Jackie gains confidence from chasing me, so for now it is important that I keep running so that Jackie can chase me, and so that she knows the line she is to run. If I keep going without pausing, then Jackie can also keep running while knowing where I want her to go by my advance cues.
Pearls:
- In order to build value for prompt, enthusiastic startlines, play the 1,2,3 "Go!" game with Jackie, driving her to the manners minder to reward running forward from the start line on cue
- Play with Jackie before starting her run so that she is engaged and enthusiastic
- When running, keep my arm up indicating Jackie's line she is to run
- When cueing a loop around the near side of a barrel, remember to say "Here!" to cue Jackie to turn toward me then "Loop, loop, loop!" to cue Jackie to collect and loop around the barrel
