When showing your dog in either breed classes and handling, two things you need to do at the same time are run in a straight line and watch the dog!
Some handlers are obsessed with looking at their dog the whole time, that they can’t run in a straight line and sometimes miss the ringtape!
Other handlers only look where they are going and do not check the dog and fail to see if their dog is or isn’t moving correctly.
The balance is to watch where you are running, with just a couple of glances to your dog. Try to keep it at a maximum of three glances per straight line!
