after 8 as motivation to get going! Thanks ahead again for your comments. Great exercises!

I’ve very glad you were able to do a redo. Not only to improve the handing and tightness of the turn (which you did) but also ask the question, which is really “better”?

Side by side: https://youtu.be/3vvmsanKhO0
Great stuff, and thanks for the side by side as well! I haven’t thought about tight turns vs a wider turn in relation to the cost of time in this particular scenario. Definitely something to keep in mind while working on independence and more importantly for me….TRUST! And btw..I want to run clean and FAST! Pretty is frosting on the cake!
It is a lesson I learned the hard way when my dog would would add the stride (making it looks so nice) was getting beat by my dog who was not adding the stride and going wider. When I attempted to figure out why, it meant a lot of side by side filming. That is when I realized that the speed lost on the added stride would, in many cases, cost use the speed.
It is a bell curve. On one is as dog so wide/fast they are adding too much yardage. On the other end is a dog so tight that the decrease in speed leads to lost time. We are looking for that optimal perfect point in-between 😉
So good to know going forward in my handling choices!
