Yet another trick that is mandatory in beginners class is walking between the handler´s legs. This is a little bit more tricky and it is important to use the correct leg when you start - otherwise your dog will have to go back a few steps everytime in order to avoid being kicked and to be able to walk between your legs the next time. I saw this a couple of days ago when a young girl practised with her American Cocker - it looked really strange and the dog struggled and just didn't enjoy it at all, candy or no candy -kicks are no fun.
So - the dog is placed on - say - your left side, that means that you start moving with your right leg. You have toys or candy in each hand guiding your dog to walk between your legs half way with one hand and then swopping to the other hand.
