23 Jul 2005Steve Schwarz

This course works Beginners on Rear Crosses Learning the Rear Cross Rear Cross into the tunnel and after a jump (Rear Cross on the Flat). Intermediate teams work a 270 Mr Peabody in UKC Bloodlines Magazine Handling 270 Degree Jump Sequences Back Side Entry to 270/Training Opportunity - Video 270 Degree Jump Sequence and an interesting jumping sequence containing a Serpentine Serpentine Handling Techniques Serpentine Sequence. The Advanced groups work on tight Jump Wraps Jump Wrap Handling - With Video Jump Wrap Handling Tips Jump Wrap/Wrap, a 270, and a Serpentine Serpentine Handling Techniques Serpentine Sequence jump sequence.

Beginner Class

A pretty straight forward exercise that can be broken at the table. It should also be run backwards to allow the handler’s to work the Rear Cross from both sides. It may be helpful to change the angle/location of jump 5 to ease the approach to jump 6.

Intermediate Class

Have the handlers walk the course and run it once without a specified handling. Then discuss the following handling options:

Looks like getting into position on the Handler Line Using the Handler Line - Front/Rear/Blind Cross Line Handler Line - Front/Rear/Blind Cross Line from the exit of 4 to jump 5 would be helpful in shaping the dog's path into the 270 Mr Peabody in UKC Bloodlines Magazine Handling 270 Degree Jump Sequences Back Side Entry to 270/Training Opportunity - Video 270 Degree Jump Sequence
Post Turn Learning the Post Turn Post Turn/Shoulder Pull/Pivot Turn or Front Cross Learning the Front Cross - Video Front Cross on the landing side of jump 6?
Which side of the 8-9-10-11 sequence to start on? Rear Crossing or Front Crossing? Where to cross?
Decelerate before jump 11 so you don't cue a long stride.

The jumping sequence in the middle and at the closing should be a fun running sequence.

Advanced Class

There is a focus on tight wraps around jumps in this sequence.

I'm thinking either a Lateral Lead Out on the Handler Line Using the Handler Line - Front/Rear/Blind Cross Line Handler Line - Front/Rear/Blind Cross Line between jumps 2 and 3 or a Front Cross Learning the Front Cross - Video Front Cross in the same location.
Which way to turn the dog over jump 3?
Pull on the dog's line through jump 6. Front or Rear Cross jump 5 to jump 6.
Get in position for the 270 Mr Peabody in UKC Bloodlines Magazine Handling 270 Degree Jump Sequences Back Side Entry to 270/Training Opportunity - Video 270 Degree Jump Sequence. Where is your Handler Line Using the Handler Line - Front/Rear/Blind Cross Line Handler Line - Front/Rear/Blind Cross Line?
Post Turn Learning the Post Turn Post Turn/Shoulder Pull/Pivot Turn or Front Cross Learning the Front Cross - Video Front Cross on the landing side of jump 9?
Which side for handling jumps 11-12-13-14? I'm thinking 11 and 12 on the handler's right and Rear Crossing before Jump 13. But Pull over 11 and Push over 12 to 13 will work if the handler is far enough ahead after jump 11.
Looks like Rear Cross between jumps 17-18
