270 turn

Aborted pinwheel

ence for when she needs to move to the next handling point and not pull the dog oﬀ the jump. So, how can we train this? Pretty easily. Start with a 180° set of jumps as in Figure 4. Handle like you would normally. The only change that you might add is to focus on the first jump of the 180 before moving to the second jump. If you already can do this, you can move on to the next step, which is to remove the jump and place the bar on the ground. All you need to do now is handle exactly the same way as before, focusing on the jump bar on the ground. The dog should cross over the jump bar like there was a jump there as shown in Figure 5; he should not cut the corner and miss the bar on the way to back side of the second jump. The idea here is to get the dog to focus where you are focusing. This allows you to get the dog wherever you need him to go. Once you can do it with the bar in place, remove the bar. Without the bar, you should still be able to focus on where the jump/bar would be.

Threadle

Okay, that’s fine, but can you use virtual obstacles for other patterns? In a word, absolutely. Have you ever seen a 270° turn or a pinwheel where you only do the first and third jumps (also known as an aborted pinwheel)? Ever had to do a threadle? The virtual obstacle can be used just as easily in these situations to help you aim your focus correctly. See Figure 6.
