this is showing exercises 7-9. On the last one, she dropped the bar – I think because I was moving the lotus ball around and it distracted her. This is only the second time she has done the broad jump (we practiced it first by itself before putting it into the sequence)

Fantastic work! https://link.getonform.com/view?id=JXBsZhcm49yjlcjfxMdo
it was really fun to see the side by side – thank you!
Finally back to this 🙂
I was kinda rushed so I didn’t get to fix things, like I noticed I missed last jump on Biscuits second run when I ran Pyro
🙄
Plus seems like I never do long jump, good drill! Thanks!

If I post video here, would I be able to get feedback? Solo and I have been really enjoying working through this set of exercises! It’s been a good challenge for me to figure out the best way to handle each exercise.
If it is, here’s a video I clipped together just in case. I find I don’t actually review my training videos unless I am editing them, so I always make an edit. https://youtu.be/25sHJWNlbiA
I learned in editing that I say “Here” way too much around a turn, Also, that I set myself up for a harder time by setting up an accidental off-course and then not respecting it as an option that he could choose to take.
Yes, you can post video here and get feedback here as well if you prefer. For this post, I’ve sent your feedback to your email since I saw that before this post.
I have been looking for lessons on blind cross. I found a little in Shape Up Agility and I have a few courses for small space that focus on Blind Crosses (2017). Sure need more input and simple, graded exercises like the ones I found dated 2017 as well as more discussion.
I am slow and realize that the BC will typically not be an option for me, but the 2017 maps/exercises seemed more about finess than outright running and I thought it was fun, though the double was, Whew…….more difficult and I had to move jump five away from center line a bit. I plan to gradually bring it back to where you had it, but right now the dogs are still telling me “You want me to do what?” Added counfounder is I cannot rotate my head to right very much (very little). Ideas?
And another question. To be alerted to when feedback based on my comment has been entered: did you say something about email alert or should I be checking?
Thanks.
ps Really really enjoyed narration/discussion of 2018 world cup winner running standard (and comparison to same handler in 2000!
I know Sarah Baker did a series of blind cross exercises as bonus features:

Just realized that these may be the 2017 ones you were referring to.
Outside of these you will often find that the BC is one of the options in the small space exercises.
Here are a few more lessons: https://baddogagilityacademy.com/?s=%22blind+cross%22
As for looking to the right, ideally, you’re going to reach back, but I’ve seen dogs make incredible adjustments to their handler when the handler had physical limitations, so it could be your dog will learn to read the fact that you’re reaching your hand back even if you aren’t turning your head as much as I would normally recommend.
You could also consider being conscious of where you choose to try a BC on course and only do ones on your “good side”.
As for comments, you should get a notice as long as you check the “Notify me when someone replies to my comment” checkbox. See also: https://baddogagilityacademy.com/course/vip-2020-orientation/module-2/feedback-on-the-website/
Have been enjoying doing this with my younger dog and revisiting it with my older dog. Do you have video clips of you doing a demo on exercises 7-9?
Sorry – no. The exercise was based on the event.
