Look Ma, no hands!

At last Tuesday's class we did something a little different. We did a sequence of all front crosses, but we ran it without any hand signals. We used only "foot signals" and body language. I wasn't sure how it would work, but I was surprised to see all the dogs did just fine. At first Shelby was making some wide turns, so I did a few repetitions and she came in tighter. I guess I always thought I was pre-cueing with my hand signals, and maybe I was, but only a little bit.
Next week, we do rear crosses with no hand signals. Not sure how that will go!
