The sideways game starts with a circling game that only goes halfway. I start with my back to the fence, the circle her toward it and as she approaches the fence, I then drive her sideways down the fenceline. The first few times I tried this Gypsy started backing up. In the DVDs they tell you to just keep walking forward, but when I did that, she just ended up following me, not driving sideways. Probably had the line too long? Anyway, the next 5 times we did it, Gypsy did great.
The second time was better than the first (ie. she actually went sideways), but she was not relaxed about it. So the next two times were a bit more controlled and the last two times were almost perfect (well, in my books anyway), and she had her head down and she stopped and chewed and licked at the end. Left-brained... perfect!Photos show her going sideways towards the camera as well as sideways away from the camera.
