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.

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?
Omg!! Different teeter, different cookies, different doggie!!!!!
He definitely needs refreshing on winging it.
Fingers crossed we don’t get rained out for class tonight!
Had a chance to work on agility- package 2. My intent was to run, break down trouble spots and put it all together, but a storm rolled in.
“Keep going when that happens – assume it is handler error (because it is, even if it doesn’t feel like that in the moment). Don’t mark her as wrong or get mad, because that will build frustration which makes it harder to process the cue (she was barking at you when you broke it down).”
If I could get this through my head!!!!! Is there some sort of long distance e collar you could use to zap me?🤣
Thank you. Plan to work on this in the next several days with the changes you suggested
Thanks!
CarrieDecided too try the teeter again- but at the beginning of training session. He was very hesitant and fearful. About ½ to ¾ of the way through the session,I realized that the teeter did have some wiggle when he got to the top that I was able to fix, but…
We worked 2 of the jumping pop outs from Package 2. Some of it went well, her inability to get the push from a distance surprised me, and unsurprisingly, had trouble flipping her out of weaves to jump line staying on inside of weaves.
Two things– it was at the end of our session, so he was probably out of brain. And the teeter was facing a different direction.
Next time we do the bang game I will stop after a few good bangs.
I want to do the sequence in the reverse direction– to the left which is his weaker side- and I will keep in mind your comments when doing so.
Thank you!!

Happy 4th! and fingers crossed for rain for all of us!!I love to train!!!!! and it’s so exciting to see a glimpse of what our future could be. At the show this weekend, I took Audubon to the practice jump. Off leash and he didn’t leave the area. It was a small area😁. We worked stays and wraps and rear cross foundation.
Today, he was hesitant to climb the mountain. After a few reps where he went a little over halfway up, I decided to stop and revisit it another day.
and the bonus BC and send sequence
and started motion override
