Hi Sarah!
This is our try at Set 1 of the AKC National Prep Course.
We moved and I don’t have a place to practice at home, but it is coming! We are waiting for grass to grow. I am so excitd about this course & am going to try and get as many of the exercises in before Nationals as I can. I’m feling a little behind & underprepared not having a place to practice at home. Luckily our kennel club has a field we can use but there are no wing jumps, so we did this exercise with wingless jumps.
This was a great challenge. I felt like I had a lot of trouble getting into a good position for the front crosses. We dropped a bar in the front cross set and the blind cross set. We didn’t get a chance to do the challenge because it got too hot s I had to end the session. I’m ging to try & set it up again, if I get a chance because I really wanted to try that backside/blind/German turn!
Thanks for your freedback!

Hi Sarah – thanks for the feedback, especially on the front crosses. I’m going to work on my timing! I remember you had posted a really helpful post where you discussed the 4 step front cross footwork and how to practice without your dog to get good form. I can’t remember if it was a Facebook Live post or not, but I can’t find it again when I search the VIP archives. Would have have a link to it? I’d love to rewatch it. Thanks again!
Yes! I love that video. So concise!
It was a five min bonus video for our mailing list. Here’s a link directly to it: https://baddogagility.com/master-the-front-cross-video/
This one is awesome! Thank you! The one I was thinking of had Esteban practicing his 4 step FC at his desk in socks – LOL! I remember it encouraged me to practice in the house to improve my footwork.
Lol! I don’t recall that one. But it sounds like it was a feedback video. We tend to be a tad more professional on the training videos! 😂

I set up the sequence then it rained for 2 days. I finally got out there and it started to drizzle by the time I did the challenge. I had forgotten how you ran it but I did 2 options.

Side by Side at end.
Thank you for the side by side.
It is because of all your help that I am able to consider and execute different handling options. 😁
Yay! 🙂
With the edition of the dog walk, it created a siren song for those with high reinforcement, so I had to work for a tighter turn to come with me off of 6 (may have edited some of that out). Really fun challenge!

We gave this second lesson a try, but our hour was almost up, so we only ran it once. https://youtu.be/CcgBD0KGMxs

Hi Sarah,
I actually did the entire sequence and started Shiver both on left and right with a wrap around the cone to simulate coming from either direction on course. I am jumping him at 24″ for the challenge sequence as we are running ISC at NAC. https://youtu.be/nJXIYsk198Y

I started him from a wrap for fun at the end but in retrospect it might have created a better argument for going the other way on the backside just because of where I put the cone but his reps from a startline were all totally fine so I just wanted to try it more in flow for the last few. Just adding that because in hindsight if the course map came from the direction we were coming from I’d probably choose the other wing- but at least I know we can also get the inside wing if we want it 🤷♀️

Here’s our exercise with options plus the challenge!! Thank you!!

Thank you!! So do you think for the challenge course backside at 2, I could leave earlier?
I think it’s less about leaving earlier and more about not putting yourself behind by giving all that space on the landing side. I would like to see you kindof “skim” along the side of the jump so that your same timing puts you further ahead rather than almost pulling your dog back toward you on the backside and then jetting forward. Does that make sense?
Actually makes perfect sense!! Thank you!!!

First attempt – I did a push/serp blind in opening. Definitely need threadle at 6 which I executed and was pleased on Pizzazz’s response. After I tried #2 as leadout take off of #2 to throw back blind but it is harder for me to get out of dodge that way IMHO

Thanks so much for the atta’ girl! Greatly appreciated! I am chuckling because this early takeoff issue is something that I have been working on for 5 years with this dog – LOL – she is MUCH better – used to land smack dab on the bar – so we are making progress. I have the great fortune of being able to work directly with Susan Salo on a consistent basis. We will keep on trying to improve on that.
Love the exercises you are providing. Looking forward to future ones!
Lol! Then you are in great hands!!
I ran this twice, going both directions for the backside send. I actually preferred sending to the right side.

Thanks! In retrospect, I think sending to the left side of the jump for the backside felt awkward because of the slope. My field slopes upward traveling in that direction.
https://youtu.be/00v3_BMzVRs
I enjoyed this “challenge.” I definitely set up a strong need for a threadle 5 to 6, which he handled okay. The first time through, Flash definitely was confused 7 to 8 to 9. We made it but he definitely paused.

The SNOW melted!!!! So I got out and had a short training session. I’m not sure if I could send short videos of both my boys or not please let me know if I need to send video of only one dog. Rolex is 4yo and going to his first Nationals. Last year COVID kept us home. Vibe is my baby dog who turned 2 last October. His first trials were late fall. As I watched the videos, I don’t seem to be moving but then again I am 70. I just think I can do better.

Sarah, thanks so much for the feedback. I have been on the road and have not had the chance to reply. I agree there is not a lot of running because of how the course was set up. I just always seem to be moving slow. Question. Is there anything I can do to tighten up the turn on #6? Rolex seemed really wide and Vibe was wide too. I thought you might have a suggestion for tightening them up. Also on Vibe, the puppy, I am not as confident so I tend to hold back but as you mentioned on the German Turn I could see myself stuck behind the wing and moving more slowly.
Thank you so much!!
https://link.getonform.com/view?id=QpyM3tummDqy1yU3BTMv
Thank you. I think the Reverse Spin did tighten the puppy up and would work well with Rolex too. Thanks.
Question: You use the threadle command from 5 to 6 so the dog does not take the backside 6. To me a threadle command means to take the jump 6 & turn back to me to immediately be sent away from me to another jump. Doesn’t using a threadle command here water down your threadle command because the behavior expected is different? Is there another command that could be used here?
Threadle disc: https://link.getonform.com/view?id=oNrpoHDSPh6O5KQFCHgV
As for the Threadle???? I’m still wavering. I attended a seminar the last two days and I am seeing/hearing from you and the other two instructors how you tend to do things a little different. I’m not closing my mind to any go thing but trying to cipher it out so my commands are CLEAR to the boys.
Again Thanks for your help!
Kathy
This is something that we’ve adjusted in our handling as well. Probably about 6-7 years ago we adjusted our handling for threadles with heavy influence from Shape Up (Justine Davenport and Justine Patterson).

Greetings team,
Here is my video: https://youtu.be/MaozHwBqpO4
I have included two versions, since I would almost always use a threadle on this type of lead-out instead of the German. And I think he turned slightly tighter with the threadle.
Same note as before:
I substituted a panel jump at 5/8 since he has dropped it a couple times recently.
Also note, this is not a very good surface; it is quite slippery but Enzo has run on it his whole life and seems to adjust well.
Thanks,
Barb
