Faulty Front Cross
Another video from Tuesday's class - I did the 2nd FC because I was told to, but Tibby and I almost collided! The 2nd time it went much better. Tibby likes to run too!
Yup, collisions sometimes happen, usually because we are late with our crosses. I nearly tripped over Beckett doing a rear cross in a serpentine. And at our last trial actually stepped on his toes as he came out of a tunnel.
It's good that you tried the second FC. Sometimes you need to run a bit more ahead of the dog to get into such position for FC that you don't collide (that would be a bit more toward the last jump). Also, I would start turning as Tibby was starting to take off. It will become natural with more practice.
Independent, curious, highly intelligent,clever, mischievous, precocious, strong-minded, playful. Collected from various sources:
1 -Stubbornness. Tibetan Terriers have an independent mind of their own and can be stubborn and manipulative. You must show them, through absolute consistency, that you mean what you say.
2-Suspiciousness or timidity when not socialized enough.
3-"Separation anxiety" (destructiveness and barking) when left alone too much.
4-Lively and playful at times, yet also calm and low-key.
5-Makes a good watchdog but is not aggressive with people.
6-Most are amiable with other animals, though perhaps a bit bossy.
7- The Tibetan Terrier is very stubborn in general and must be shown from Day One that you are in control.
8-An athletic and agile sure-footed climber, and a clever problem-solver who often uses his paws with great adeptness to open doors and hold toys.
9- 1/3 Dog + 1/3 Cat + 1/3 Teenager = 1 Tibetan Terrier
10-Tibetan Terriers are family-oriented: they love to play games and participate in activities with their people.
Patience and a sense of humor are musts for the people of a Tibetan Terrier.

Love to see Tibby run :)
