Working more rear end awareness with Audubon and was playing around with travel board and positions. (he is having trouble staying on plank as I turn him around).

Do you have strong feelings/opinions on teeter end criteria? I’ve always taught a 2o,2o. However, I know that some are advocating, even for large dogs, a 4 on.

It seems easier to teach clear criteria for 2o,2o but is 4 on better for the dog physically?

Thanks!

Ahhhhh, yes, I see what you are saying.

Thanks!

Well, Dawg!!! Somehow my post wasn’t posted.
She was doing well getting the flip away with the Manners Minder. So at Amy’s, started with the MM. tried fading to a placed reward and she could NOT get it.

Decided to move on , hope latent learning kicks in and try again another day.

Thank you! Have a great day!

yea, about the dog’s Barking in that clip. I thought it might make it harder for him and I was being greedy, there was a storm forming and I was trying to get work in with both dogs before the rain. I realized the mistake as we were working

Will be more cognizant and give him more connection esp on lefts.

I was amazed at how well he did with the 3 jumps and the tunnel.

Thank you !

He is definitely still weaker on the left than the right

[Carrie Neyland]

Is this what you were thinking? Should I give it a different verbal from my rear cross verbal

Wow! guess what I learned tonight?!?!?! Keeping my shoulders open and more connection=TTFJ!!!

AND a positive side of the heat– helps to keep training sessions short. hahahahaha

Here is a clip from a few weeks ago

and tonight’s work:

Video fail this afternoon. BUT I implemented the changes you suggested and it was much smoother.

I could NOT get the flip away. I tried backchaining, tried using my switch command and a left turn command with no luck.

I had a short session this morning before your feedback and then another this afternoon.

Jamie is hilarious!

I also have 2 videos of MaxPup 2 exercises that we worked- let me know if it is OK to post them

[Carrie Neyland]
