HELP! I’m just not getting the mechanics. How do I get him to follow my hand around and setup for the turn and head snap?

Thanks for such a detailed explanation! It makes sense to me now.

Hopefully what I found as a barrel substitute will work.

Thanks again,
Ken

Hi Tracy,

I’m confused about “wraps”. With the barrels, are we only doing backside wraps? If so, we should be using the same verbal for each barrel (digdigdig in my case) right? In today’s lesson I thought I heard someone use a different verbal at each barrel.

Have we worked on frontside wraps yet?

Also in class, I saw someone using wings instead of barrels. Is it ok to go to wings now? Or should I find/buy something taller than my buckets.

On the soft turns, it looks like a wrap to me because the dog goes all the way around. May I ask you please explain the mechanics and theory behind the exercise?

Thanks,
Ken

RE: How does he feel about it in general?

He’s never seen it. Any videos or suggestions on how to introduce it?

I thought this went well for the first try. I would like to introduce Manners Minder here. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

I currently only use one cue for both, “push” for my older guys. But I think I would like to change to “back” for Skeeter. It seems like an easier word to say and it has a harder sound than “Push”. Also, I like “dig dig dig” for the wrap. I heard others have 2 words for wraps, one for left and one for right. What is your opinion on that?

Thanks,
Ken

Hi Tracy,

In your demo video you were using
“back” for the backside slice. Do you use a different verbal for backside wrap? Also, if I didn’t want to use “back” for the backside slice is there other cues that you’ve used?
