    Just wondering….What is the distance, in feet, between jumps 2 and 5 in these exercises? I like to follow the course maps as accurately as possible but my set up of the box seemed to be tighter after watching my training video.

    I finally managed to get all the handling options on video. I can’t get him to run as fast at home as he does in competition, but I think the practice is good anyway. Who knows maybe I will be brave enough one day to try some of these at a trial. Since participating in this course I have tried a front cross after a tunnel twice in competition and it worked both time. Before the course there was an occasion when I could have tried the front cross after a tunnel (same set up) but didn’t think I could and Toby went off course. So I am learning and it’s great, Thank you.

    In video 2 & 3 Toby had to run through a puddle (from all the rain) between the tunnel and jump 2. He doesn’t even like wet grass, so I was pretty pleased with him. Here is my video for feed back. I would be interested in a side by side between the 2 Bind cross sequence and the 2 rear cross sequence.

        Thank you so much for the detailed input. I just haven’t tried a front cross with him very much because when he really runs, he is so far ahead of me, I tend to just rear cross everything. Knowing where I should be an when is so helpful. I will practice more front crosses now that I know a few ways to set up my yard for it. With blind crosses I’m always afraid I will send him off course before he notices my side change, besides the fact that he is usually way ahead of me.

          “With blind crosses I’m always afraid I will send him off course before he notices my side change”

          Good instincts. The blind cross doesn’t really show the turning cues until it is COMPLETED. A front cross shows some turning cues as soon as it is STARTED.

          So yes, you need to have really good timing on your blinds and be aware of the other off course options around you!

    Violet Exercise 6 Blind Crosses. https://youtu.be/W6WOcN7Lkps (We need to do more training before we’re going to be able to do the rear crosses)

    Okay, this is my first post so I’ll explain a little bit. I originally enrolled to do this course with my veteran agility boy, but he suddenly had to retire from agility due to arthritis. Therefore I’ve been working with my baby girl to try to get her enough skills to execute some of these courses. She’s not very experienced, is just starting out, and I never know what speed she’ll run, but here we go. This is Exercise 6 with Front Crosses. https://youtu.be/WfF7KHh_ip8

    Hi Sarah,

    Here is Enzo’s video. https://youtu.be/FcVJ8w5Lr_w

    I would have expected that the FC would result in the best turn from 2 to 3 but, at least based on how far he did/didn’t drift, it seems like the BC was better. Surprise. I expect it has to do with the execution. I must not be giving enough turning cues with my FC. Or my technique may be getting sloppy, since, irl, I almost never use a FC.

    Thanks,
    Barb
