Clean Run - January 2013 - 8

Backyard Dogs
By Marquand Cheek The new year starts off with “Backyard Dog” sequences that feature a variety of weave pole entries and table work. A quick table down works for any venue, and command of weave entries will help on almost every course run. Moreover, there is plenty of jump and tunnel handling to sharpen your skills.

Figure 1: Three options are present in the #3-#4-#5 sequence. One is to perform a front cross after #2, then do a post turn at #4, keeping the dog on your right arm as you pull him through the #3-#4 gap. Some dogs will stall out a bit on a 360° turn, so another option after the front cross is to do another front cross after #4 and send the dog ahead to the poles followed by a rear cross at the weave pole entry. The third choice is to implement a serpentine from #2-#4 and a front cross on the right side of #4 to draw the dog back to the poles; it is a longer path, but could main8

tain momentum and actually save time for some dogs over the other two options. Figure 2: Start with the dog just to the right of the table and work a quick down, with the dog facing #2 when positioned on the table. Next, lead out to the backside of #2 and recall to a push over #3, followed by a 270 escort over #4. Keep the dog on your left through the poles, then step back slightly or use a threadle cue to create a running lane to #7. Finish with a tight front cross after #9 to keep the dog off the #3/#5 jump, and wrap back to the tunnel.

Figure 3: Make yourself into a human “post” with a slight lead-out off the table so that the dog must arc around you into the weave entrance. From #2-#6, you can experiment with two front crosses, or two rear crosses, as you work your way to the straight tunnel. For #7-#10, you can keep your dog on your left the entire way, but in doing so there are three off-course possibilities presented. A more riskaverse plan would be to do a front cross after #8 and another front cross after #9.
