Crosses In Agility

[Kavik]

OK I'm looking for some stuff I can do in agility on my own to improve my handling etc and would like some help on how to do front and rear crosses. I did them ages ago when I took Zoe to agility but seem to have forgotten ;) I admit that when I first did them too I did them wrong and was all over the place - Zoe had to put up with some interesting handling

Something like a video would be great as I am having problems visualising and figuring out which direction to go ;)

YouTube has good agility video how-tos, try there.

There are 2 videos out by Jenny Damm, 1 on foundation handling and the other more advanced handling skills. Great videos.

There is also a special issue of Clean Run on handling and crosses, available from Clean Run

'Special Focus Issue-Handling' May 2005.

Greg Derrett's video is also great value - 'Agility Foundation Training'

I'm sure there are others, but these are some of my favourites. Hope this helps.

Try this link for step by step explanation and (I think) some videos.

Some of the Agility in Motion series have good segments on these too.
