Cueing Lead Changes
Handling for lead changes is easy if
you keep in mind that dogs naturally orient to their handlers. Generally,
when you're on your dog's right, your
dog is on his right lead. A "natural
lead change" occurs when you ask
your dog to turn toward you. An "unnatural lead change" asks the dog to
turn away from you. "To cue natural
lead changes, you just have to change
sides," said Mary Ellen Barry, a fulltime agility instructor and competitor at the IFCS, WAO, Cynosport, and
US Open national and international
events, coach at WAO Internationals,
and UKI judge.
Anticipating and cueing lead changes
at the right time can make a huge difference in how well you and your dog
run a course. When taking a jump, for
example, a dog can change leads before, above, as they are descending,
or after the jump. A dog who changes lead in the air above the jump,
however, can drop a bar. "When a dog spins on the backside of a jump," O'Day
said, "it's because they haven't changed leads yet. They circle on the original lead
and then change to the new lead as they complete the spin." Therefore, the
most foolproof way to cue a lead change involving a jump is to do so in time to
give your dog at least a stride or two before takeoff.

This handler does a rear cross to changes
sides and cue the lead change.
Sometimes "you've got a nanosecond to tell your dog which way to turn," said
Rachelle Jensen, agility competitor for over twenty years and instructor for ten.
"If you don't cue in time, they can jump incorrectly or turn into a tunnel at an
ugly angle." Jensen explained, "When your dog goes the wrong way, it's often
because your body didn't move to the lead side of the dog in time. If you're approaching a pinwheel requiring the right lead, and your dog is on his left lead,
