Hey Tracy!
I love Audubon and I have to remember he is not Roulez. i.e., she would not be distracted by other items lying in the area.Almost a little freaky how focused she has always been. Not that it’s bad with Audubon, only different.
While Roulez was waiting for me to throw the frisbee this afternoon, Audie mounted her and started humping her. She was so focused on me, she totally ignored him. I took him off of her. When he did it again, I placed him in crate. Should I have done something differently?
Turn and Burn- I did do a few left turn reps at the end. Definitely a righty. https://youtu.be/eE3OqYeOqaU
Send, decel,blind, pivot, accel. At the end, he ran off with the toy. I let him have his moment and very shortly thereafter, he came running back to me with the toy. Yay!!!!!
yes,this type A, want to keep on track, person is trying to keep it balanced and not drive myself nutso by feeling as if Im behind. There is so much for them to learn at this age, as well as ,just being a puppy.
Thanks for voicing that!
I tried standing and sitting and 2 different type treats but each time I.would try to roll a treat between his legs, he would mostly down
So I managed to be a bad trainer twice in one session!!! I reread the instructions before our session. Forgot to play with the toy first to put in arousal.. although he was pretty aroused because he knew I was in our training room
and then I made the “one more time” mistake and let go of the toy. He caught on pretty quickly– I have been shaping go to a mat.
The tug breaks that I did do are mostly edited out of my videos but I definitely should do more often tug breaks. The outdoor videos were long– but I did rotate working Tchoup and Roulez after Audubon,as well as incorporating several recesses where they all had free time to sniff and play.
I can definitely move indoors to take out the grass and acorn distraction.
“probably needs a longer, flyball style tug for now rather than a shorter calmer agility-style tug”.- I have just the toy, actually several, that should work. Kibble is the lowest value and I can stick with it as we build his tug drive.
Ooh, didn’t think about me fussing at Roulez confusing Audie. Do you think when we are outdoors that I should leave Roulez indoors or that crating her further away would be ok?
“for this and for the prop game after it, be sure to clear the environment of anything else that might be a cue…” – Gotcha!!
On another subject, I tried to sign up for several sessions of the seminar this weekend. I knew I couldn’t “audit” live but wanted to be able to access the recordings. Would it be possible to purchase them post seminar?
Best,
Carrieok. did a little bit of dis and a little bit of dat. I have found that string cheese > tugging and tugging > kibble. i.e., he wil tug easily after kibble. Not as successful,have to work harder after cheese.
Shaped a new prop,.again ( LOL).It’s flat, won’t slide and I think it’s large enough.
Worked wing wraps and added a stanchion.
Need to find a different treat or a different place to work Blind cross foundation. My yard is LOADED with acorns right now. I was using pieces of white string cheese– if he found the cheese, he would get distracted by the acorns
We had so much fun in the live class! I had worked the target in the hand the day or so before the live class but just got around to editing.
This afternoon, we worked wing wrap and blind cross foundations. It was drizzling out so I tried the blind cross inside, but I really didnt have enough room.
I also decided to change to a smaller prop so worked on shaping the new one.
It’s long but a compilation of start lines this past weekend. I tried some to not lure her into position.Most of the time I ended up luring since we ended up in a standoff with her barking at me. BUT, overall ,improvement!
