Agility Jumping Close Up Analysis

Wanted to talk about a jump Jackie took this morning in an odd manner.  I do NOT want to say, much less think about, a rotational fall. This is NOT that. However it was odd the way Jackie took this jump and how the bar stayed up until she was several strides away from the jump and on to the next obstacle. Happy to know that Jackie is fine, she didn't fall or get hurt in any way, and hopefully we've learned from this experience.

Agility 2 Week 10

Jackie and I played a mini course with hoops, jumps, and A-frame, with a serpentine of jumps in the middle. We also played post turns and wraps.

Pearls:

• Practice rear crosses at home so Jackie has a clear understanding of what rear crosses are and how we are to play them together
• Jackie is doing a great job playing with me; we love how she is beginning to play with me as a game
• Be sure to turn your body and move to indicate your dog's path to her when doing post turns and wraps
