Going back in time can be very enlightening. In this segment we go back to 2017 to observe Apryl & Marty McFly doing some itsy bitsy puppy bitework. We are going to take a look at criteria, method, pace and tone. Hope you dig it.

Zig Zag patterns are dueling flanks in front of the handler: Clockwise Flank, catch, reverse field, Counter Clock Flank, catch, reverse field, repeat. A well performed or proper Zig Zag is based entirely upon the Flank. An immature or poorly performed Zig Zag devolves into alternating Passes. The Flatwork Compass uses natural body positions and natural human to canine positional pressure to communicate Flank vs Pass.
