Walk in Your Dog's Paws
During Dog Agility Walkthrough

By clapping, tapping your hip, calling your dogs name, giving a verbal turning cue or (my favorite) calling out "Here! Here!"


Here you can see Sarah taking a jump and turning right.
Other handlers are checking her out, but go on their own merry way, not getting the benefit of walking in their own dog's paws.
When I use this method, I say the verbal cue I use for the turn to myself as part of my walk through. I find that this kind of walkthrough helps me see potential off-course obstacles.
But also, it also helps me remember what kind of turn I need to make and what I need to say aloud to guide my adorable puppy.
I don't worry about whether I need a front-cross or blind cross to negotiate the turn at this time. I decide that later.
