Most Important 1 5 2 4 3 Because no cross is necessary here, you should use a verbal cue for a lateral push and a same-side arm cue. 1 5 2 4 3 Using a "desperate" cross-arm cue here dilutes the value of the cue. You don't want to dilute your cross arm because you want to rely on it in situations like this. 5 6 stay in motion unless acted upon by an outside force. If a great deal of momentum is involved more force is required to change the motion of an object. In this case the object in motion is our dog. Figure 5 shows where a dog would have come off a straight line of jumps, leading to much momentum in the direction of the tunnel. If we wish to send the dog directly to the other tunnel entrance, we need a bit of “force.” Ideally we could use our sameside arm to direct the dog. We would use our appropriate verbal cue for a lateral push and the dog would make a lovely turn, taking the correct tunnel entrance. We do need to work toward that perfect world; however, on occasion we can sense that some desperate measures are needed to get the correct tunnel entrance. In desperate times we use our cross arm to push, we turn our shoulders, and we hope for the best. Sometimes our hopes are realized and the dog gets the correct entrance. This is not ideal because we now have diluted the value of our cross-arm cue with inconsistent use, so that when we need it as shown in Figure 6, we may not get the turn toward the jump that we need. Choose a method of handling that the dog understands and one where he can follow the cue. If a rear cross with a same-side arm cue results in confusion and a cross-arm cue results in understanding, and the dog’s consequently taking the jump on an efficient and correct line, the choice to use a cross arm is obvious and logical. In preparation for this article I spent considerable time observing handling. There are many ways to run that work differently for different people. I hope that we ourselves and our instructors will fairly evaluate which method works for each individual team. A degree of flexibility is important. My Irish Setter Teagan loves front crosses; Bonnie, my mom’s Papillon loves rear crosses. For some dogs a front cross is valuable from a behavioral perspective because the handler is taking a position of leadership. So far for me and my dogs a cross arm works great; the same-side arm is for all things on that side. Find what works for you—while it is always very important to tweak things and learn new skills—if something works and works well stick with it.
