For the few morning classes I've actually held this week (afternoons have been postponed due to the heat)...

This week I've designed a beginners course to test handlers' ability to run a course first time in full. An advanced course has been integrated and will be posted later this week ๐Ÿ‘€

Let's talk about option tunnels...

A number in the centre of a tunnel indicates the choice of either end of course.

These are rarely done and I believe it's for the following reasons: it's difficult to achieve a safe and interesting setup; course designers often want handlers to run specific routes; appropriate trade-offs are definitely hard to design.

Trade-off is the name of the game!

A well designed option tunnel should have a trade-off between speeds, distances, difficulty, or any combination thereof.

In this example, the โšซblack routeโšซ offers an easy tunnel entry, a slightly awkward exit to #5, and a longer overall route.

The ๐ŸŸขgreen route๐ŸŸข offers a difficult tunnel entry, but a much smoother direct route to #5, and a shorter route.

On the ground, the ๐ŸŸขgreen route๐ŸŸข is 3m shorter on dog's path - which I estimated to offer a 0.5s gain. In testing, a medium dog gained 0.6s and a large dog gained 0.5s.

I do think option tunnels are super interesting and should definitely be used more often! ๐Ÿคฉ

Thought I'd give you all a peek so you can start thinking this course and its options through; before I do a deep dive later in the week! ๐Ÿ‘€
