270s and Serpentines

I made this for someone who was having trouble with these, to show how I would handle them with my dogs.

I learned the threadle handling from http://agilitynerd.com/blog/agility/handling/SingleSidedThreadleHandling.html and the serpentine handling was probably from a Greg Derrett article in Clean Run a long time ago.

finally DUSTY! :)

[agilityretrievers]

Yes, yay buddy! :) He still runs in the yard but I usually train in the dark when it's cooler, and the lights aren't really enough to see video ...

I've actually been heavily advised NOT to use the RFP.

As always, great video. :)

[agilityretrievers]

Yeah, in NADAC you'd probably have wider spacing which would make the RFP less necessary and maybe a little harder to time, since the dog has to run a while before they see the jump. Or you might have heard that from people who really strictly follow Linda Mecklenburg's system, which wouldn't use the RFP. It depends on your dogs and your preferences.

Threadling looks difficult. I'll have to give it a try! Duchess and I love to do the serpentines, but have never threadled before. :-)
