When the Lure Stalls

Most dogs that struggle with spin make the same few mistakes — and they are easy to spot.

• Lure too high: the dog rears up instead of turning. Keep the treat at nose height.
• Circle too wide: the dog drifts off and loses the line. Tighten it slightly.
• Moving too fast: the dog gives up mid-turn. Slow down until they can follow.

Fix the cause, not the dog. Adjust your hand and the spin reappears.
