Rear cross time

At Shelby's class on Friday we had a really interesting course. It opened with a chute, and I wanted to do a lead out, but Shelby hasn't been trained to do the chute with a lead out, so I ran it with her on my right. I thought it went ok, but Denielle said we all should have run it with the dog on our left.

The end was a series of jumps to a tunnel, then 4 jumps staggered, so you really could only do rear crosses. For Shelby I think it was easier since she's small. It was more difficult for the larger dogs because jumps 2 and 3 were really close together. Basically we had to stop forward motion and almost do a flip to get the jump. Shelby did well. She's always been good at rear crosses.
