10 4 2 5 3 1 a Here I am behind my dog (turquoise). I am cueing my dog to turn left, intentionally or not. 4 2 5 B 3 1 I do not try to override my body language cues and ask my dog to jump #4 based on a trained forward cue (verbal directional cue or hand signal) as shown in black. I do not expect my dog to “take responsibility” for that jump as I am not ahead of him. 11 4 2 3 5 1 a Here I am ahead of my dog (red); however, my line of motion as my dog approaches #2 cues my dog to go forward (red dashed line), not turn left. 4 2 3 5 1 B Even if my dog is able to turn left to #3 upon landing, the line of motion I’ve established (blue dashed line) does not cue the right turn to #4 (red dashed line). 12 4 2 5 a 3 1 Jump #2 (and #4) is not in my dog’s path. I do not want my dog to take responsibility for that jump. I do not try to override my body language cues and ask my dog to jump #2 based on a trained forward cue (verbal directional cue or hand signal). It is my responsibility to establish a line of motion to cue the turn as in B. April 09 | Clean Run 23
