Obstacles #10-#15 I handle the dog on my left for the tire and weaves and do a front cross at the end of the weave poles. I use a verbal Come to support my forward motion to the #13 chute. I do not have different verbal cues for the pipe tunnel and chute. I make sure to continue with my forward motion until I see the dog heading to the correct tunnel. I cue the left turn out of the tunnel with the use of lateral motion just before the dog enters the chute. I either follow this with a front cross between jump #14 and the table, or I simply rotate keeping the dog on the right to the table. 18 18 18 Obstacles #16-#20 I have three options for this section of the course and ran all options several times with my dogs, one JRT and three Border Collies. Option #1 Do a front cross between #16 and #17 as in Figure 13a. On one attempt my JRT did question which side of #17 to take. The location of the front cross was too close to the plane of the #17 jump and I blocked the approach to the correct side. One Border Collie did land long over #16. I used too much forward motion to the jump and the dog read my motion that we were going straight ahead. Option #2 Do a blind cross between #17 and #18 as in Figure 13b. All my dogs executed this flawlessly. The blind cross is used purely as a side change. Where the dog lands is not affected by the cross. I execute the blind cross while the dog is occupied with the jump. I am making the side change, not the dog; therefore the dog is not cutting behind me. Option #3 Do a rear cross between #17 and #18 as in Figure 13c. This worked well for all my dogs, although I felt I was waiting for one dog to see #18 before I could continue with the cross.
