In Elite, several dogs stalled out between jump #6 and hoop #7, but almost all of them turned right after the hoop.<br /><br />In Open and Novice, the handler had the option of sending their dog from #6 to #7 off their right. I can see where a dog might think he's supposed to turn left after the hoop in this case. The first open handler on the video chose this option, but her rear cross was well timed and her dog turned in the correct direction. Handling #6 to #7 with the dog on handler's left gives the dog advance information about which way to turn. Unfortunately, it is all to easy to run up against the line on this side. A lot of the elite dogs are experienced enough to keep moving or re-direct with a verbal, but most open dogs not so much.Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06876637959835151427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5630214950743290025.post-35978519272737642822012-01-03T19:59:11.664-08:002012-01-03T19:59:11.664-08:00Sorry, I meant a lot of dogs turned to the left af...Sorry, I meant a lot of dogs turned to the left after #..Laura and The Corgi, Toller, & Duckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06437492165453445126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5630214950743290025.post-19740260839617917112012-01-03T19:58:22.940-08:002012-01-03T19:58:22.940-08:00I've been reading your blog for awhile now and...I've been reading your blog for awhile now and this is the first time that I did a NADAC trial the same weekend, and ran the same courses! A lot of dogs at our trial turned to the right after #7 and I'm not sure why. Did you notice that at your trial at all?<br /><br />I ran my 2 in Open Chances, with one qualifying and the 2nd one getting the send to #7 but then must have watched the others as he too turned left.Laura and The Corgi, Toller, & Duckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06437492165453445126noreply@blogger.com
