Rear Cross or Back Switch!

This week it is the exciting week in WAO (World Agility Open) Championship in England. Our friend Toshi-san and Queen Bee from Japan and Gina O'keefe and borrowed dog from down under will be competing. We will be following very closely on their results.

We are very lucky, even though the weather is hot, at least the haze is not very visible. Our focus this weekends is Rear-Cross or Back Switch. These Rear-Cross exercises allow the dog and handler focus on following objectives;

1. Rear-cross over two jumps,

2. Rear-cross over tire jump,

3. Rear-cross through tunnels,

4. Rear cross to weavepoles,

5. Rear cross to broad jumps.

All the above mentioned objective allow the dog and handler, manage the skill of rear cross and allowing handler to better handle their dog over the designated agility course designs.
