Pending what the weather does, I'm going to try to get my BF to tape the two. Im really interested in seeing what time differences I get.
It does have a lot to do with your particular dog... Athena was one I spent a lot of time building drive into, as she wasn't the fastest, or most driven dog to begin with, so I try not to crank much on her if I don't have to. Kai is very driven, and she also jumps more like a BC. She is going to land being turned going in the direction of the off course naturally, so to pull her back to wrap away from the wrong course, she'd be burning up extra yards and time to get it done. None of mine are velco dogs either, so they won't naturally be curling in toward me.
