Wraps

In class last night we were introduced to wraps. Wraps are used to bring the dog back to an obstacle behind the one just taken. Below is an example of a wrap.

The way we practiced wraps was to have 4 jumps set up, 2 parallel to each other. The dog would take 2 and then we would bring the dog back between the 2 front jumps to take the other back jump. This is very important to get down, especially for a fast dog like Clover. She seemed to do fairly well.

After being introduced to wraps and doing some wrap drills, we had a course to run. It was a fun course with a couple of wraps and serpentine.

We also practiced some weave poles. Curiously, Clover did not want to do weave poles. I don't know, maybe I worked her too hard at COW on Wednesday night.
