Start with a very short lead-out so that
you do not over-run your dog at the rear
cross. You need to create a turn before
#2 toward #3. Turn your shoulders
toward #3. As soon as your dog is on
the path to #3, start moving toward the
right wing of #3 to do the rear. Do another rear cross from #4 to #5.

There are three rear crosses in this drill.
After a short lead-out do a rear cross
from #2 to #3, then from #5 to #6, and
finally from #7 to #8. Be patient on the
cross from #5 to #6. You might travel
deeper into the pinwheel so that you
don't cut the corner and end up
standing still.

This drill begins the same as the last
drill but has one of those pesky rearcross threadles from #3 to #4. After the
rear cross at #3, threadle your dog
through the gap and send him out to #5.
Then get into position for a rear cross
from #5 to #6 as shown. Patience
grasshopper! Don't push your dog off #6.
In last month’s article my focus was
on rear crosses and I just couldn’t
stop myself from continuing the subject matter this month. Nowadays we
seem to focus a lot of attention in
training on the skills to get us ahead
of our dog (like front crosses and serpentines) as well as collection cues to
get our dogs to turn tight. The skills
of cutting corners, getting ahead, and
collecting our dogs won’t help our
dogs when the time comes for us to
execute a rear cross.
times when you need to tell your dog
to go ahead of you and you need to
wait until he passes you by before
you step behind his path. We neither
want to over-run our dogs and stop
all forward movement toward an obstacle, nor do we want to hang back
and fall behind on course.
You never want to get caught in sidechange limbo; like being too far forward to execute a good rear cross,
and yet not far enough forward to
do a good front cross. Doing rear
crosses takes patience; there are
The solution is rear cross training and
embracing the rear cross as an important and viable form of changing sides
that we all need in our handling tool
box. Many dogs need to be rewarded
over and over again during training—
not just in the beginning stages of
teaching the rear cross, but randomly
in every training session throughout
their career. We need to reward the
forward motion our dogs make toClean Run
