    I am not quite sure how the dog knows which wing to wrap. It looks like in the video that the dog is always wrapping the same wing, but we may not always want them to wrap that side. How are we directing them to the side we want? Or are we at this point in the training?

    • Sarah Fernandezlopez says:

      I believe that the initial wrap is obvious, there’s only one wing wrap that isn’t a rear cross wrap. From there, they’ve learned the behavior is to continue wrapping in the same direction at the initial wrap. Does that make sense?

        Yes, I think so. But I was reading in another exercise where Jennifer commented that she uses “wrap” for a right turn and “loop” for a left. Would that be used here?

        • Jennifer Crank says:

          In the demo video, the initial wrap is cued to always turn TOWARDS the handler. Ex: Jessica uses “seek” to mean turns towards her – clockwise if dog on left and counter if dog on right. Once the initial wrap is cued, the dog continues on the wing.

          For me, I differentiate left and right with separate verbals so yes, I would use “wrap” for right and “loop” for left and continue to say the verbal as I wanted more wraps. This allows me to do multiple wraps away from me as well.
