I'm so pleased with Cinnamon's learning. She is going to be an excellent competition dog. You can see her checking in, trying to gain control (and earning corrections in the process), and resisting the distractions of the line of dogs and running dogs because she KNOWS how to do this exercise. We have worked on it for a few days with and without distractions. We will do it again this evening as my cameraman accidentally hit photo, hence the small clips, however, Cinnamon is a corker! We'll see if Willie can keep up. lol
Deb, I am confused. Where is your Point A or Point B? The purpose of having a definitive Point A or Point B is that you STOP, walk the line with the Turn footwork, reposition the dog, and then go again. This gives a learning dog much needed time to learn to 'read your feet'.
Going up and turning with stopping at a Point A or Point B does not train the learning dog to take responsibility for 'reading your feet'.
