Step 5 This is a repeat of Step 4. The only difference is that once you have successfully avoided any unwanted obstacles, you now command the dog to take an obstacle of your choosing as illustrated in Figure 12. This gets the dog to go back into obstacle focus instead of paying full attention to you all the time.

Practicing Handler Focus with One Jump
A useful exercise that you can use for practicing your Snooker skill with only one jump is what I call a Mickey Mouse figure eight. It begins as a regular figure eight, in this case, with a turn to the right as illustrated in Figure 13a. As the dog comes around the turn do a front cross, but Step 5: Once you have bypassed the unwanted obstacles, release the dog to the instead of putting him over the jump desired obstacle. to continue the figure eight, use all the cues we discussed earlier to tell the dog to come to your side. Now rotate away from the jump a full 360° as shown in Figure 13b. When you complete the 360° rotation, have the dog take the jump turning to the left as shown in Figure 13c. As the dog completes the jump and comes around the turn, again do a front cross and use your handler-focus cues to turn away from the jump and rotate 360° as illustrated in Figure 13d. Upon completion of the second 360° turn, again instruct the dog to take the jump. I call this a Mickey Mouse figure eight because of how the dog’s path looks when viewed from above. The path of the dog taking the jump forms the ears and the path of the dog rotating 360° away from the jump forms the head as you can see in Figure 13e. 13C
