Class Saturday January 21 -
This class had a focus on two handling moves, the Front Cross and the the check command.  Each of these handling moves was done at least twice in different exercises. 


The front cross that was worked on was the diagonal front cross.  This is a front cross that is preformed on a diagonal line between two obstacles, with the handler crossing as close to the next obstacle as possible. 


The check is preformed when the cog is asked to turn back, or around a jump.  The handler does not pass the plan of the obstacle when this command is being used.  It is also used when the dog is ahead of the handler. 


Next was the teeter.  Dogs that can handle the teeter did it three times coming off of a jump. 


Other pieces of equipment used was the tire, jumps and tunnels.  Weather was cold, stormy and windy. 


Have a great week, and see you Saturday...............................
