Figure 5: If the rear cross maneuver falls a
bit out of your comfort zone, then use the
turns from #3 to #4, #5 to #6, and #6 to
#7 as places to polish up that turning skill.

Figure 6: Keep the dog on your right
through #4, then do a front cross back to
#5. Jump #7 is shown as a "you choose the
side for approach" obstacle. But practice
both approaches to determine best way to
succeed. Jump #10 can be wrapped right or
left depending on how you choose to set
up for the jump after #9. Consider whether
you should front cross and wrap left for
a nice line to #11 (but present a possible
off-course tunnel), or whether you should
keep dog on your left arm and turn right
at #10 with a possible loss of momentum.
Figure 7: A lead-out pivot past #2 and a
push to #3 is advisable or you could do a

rear cross while running with your dog
on the left from the start. Use a rear cross
for the tunnel entry at #6, another rear
cross between #8 and #9, and then choose
which direction to turn at #11 for efficiency, speed, and off-course avoidance.
Figures 8-11: These diagrams present
more advanced sequences for experimentation. Break them down into manageable pieces with frequent rewards.
Feel free to create your own segments.
For added variety, you can easily replace
the straight tunnel in Figures 2-8 with
a seesaw or chute. In addition, you may
substitute a short set of poles in lieu of
the tunnel in all the sequences.
May the course be with you. Give thanks
to your dog this November! D
