“Got 270” is the name of the
270 training article and incremental training that I have used
for many years to teach the agility pattern called the 270. It is a
pretty simple process of starting
with a 90° turn, building it up to
a 180° turn, and that eventually
morphing it into a 270, as shown
in Figure 1. I still use this method
when training young dogs, but it
is not my primary or only way of
teaching the skills needed for reliable independent performance of
the 270 pattern.

reliable, independent 270 skills.

of a jump and take the jump coming back toward you, he may already have a good understanding
of a 270. Figures 2 and 3 show
that the handling to the back of
the jump can look just like the
handling on a 270. Practice sending your dog to the back of one
jump from all the positions in Figure 2 for back-of-the-jump work.

Back-of-the-Jump Work

Reinforce the Pattern

The skills of a 270 are very similar to back-of-the-jump skills and
I find it difficult to have one exist
without the other. If your dog un-

If your dog already understands
the 270 pattern but you are having some errors once in a while,
