Handling, handling, handling. This week I have had the good fortune to have two great training sessions. Opportunities to explore different ways of handling turns in a supportive environment, where you can try different things and analyse how it might work, how does it feel - does it suit you style, does it have flow, does it suit suit your partner, does it help turn acceleration or provide better clarity of where turning to? To talk things through, articulating and discussing it, embeds learning processes. So refreshing, challenging and exhilarating.
So I tried some handling cues the turn through the gap of two jumps in a style that I had seen whilst watching last years FCI Agility World Champs.
Just love training and it has been such a buzz being able to get some done.
Zev did some training on Sat, kindly arranged by Bernadette and held at Lesley's place. See the OBay blog for the video's from that. Really enjoyed being with the shelties, and the collies, and the honorary poodle. Variety is the spice of life!!!!
It's been so long!!

I love that BC! I had practiced something similar a couple of months ago. Much faster than the handler turning 360 degrees.
