Tight Turns and Fantastic Figure 8

Turns and Figure 8 are very much affected by our handling. The majority of the time we are not aware of how our body is influencing our dogs when heeling. Feet, hips, shoulders and head all play a role. In this webinar we will look at how to handle your dog to get tight, smooth turns and a Figure 8 that flows. I break the Figure 8 exercise down into a series of turns. I will cover exercises to teach your dog the motor patterns required for tight turns and curves. I will show you how to teach your dog to maintain position throughout the turn. Finally, we need to let the dog know a turn is coming. If the dog has no warning, they can’t adjust and the turn is either wide or you get a bump. We will look at different ways to precue your dog that the turn is about to happen. This webinar will provide you with all the tools to get beautiful, smooth and accurate turns and have a lovely figure eight exercise.
