How to Rear Cross on Angled Approaches |
|
Do you use the same verbal cue for wrapping both the left and right wings?
We do, yes. But there are definitely people who use different words. Our wrap cue always means to wrap toward us. And pressure on the line would indicate a rear instead of a wrap:

I believe Jennifer uses two different cues, loop and wrap.
And could you use a treat and train versus throwing the reward? I;m afraid they would take forever to find the treat in my yard
We want to encourage that explosion out of the wrap, so I think a little better than a treat and train would be to throw a treat toy (like the lotus ball or other toy where you can include the treat). You can then meet them at the toy and remove a treat to give to them.
The treat and train would be my second choice (if the food toy doesn’t work for your dog). But you really want them to drive to it when they hear that beep!
Are you putting a cue to this behavior? Or will you in the future?
Yes, we do have what I would call a “collection” cue. We historically have used a version of the dog’s name “mir mir mir”, “ven ven ven”. With our newer dog who’s name doesn’t lend itself (Ellie), we’re doing “dig dig dig”.
