Nice demo, without dog, a better understanding and follow the handler movements, twists, etc!

This is a beautifully illustrated demonstration! I Double love it…cause apparently I already watched it before and liked it. Just rewatched it and it is so helpful to explain this concept to new handlers. Thank you

This is fantastic. I'm a beginner and I've generally got front crosses down (big thanks to one of your other videos there) but some lines still flamboozle my brain. I'm going to try walking the sequences with a helper like Ol'Blue.

Awesome!! When doing your blind crosses, add speed to your forward motion, like you are trying to get over on the freeway, from the slow lane to the fast lane. Imagine a car is coming up fast on you in the middle lane (aka, your dog), you would never pull into the middle lane and slow down, forcing the car behind you to adjust their driving. Speed up, get over two lanes, then adjust your own speed. Welcome to the world of dog agility, happy training!

Really good. Not many videos I’ve watched do a demo without the dog. Your video was so helpful as using Ol Blue made it easier to focus on the handler movement which was your aim. Repeating & in slow motion helped too. Written advice super too. Thank you.

Happy training, glad it was helpful.

I love everything about this demo! I think another very important part of using ol Blue is you are not confusing your dog while the handler tries to figure out the movement, placement, body language. Best not to confuse our pups while our brain is working on new concept 🖤🐾🐶🥰thanks Mags

Thank you for this. Just getting started in agility. My dog seems to grasp it all. Me, not so much. This breaks it down. Looking forward to keep these videos on hand for practice time.

I like the way you explained and demonstrated the front cross. I have a great dog!!! I have to work on my handling skills!!! I can relate to the other comment about the dog getting it right away but not myself!!! Anyway I appreciate the way you teach!!!

Great stuff as always! I think the jump height needs to be adjusted for Ol Blue. 😉

[@GoGetEmAgility]

Poor Ol' Blue, I thought the EXACT same thing, perhaps 12". My pup kept getting whacked on the jump.
