In a similar train of thought as the previous blog videos…if you have a dog targetting hard to the left or right…moving of right or left away from his favored target (handle or elbow) on approach will draw him back toward center (but will often decrease approach speed). With reps the dog anticipates that movement off line and reacts to a slight movement off line toward center. With that anticipation and the following reaction you can then catch the dog thru the side he doesnt favor. We try to keep balance in young dogs by catching right and catching left throughout their development. In dogs that come to us favoring one side or the other…we work on getting balance with left and right catches, but still allow the dog to finish and blow thru the side he most favors to maintain speed.

Follow the line the dog chooses and be prepared to make a left or right catch by moving the appropriate foot back.

Once the catch is made follow through in the direction the dog “was” going and transition in the drive immediately. The sooner you can put the dog on the ground, the less chance you have of injury.
