    Aight, thoughts on end of weave poles, flipping away to the tunnel behind, as opposed to the tunnel ahead? Cuing with shoulder turn and arm?

    • Jennifer Crank says:

      Great question: We did have some dogs see the tunnel ahead and go towards it or even take it. It depends a lot on where you were when you did the flip. Ideally, you’d like to be back at a pole 8 or 9 so as you apply lateral pressure towards the dog you are so far back that they turn left for a 180 and THEN you say “tunnel”. I think 2 things make the short, straight tunnel come into view: 1) if you have to be next to or even ahead of the dog to get the flip. The one dog who took the wrong tunnel, the handler was ahead of the dog. 2) if you are using “tunnel” to get the dog to turn away. Get the turn away and then use the verbal. They should be turning on motion, not because you yelled “tunnel”.

    wow. impressed at how well your pup understands the verbal ‘here.’ thank you for including the hiccups in your run. What happened at about 48 seconds? was it the timing of the verbal? or was there something else that made him question which side to take jump 11?

    • Jennifer Crank says:

      At :48, he took jump #11 but he just took it in the wrong direction. That threadle is harder than what we have trained for. You had to go about 22′ from the landing of #10 to the threadle. We are not trained for that level of threadle 🙂 Compare that to the threadle at #14 where the dog only had to travel about 8′ after landing to find the correct side of the jump. Adding greater threadle distance to our list of homework!
