Not my best work. 1st session of Strike a pose ,my feet were wrong. 2nd session– Too much sideline interference. In my defense, it was such a nice night and short amount of time before dark. Felt bad about leaving the others in. Esp Roulez. I did go put Audubon in the house after his second offense.
Then lap turn– my mechanics were off Home this weekend so have time to work on these and other lessons.
oh! and i realized something else when I was training yesterday. My dogs default to thinking cookies have been thrown if I use the same command “get it” as I do for toys. I created marker confusion yesterday by saying get it for both food and toys. My marker for thrown food is search (single) or scatter (multiple).I started making the change with Audubon but still find myself inconsistent at times
“and I will tell you that I relate 10000% I have a lot of “oops wrong name” moments”
😂yea, they both went to an indoor agility trial at the end of July- so 6 weeks would track for Audubon. Saz got bordatella vaccine June 25. and 🤞, I would think Roulez would be showing symptoms by now. She and Saz are mostly separated (trying to prevent them getting the zoomies together) but Audubon and Roulez lay close together in the evenings.
staying still is HARD😂
Thanks!
our work from yesterday. 1st session on turn and burn, she had difficulty sending around the barrel to the right. Stopped and then tried again in afternoon, VOILA! puppy brains! and latent learning in action
Also she and Audubon have some sort of respiratory virus. We are all puzzled because we haven’t been anywhere in several months. She started to vough and was a little punky when we got to the blind, pivot, send. I shortened distance which made hard for my timing of blind and then we stopped.
Leaving for Cincinnati Sunday and praying Roulez doesn’t pick it up. Getting the 2nd of 2 immunotherapy injections Monday.
Do we have a week break in this class?Took off a day from “training” yesterday and threw bumpers. I had 2- threw one, once she was on her way back to me, turned and jogged the other way , threw the 2nd bumper once she got back to me. did this a few times. once ahe was running back to me, started waiting for her to come to me. Sometimes she came straight back and Sometimes a wide circle. I stood still when she did the circle and waited for her to come to me..we celebrated when she came to hand.
I have observed this before –better about coming to me with bumper than with fluffy toy
The retrieve needs serious help. But to be honest, between the heat and Roulez and Tchoup, I’ve had trouble getting motivated and the energy enough to work on it. Hopefully, we will have some cooler temps soon.
It went really well!! Will work it again tomorrow and film, but she rocked it!
I’ll add higher legs to the plank ans work that as well.The first session of wing wraps was done last night when training with some friends…and the others were from this evening.
Not a great training session this morning for either of us.
Even though we took a break between each exercise with some free tine and some crate time,it was too much for a 3rd exercise.also, we usually train in the late afternoon/evening because of the heat. I wonder if having a morning nap first would have helped. The videos below are listed in the order we used
yes, she does much better if I turn and run the other way, she loves the chase! and if I drag a toy on a long leash.
Here ya go! Prop game 1 and Focus forward
got it! Next time, I will move away to tug. I am having to work at getting her to switch between food and tug and am working on building more value for the tug with me. Having a party with the tug- She is all about it
