Hello everyone,
So today after my Monday agility class at the agility club I attend, I decided the dogs needed some more work on tight turns. I also decided to throw in the teeter because you can never get too much practice with that.
I put together this short sequence which includes front crosses, tight turns, and one threadle. It is great to practice this once your dog is good at jumping and following your commands. Using tight turns is especially useful with a big dog because they tend to jump wide, which can result in a slower course time, or having them take the dreaded off course obstacle. Notice I use the command, 'here' in this video when doing the tight turn in order to draw my dog close to me to perform the best turn possible.
This course turned out to be pretty fun for me and Strider & Goliath had a great time too. With an agility trial coming up on November 28, we have been practicing a lot in preparation for that trial and the many others we have in December. With all this practice, the dogs and I will give our best performance possible!
Happy Training!
