21 Figure eight
Common handler errors:
1. See Heel on Leash
2. Slowing down when the dog is on the outside
Helpful hints:
1. Make sure to give the dog enough room when executing the inside
post. Many handlers cut too close and the dog is forced to drop
back into a lag.
2. Give yourself enough room at the start of the exercise (especially
for those with large dogs) so you can take at least two steps
before going into the turn.
3. Unless you have a forging dog, always start the exercise by going
to the left. If you go immediately to the right (dog is expected
to get up from a sit and go into a fast), it start the dog off
into a lag.
