Jumpers with Weaves, Serpentines, Wraps and a Threadle - 13-Oct-2010

Here are a couple sequences for working on Serpentines Serpentine Handling TechniquesSerpentine Sequence, Jump Wraps Jump Wrap Handling TipsJump Wrap Handling - With VideoJump Wrap/Wrap a Threadles Mary Ellen Barry on Threadle HandlingThe Connection Between Threadles and Back SidesSingle Sided Threadle HandlingTraditional Threadle HandlingThreadle Sequence and general handling I threw together for my classes at For Your Canine. This time I made handling diagrams but I’ll skimp on the descriptions…
Some handling notes:
- 1-2-3-4 best solution is a Lead Out or Front Cross Learning the Front Cross - VideoFront Cross 2-3 and a Jump Wrap Front Cross Jump Wrap Handling TipsJump Wrap Handling - With VideoJump Wrap/Wrap 3-4
- Stay on the line from tunnel to 5 and handle as a Single Sided Serpentine to the weaves
- 10-11-12: handler faster than dog think green line, handler slower than dog blue line worked nicely (remember many dogs turn toward the handler as you get behind - without other forward motion cues)
- Coming out of the chute a lot of dogs go wide. If you can get to the end of the chute for a front cross - it will help (green or yellow handling). Talk to your dog in the chute can help cue a tighter turn.
- The green line handling gets tougher as your dog gets going faster - three front crosses to a Post Turn/Shoulder Pull Learning the Post TurnPost Turn/Shoulder Pull/Pivot Turn, you'll get behind unless you MOVE.
- Yellow path treats the 180 like a single sided serpentine - you have to be ahead of the dog to Push over 16, if you have to Rear Cross you were too slow.
- The blue handling requires a send to the chute and you have to call your dog back over 14 to you - easiest on the handler but some dogs whent really wide out of the chute.
Can you handle the closing all three ways? I hope you’ll try!
Sequence 2
We had run the first sequence four times each and played with the different handling approaches. So I came up with the sequence above. The fun part is the 2-6 the Pin Wheel to Serpentine…
