    Hello all,

    I always train on mondays in this facility (or their outdoor place).
    So after some small sessions in my tiny garden, I could really try to do some more with Ciske and get some speed and distance.

    We did some speedcircles (just round from tunnel to tunnel). That was a blast. (not on video, because that was just good and lots of fun, so no need for feedback there)
    The Front Crosses wrap back to tunnel went pretty nice now too.
    But when I wanted to cross with a blind or a FC to get the “8 shape line” we got stuck.

    I pull her of that jump quite easily what makes it difficult to get a cross done with the right timing.

    I’m not sure how to train this.
    I am used to work with high drive dogs so this little funny thing is a challenge for me. I do not want to have to babysit that jump. I think it makes me late for the rest of the course.

    How would you train this? And would you go for a blind or a FC here?
    Or should I maybe go with a rear cross later on so I can babysit and then rear somewhere?

    This is the video of our training today: https://youtu.be/SEtPiKmq-tM

    I did order some more lotus balls and other food-toys so I hopefully will get something that I can drag and is rewarding for her. That should arrive in the coming weeks.

    Thank you!
