I'm fed up with being at a yard with people who think they are serious competitors when actually they are ameteurs. Does anyone have any advice on the perfect technique for a bending race?
I used to be at a yard like that also. It used to amaze me how such insignificant people would pass judgement on those truly professional competitors. As for the bending, my advice is to make sure your competitors are on lead rein, under 3 years of age and preferably slightly disabled, then you can use whatever technique you wish.
