Cue Earlier

While describing your dog's line of travel on course, remember to cue much sooner than even feels necessary. Earlier and smoother handler cues make it easier and more fun for the dog. 

The take-home pearl for today is CUE SOONER 

Pearls:

  • Give your on-course cues much earlier than you think is necessary at this point
  • Carry the lotus ball in the opposite hand to what your driving hand will be for the last obstacle
  • Homework includes building drive and value for individual jumps, do this by having Jackie drive to a variety of reinforcers such as the lotus ball and manners minder
  • It bears repeating: CUE EARLIER
