Questions & AnswersSo another exercise that you can practice with your dog is when you take a 270 turn to the left and then make a left hand turn after that. We are going to demonstrate that with Ursula and again we would try it on leash and then we would do it off leash. Let's go, come on, good and remember when you are working with your dog on leash try to have the leash just there as a safety device not that your pulling your dog around with the leash use your body and your voice to try to get your dog to follow you. So we are going to do a 270 turn and then a left hand turn. Munchiken let's go now when you are making a left hand turn it is important that your dog is actually following what you are doing there is my 270 and here is my left hand turn. Okay good girl, it is important that they are following what they are doing when you are making a left hand turn because otherwise they are going to be out ahead of you and you would make your turn and your dog would wind up on your left hand side. Let's try that again and this time we are going to do it off leash and see if she does as well. Okay come here, Ursula ready let's go so I'm going to do my 270 I need my dog turning to my right, good girl, and then I make my left hand turn back to the sign. Good job. We would try that again she lost a little bit of focus probably my fought cause I'm talking to you and not paying attention to her. Ready let's go come on Urs, good girl, let's go, let's go this way, and then left, this way, good girl, good job not bad for her first time.
