270° Right Turn – While heeling, the team makes a 270° turn to the handler’s right. 270° turns are performed as a tight circle, but not around the exercise sign. This sign may be used more than once. NOTE: The yellow arrow shows you the path you will take as you make this turn. Can you see that, even though you are turning to your right to make this turn, you will end up going to the left? From a course building standpoint, this sign works the same as a left turn.
