False Turn 1 e false turn is a technique used to correct the dog's line prior to takeo so he lands on the correct line for the next obstacle. e handler rst rotates toward the dog, as if starting a front cross. When the handler sees that the dog is landing on the correct line, she rotates back in the opposite direction as the original rotation. Common places to use the false turn would be in "T" patterns of jumps or for a tunnel discrimination. 1 2 In Figure 1, you can see the jumps make a "T." As the dog is approaching the rst jump, his natural jumping arc will take him to the backside of the second jump (turquoise path). To cue the dog to the inside of the next jump, the dog's line needs to be changed prior to takeo for the second jump (blue path). In Figure 2, the jumps also make an o set "T." e dog's natural jumping arc will still likely take him to the backside of the second jump (turquoise path) so the dog's line need to be changed prior to takeo to properly cue him to the inside of the second jump (blue path). The dog's natural jumping arc over #1 will take him to the backside of #2 (turquoise path). To cue the dog to the correct side of #2, the dog's line needs to change prior to takeoff for #2 (blue path). 2 1 2 The dog's natural jumping arc over #1 will take him to the backside of #2 (turquoise path).
