Add a second jump. At this point, you should
be rotating on the LOP just as the dog
completes the stride before takeoff.

Here you are working on diagonal-line lateral
distance or “triangle turns.” Start with the dog
about 6' from the jump and position yourself at
the same distance on the landing side.

When the dog is comfortable and confident,
progressively increase the diagonal-line lateral
distance as shown.

Next add a start jump and a finish jump. This
is a great exercise to work on both your
position and your turning cue. It is one of my
favorites and I go back to it often with my dogs
to reinforce great turns and to help in their
understanding of the LOP and front cross.

Pinwheels come in all sizes and shapes. Put
one up and do LOPs on both sides and
around each side.

The angle from #1 to #2 is steeper for this
LOP. Make sure the dog is lined up straight
from jump #1 to the center of jump #2.

This LOP helps cue a fast, straight line to the
tunnel. Don't rotate on #2; wait until you draw
the dog past the A-frame, almost in line with
the tunnel. Your LOP skills will help for #4-#5.

You can stand at either #2 or #3. The lead-out
advantage is that you are able to get closer to
#3 to get the push to the back of #4. If you
stand at #3, pivot when the dog is at #2. If you
stand at #4, pivot when the dog is at #3.

Here is an interesting lead-out pivot where the
turn is not on a jump. You need to draw the
dog to the front of the jump before rotating.

I like to put up a three-jump
pinwheel to practice LOPs
with my dogs. The angles
change from easy to severe,

This drill is a test of your straight-line, lateral
distance skills. Don't cheat! Stand in the
position shown.

It looks like the handler has a lot of lateral
distance from the dog, but her line is only 9' off
the dog's. This is a relatively easy LOP once
you can add three jumps to your lead-out.
