One of those choices will force you to do a rear cross at jump #2. After making sure you can drive your dog to the tunnel, can you also keep him out of the tunnel from jump #6 to jump #7? Don’t forget to also try both exercises with a lead-out. Can you lead out past jump #3? You don’t necessarily need that much of a lead-out in these two exercises, but it is a very good thing to practice. The exercises in Figures 7 and 8 have a lot of speed through the #1 to #4 sequence of jumps and then become more technical between jumps #5 to #7 before opening up again to speed through the rest of the sequence. Can you adjust your dog’s speed to make these exercises work? The exercises in Figures 9 and 10 are more difficult. You can add even more difficulty by starting the exercises with the dog on your left and on your right instead of taking a lead-out. One of those times, you will need to do a rear cross at #3. Doing the threadle after doing a rear cross at #3 is not easy. Some of the exercises may be too hard for your novice or beginner dog. If so, be sure to break them down into small sequences and reward often. You might want to save some of these exercises until your dog is more mature and go back to the harder ones in a few months.
