Have some fun these holidays with OneMind Dogs Coach Niki Drage’s Candy Cane course! Niki runs the course with her dogs Flow and Envy, in between dips in the water trough to cool off as Australian Christmas is hot!!

---

There are many ways to handle this course but Niki’s suggestions are:

• #2 Lateral Push
• #3 Forced Front Cross to Jaakko Turn
• #6 German Turn
• #7 Turning Back From The Tunnel
• #9 Front Cross
• #11 Front Cross to tunnel and Rear Cross tunnel entry
• #12 Twist
• #14 Lap Turn
• #14-#15 False Turn
• #16 Forced Front Cross to Jaakko Turn

Coach’s Tips:

• Make sure you are at least 1m / 3 feet past the tunnel entry of #7 when your dog enters so that he knows to turn the right way. See Turning Back From The Tunnel.
• Watch your dog as he approaches #9 so you know when he is committed and you can cue the Front Cross early and start heading back to the end of the Dogwalk.
• If your dog needs more handler movement for motivation then a Reverse Wrap is a good choice for #14 instead of a Lap Turn
• Have fun!!!!
