Agility 1 Week 13

We're consistently stringing together numbered series of obstacles on the agility field. Today we played jumping both pinwheel circles and slice lines, as well as the A-frame and dog walk contacts. 

Pearls:

  •  The handler must keep moving smoothly, and keep your arm up pointing along the line you want your dog to travel
  • Turn your feet, body, eyes, and pointing hand smoothly yet obviously to indicate to your dog the line she should run
  • In a pinwheel circle, the handler only needs to say "Here!" once to indicate the first turn toward the handler, then the dog should continue on the curved path the handler is pointing out to the dog
  • Run! Jackie gets faster the faster I get
