What do I think? That I’m very frustrated. Here I have a pup that gives clear stress signals and I ignore them and persist. How many times have you told me to obey the 2 failure rule? It’s not that I’m deliberately ignoring your advice. I start training and get caught up in what we are doing and the next thing you know….
I will bring a separate clock so I can set a timer. maybe the 60 secs will also help me.
Bingo, Susan!!!! Tried a lick mat tonight- worked better than intermittent treats.
Need help with rear crosses– maybe I missed a piece.
Something I realized this weekend, actually noted before but was driven home this weekend– when we have too many failures or repetition or he’s getting too hot- he starts grabbing grass or sticks when we finish a sequence.
We did not get much work in and that was with us doing more than we should have.
The first 2 clips are short pieces from Pkg 1, course 1 that we struggled with. The blind did get a nice turn into the tunnel. I was afraid it wouldn’t give her enough of a turn cue, but you were right! hmmm, imagine that?😁
and wow 12 – 13 was so much easier doing it as numbered.
Course 2- I want to set up 5-8 up at home. I could not convince her or figure out a way to show her the correct tunnel entrance. Honestly, we probably should have stopped after that . We were both too hot. but…
This afternoon watched 2023 AKC NAC finals- so pumped and can’t wait to train. I would love to make Finals one day.
I was being lazy and using Camp set up! We were going to work this evening but getting some much needed rain.
And is it me or my dogs? Working through a Fundamentals fitness course– trying to get either of them to move slowly is a CHALLENGE!!!
Standing still on 2 platforms?!?!?! Moving one limb at a time?!?!!? This has been our work for the day. Hope you had a great weekend!ugh!!! I numbered it wrong!!! Going out next hour to work course 2 from this package… will rerun 1 with 12 as backside.
funny because Jamie commented “this doesn’t look like Tracy”
We set up and worked the first jumping course from Package one. I kept forgetting to cue the threadles at 12 and 13.
No video, but teeter bang and mountain climbing on another different teeter at a different site went well!! No hesitation at all!!
This morning, decided to work on that lateral distant and. a front cross between a jump and tunnel. My position and timing was off and he missed the tunnel entrance. At this point, he was hot and I decided to quit.
Roulez is brilliant and I need to listen to her more!!!
It was bugging me that I was having trouble getting the jump threadle behind the tunnel.
I was using my tunnel threadle arm for both verbals!
The video angle is not good but when I gave my jump threadle slice verbal, instead of tunnel threadle arm, I had a flat hand and arm.back.
voila!
ugh…. thinking I was deleting videos from video editor, I deleted ALL of my videos on my phone!😭 and didn’t realize my Google photos had stopped backing up due to lack of room.
So.. work from the last few days gone. It was only 2 short sessions of counter motion and the ladder again. He was getting better at both.
So today– I have the last bit of straight line work and a few front crosses. I needed another step on the Fc as he pulled off on a dime. really put in effort to turn.
and we did a little teeter bang work.
We worked 2 of the agility. popouts from Package 2 today. I could not get the push out of the tunnel!!! Some of my video is missing but. I tried breaking it down and I tried placing a toy at takeoff point. She could get it with toy placed, repeated several times and then tried without. No go. Maybe because she’s headed toward fence? I think not because on a similar type push this week she also had trouble getting it. Suggestions?
Also tried the agility popout where you had to threadle a jump behind the tunnel. Wanted to layer the tunnel but was not successful.
Our work from this evening. https://youtu.be/b428By_ElQM
I don’t know if this was the “right” thing to do, but I set up 3 wings in a row, like live class, this morning but spaced pretty close together. I was hoping it would be easier to convince Audie to approach the backside wraps at a walk rather than trying to blast through.
And it worked!! Threw cheese balls as he started to wrap and then again when he completed the wrap. Predictably, he had an easier time with right wraps. I had an easier time doing blinds than the front crosses.😆.
Also started work on straight lines. He is turning toward me as he is going over the first jump. Can I place a toy after the 2nd jump? or maybe use the Manners Minder til he gets the idea?
