Crosses can be executed on obstacles where the dog naturally slows down, such as the teeter and A-frame. Another technique worth working on are crosses behind and in front of the weave poles. Crossing in front is often much better than crossing behind. In fact, whereas crossing behind often slows a dog up, crossing in front will often speed them up. Crossing in front seems to take more work to learn than crossing behind, especially crossing in front of the dog in a jumping sequence or in front of the weave poles, but it is worth the effort.
Timing is everything.
