Amanda - there are most certainly exceptions as I said, but I think that generally speaking, Corgis are not one of the breeds that allows you the luxury of standing in one spot and directing them over a whole host of obstacles. I am happy to be corrected on this. At an event start, I can stand several obstacles in front of Taylor (lets say three jumps and a tunnel) and call him through the lot and we can finish a course with me stopped and him powering on to the finish and we have been successful in in Gamblers events where the last several obstacles are accomplished with the handler not able to go past a 'sideline.' But if I was taking a measured handling approach I'd keep to where he is at or a little ahead at all times. It is one thing to slacken reins on Corgis on novice type courses but when one gets to the top level, the Corgi needs to be more strictly guided over the more complicated courses.
