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.
