Black course: Send to 1, front cross after 2, rear cross over 8. After a send to 18, stay on the landing side of 19 for a front cross and finish the course. Gidget was on fire for this course and when we finished it she wanted to keep going so she zipped around on her own course. It was very funny and running her with that energy level was very cool.
Red course: Gidget used all her energy on the first course and was very slow for this one. I tried to send to 1 then set up for a front cross after 3 instead of 2 like I did before. It would have worked if Gidget had some energy left. Front cross after 5, 10-11-12 is a serpentine, front cross after 12. I practice getting some distance from the weaves so I could set up for a front cross on the landing side of 16. I found that Gidget stays in the weaves if I keep my hand up and moving forward, saw that trick in videos posted by Tori Self of her running her border collie, Rev. Oh, and rear cross into 19.
Blue course: "Right" flip into 4, front cross after 6, front cross after 16 with a good vocal cue while the dog is still in the tunnel to keep them off the dog walk, rear cross into 18.
Purple course: Front cross jump wrap over 3, front cross like in the blue course after 4, rear cross into 6, front cross onto 7, front cross after 9, then run, run, run!
We had a lot of variety in the set ups for class this last week. Definitely some fun challenges though!
Green course: 1-2-3 is a serpentine, front cross after 8. I did a post turn from 9-10 but some did a front cross in there because of a pole that somewhat blocked the view of the jump, they then rear crossed over 11. Finally a front cross after 17.
Orange course: 2-3 is a threadle! Handling options for 4-7: post turn 4, rear cross over 6, front cross after 7 OR front cross after 4 and 6 then post turn to 8. Either way you have to look out for the off course tunnel. Handling options for 12-14: keep your dog on your right and rear cross into 14 OR front cross after 12 and have your dog on your left the rest of the way.
Black (sorry there weren't many more good colors to do numbers in) course: This was pretty easy, 1-2-3 is a serpentine again, then front cross after 5.
Red course: Front cross after 4 and 9. Using a landmark to get that tricky weave entry with the cross is very important here!
Blue course: Pull to 3 for a rear cross, followed by an immediate front cross after 3. More front crosses after 8 and 13.
Ok, that's the quick and dirty overviews of the courses I've been able to work on with the girls. I'll try to keep up better so I can put more explanation in there. Probably no open agility this week :(, just class and a trial on Sat! Happy agility!
