Much comedy ensued attempting this and I had a dog zooming through the
tunnel in every which way, which earned me the "Use the dog's name" to
position the dog before telling them the obstacle lecture (aim before
firing.)
I'm still kinda dazzled by being back at Power Paws that I tend to lose
concentration at critical points, or Jim makes some horrible pun which
reminds me how much I miss him. I hope I don't have to choose
between Trek's classes anytime soon as I like both settings a lot, but
this class is able to cover a lot more material in the same amount of
time, because the skill level is higher.
This diagram shows what should have happened. Everything else
happened instead, first entered the tunnel on the right side then back
through the other way which nicely reset us to do it correctly.
Idealy the handler hangs back and sends the dog over the jump and moves
to the end of the right hand side of the tunnel while calling the dog
into the tunnel. It looked very smooth - for other dogs.
