Root Beer Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 I am finally mastering the rear cross!! My timing still needs some work, but they are finally coming together! The rears are at the end of the run. It's kind of cool when you finally get something after struggling with it for a very long time. This is the third trial where Tessa and I have successfully executed them. I think it is almost safe to say that I am starting to get it.

gcv-border Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 Congratulations! It doesn't look like Tessa slowed at all (as you know, RCs can sometimes make a dog slow, particularly if it is not a 'drivey' dog.). Also, kudos to your videographer -- commentary as well as capturing the run on video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizel Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 Nice and smooth - would never know they had been a challenge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShoresDog Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 You know, I totally sympathize. I am the least agile human! When we did agility, I was always rotating the wrong way or some silly thing. Then I took my niece Erin out with us to a lesson. Erin was 12 years old and had been taking ballet lessons since she was 2. First time Erin had ever done agility. She ran my Daisy dog, immediately understood the principles of the thing, and did every possible kind of turn correctly the first try. Doh!!! Yes, it can take us ladies a bit longer, and congratulations on sticking with it and getting it done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G. Festerling Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 One more reason I love herding! No rear, front, side or any other crosses! I always wound up facing the wrong way! Good job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arf2184 Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 Nice job! Its awesome when things start working out after much hard work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sekah Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 Congrats! I don't think I realized people with BCs would have issues with rear crosses. I'm a front-cross phobic and would do an entire course with rears if I could! Lovely run. You guys make a great team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
