Rear Crosses 101
Dogs 12 months and older: Knowing how to do rear crosses will help you be a TRULY well rounded handler, even if your preference is to be ahead of your dog as much as possible. Even though I can often beat my dog to places on course, there are a lot of times when it really makes sense to do a good old-fashioned REAR cross. Yes, front crosses and blind crosses seem more fashionable at times, but, even so, knowing how to do rear crosses will help you be a truly well rounded handler, even if your preference is to be ahead of your dog on course when possible. ​

Dogs 6 months and older: ALL ABOUT LANDING SIDE APPROACHES is a self-study course that will help you master the challenge of approaching tunnels and jumps from the landing side or 'backside', rather than from the usual takeoff side. You’ll never look at tunnel discriminations, threadles or backsides the same way again! Not sure what a Landing Side Approach (LSA) is? Click the button to learn more! ​
