Hey Darcy
Yes, that is super annoying – little dogs hey! haha
But I think it’s probably a little bit of a combination of things, I think you are quite close to the jump and she might be thinking you don’t want her to take it because you’re pushing into it. I feel like she has more distance work than the other dogs you are used to running so she may need a little more space, also at the same token we need her to understand the behaviour a little bit more. I would look at placing the toy on the wing in the landing area to start with to help encourage get the correct direction first of all, once that is good I would use a toy which is easy to throw and when she does the backside behaviours throw the ball in the direction away from the landing area, so she’s almost doing a complete 360 wrap on the wing but is finding it super fun because of the chase of the toy once she has done it. 🙂
