The safest and bestselling jump cups in the world, Clip and Go Jump Cup Strips are now available in two styles!

In other words, any dog will take an obstacle behind the handler, whether the dog has previously performed blind crosses before or not, if the handling is incorrect. I will say though that badly executed blind crosses, usually late ones, are really not good for dogs as they make them shorten stride in anticipation of the handler changing her mind at the last minute. The same occurs with late front crosses as both maneuvers will then cut up the dog at the last minute so the dog learns to drop back and wait.

Clip-on Strips
There are two easy rules to layering:

Layering is incredibly easy for handlers and dogs to achieve, so choosing to rule it out completely really limits your options on a course. I have seen courses where the only option was to layer, otherwise the handlers pushed too far forward and pushed their dogs over an off-course obstacle as shown in Figure 14. When the handlers ran past jump #4 to cue the tunnel, all the dogs went over the off-course jump ahead. This is because the handlers had already cued the off-course jump by accelerating all the way to jump #4.

1. Stay roughly level with your dog on the other side of the obstacle you are layering. 2. Keep out the arm nearest the dog and handle as if the obstacle you are layering isn’t there.
Sliding Jump Cup Strips
As long as there is a definite difference in your handling between whether you want the dog to layer or whether you want the dog to collect and come to you over the jump, then there is no problem. There is only a problem if your handling isn’t different for the two different behaviors.
