This week on the podcast, we take a closer look at how dogs actually run a course and what handlers can do to help them run it faster and with more confidence. We explain why dogs run lines rather than individual obstacles and how understanding your dog's stride, structure, and turning ability helps you choose the best line for any sequence. We also talk about why the fastest path is not always the shortest and how video comparison reveals the true optimal line for your dog.

  • How pulling, position, and continuous cues shape your dog's line
  • Why tight turns slow dogs and when a wider arc is actually faster
  • How to compare options on video to find the best line for your dog
