At Pawsitive Vybe we work on being as flexible as possible when it comes to getting our dogs set up so the team looks cool while prepping for the next set of tricks.

A fakie is a essentially a rebound or flyball box turn off the handler, a Reverse Vault without a throw. Fakies are great set up moves for flips and vaults and can create incredible flow.

The Pivot happens when the dog changes direction enough to cause some kind of reversal of field, essentially a 90 degree angle or more. There is a moment half way between changing directions, a moment when the dog is almost “stationary”. That moment of balance, is the Pivot.

A Pivot combined with consistent position can create a set up move that can be harnessed to create fresh and interesting sequences and tricks. A Pivot provides a consistent “stationary” position that allows a handler to generalize a maneuver to an alternate distance and positional relationship between the dog and handler.

Major Pivots:

Here – Front Cross
Squib – Rear Cross
Around
Through – dog must reverse field like an around
Recall – the snapping back to the handler
Backwards Through – (1/2 an around and through back to front)
Flip – landing of flip is balance
Reverse
Scoot
