Advanced Class: Smoother Than It Looks! - 06-Apr-2011

Better late than never! Here’s a couple challenging sequences containing a Pin Wheel, a Threadle Mary Ellen Barry on Threadle Handling The Connection Between Threadles and Back Sides Traditional Threadle Handling Single Sided Threadle Handling Threadle Sequence, some Jump Wraps Jump Wrap Handling - With Video Jump Wrap Handling Tips Jump Wrap/Wrap and some interesting handling options from my Advanced classes a couple weeks ago at For Your Canine. There was some unhappiness during the walk through but everyone handled it nicely.

Advanced Class Sequence 1

Here are some quick notes on handling options for both courses:

Can you handle 1-6 with your dog on your left the whole way?
How about Front Cross Learning the Front Cross - Video Front Cross landing side of 2 and Reverse Front Cross Jump Wrap Jump Wrap Handling - With Video Jump Wrap Handling Tips Jump Wrap/Wrap over 3 and then Shoulder Pull Learning the Post Turn Post Turn/Shoulder Pull/Pivot Turn around to 4?
Back side of the jump after the weaves three main options:
- Push to back side, pickup dog on left and Rear Cross the tunnel.
- Push to back side, Front Cross over the jump (dog now on handler's right) and pull to the tunnel.
- Drive past jump, Front Cross (dog now on handler's right) and drive to tunnel.
The rest of the sequences are about not cuing extension to off course obstacles...

Hope you give this one a “whirl”!
