Step 3: Step forward with your right foot
toward the direction you want the dog to
travel in next as shown in Figure 4.
on this leg until the dog is committed
to the obstacle before the front cross as
shown in Figure 6.
See Figure 5 for the complete sequence
of steps.

Step 1: As the dog commits to the jump
before the front cross and is lifting off,
the first step of the front cross should
occur. Stepping with the opposite leg to
begin the rotation toward the dog immediately changes your RZ and so immediately cues the dog to turn toward you.
In Figure 7, Spider is just lifting and he
has collected on his takeoff since I have
already decelerated, while in the position
for my front cross. As I begin to rotate to
face him I am shifting my weight onto
my right foot. He is able to prepare his
body to make the turn toward me.

Step 3 of

Now let’s introduce the dog into the
picture and explain how the dog should
respond to each of the three steps.
The dog will be handled on your leg (and
thus arm) of the side he is closest to as he is
committing to the obstacle before the front
cross. If the dog is on your left, you will be
committing the dog to the jump with your
left side, meaning all your weight is shifted
to the left leg. We’ll refer to this step as the
commitment step before the front cross.
With the commitment step before the
front cross, you will either be a) stepping forward with the leg closest to the
dog if you are accelerating into the front
cross; or b) already leading out or already at the position for the front cross
and, therefore, you will not be stepping
forward, but will nonetheless have your
weight on that leg. The weight remains

Step 2: As I step next with my left foot,
almost completing the entire turn, Spider is over the bar fully aware of where
he is going to next and able to land on
the most efficient line to get to me, turning right. See Figure 8.
Step 3: As I step with my right foot, the
leg closest to the dog, I commit him to
the yellow jump. This third step is the
commitment step to the obstacle after the
