Oh my! The video can speak for itself! He wasn’t walking completely over the plank. I can raise it but it will have a little bounce.
>>>might need to refresh how to turn all that booty on a narrow plank π<<<<
Yup! Exponential difference in his body from the start of MaxPup 1 til now.>>>The impulse control games are built in and not standalone β they work better in real world training scenarios when presented in real world training scenarios π<<<
That was my thought and that I needed to go back and revisit MaxPup 1. I get so caught up in learning the new stuff, that I forgot to go back and incorporate earlier stuff
Thanks!
I did think of a question. Are we going to have any other isolated impulse control exercises? I need to go back and work the reward markers.I feel like impulse control is one area that I haven’t done enough of with Audubon.
>>>>I am still going to bug you about rewarding a whole lot moreβ¦<<<
Yes,please!!!
>>>Also note how she has slowed down here at the end β my guess about that is that<<<
Yes, keep on me. About that and working too long. Even with her cool coat on, she was pretty hot. I need to improve on both fronts.
Main takeaways: reward more often and more timely, keep going,connection, reward, keep going, connection!
Thank you!!
I was wondering if I should lower it to prevent him from hurting himself if he fell. Maybe with only the two of us working, he won’t be such a wiggle butt.
Would it be OK to practice going partially up and turning to get him used to turning on a narrow surface? I also have an old teeter plank that I could elevate with bricks and practice turning .
Thanks

Oh my… we have an uncontrollable rear end! Introduced Audubon to mountain climbing tonight. 1st time attempted to turn him and walk him back down.. yea, that didn’t turn out so well.
After that, Jamie was lifting him off of the teeter for me but she was uneasy because his rear end was nonstop wiggling!
>>>you were not fully turned and saying tunnel, so she went straight. Donβt mark it<<<
gotcha! I felt like I was putting in too much forward motion with no turn cue. The oopsie was for me,but I know Roulez doesn’t know that.
Can’t wait to try all of this on the BIG course.. although Amy told me it bit her booty
Worked on the Jumpers pop out sequences. Halfway through, I felt like the spacing was wrong of the set up.
^^^^^THIS! This is why,even though the heat and rain make it difficult to keep up with a summer agility camp, I enrolled.
>>>>y you!β cue, which is reactive handling. You can see it happen in your stand<<<<
Gotcha!! and she likes it much better when I aggressively run a course.>>>Otherwise, you will get into reactive mode as a habit, which ends up putting you further behind.<<<<< yup and then it will all fall apart
>>>>I think she had valid points on her decisions there π<<< I had no doubt that she was doing what she thought I wanted, I just couldn’t see it.
>> at :54, you had too much pressure towards 11 and she thought it was a rear cross <<< That one, I knew it was the pressure on her line
>>>At 1:08 β you closed your shoulder away and opened back upβ¦ looked like a pull-flip to the other side of the tunnel, so that is what she did.
After that, you added the flappy tappy β it got her head turned to you, but it stops you from handling the line and she dropped the bar. Then at 1:50 she was really unsure (she was trying to read the handling but being told it was wrong, so was not trusting things) and you broke connection and she took the tunnel slowly.<<< yes, she started going slower and slower through this section because she was I sire. She is such a good girlie and always tries so hard. It can be a double edged sword because I can get caught up in trying to “get it right” and she will keep working even though I don’t reward enough. I was using only cheese while we were working and tugs/retrieves at the end of our sessions to conserve her energy and not have her get too hot too soon. that being said, I definitely could have rewarded more with cheese and/or keep our motion going through an error. I had a passing thought about layering 14. I can set up this section at home adding the layer, verbals, and being more mindful of rewards
Thank you Tracy!
Soooo.. I will try sequence 1 again turning to the right and slicing 6. Think I was thinking I would be so far behind that I would need to default to threadle wrap as I did the first day I worked this exercise.
As to in in– my flappy tappy means to come in to me. My threadle slice cue is a hand back, shoulders open. Running that sequence I “felt” her drifting to the right and used the floppy to come in to me and take the front side of the jump. Running from 4 – 5, I used NO threadle jaf. and being a good girl, got the threadle on my verbal only.
We worked the standard course today– fun! I will be interested in your take on why from 10γ11 she chose the tunnel. I felt like my motion and body position were indicating #11.
Snuck in a few reps before the thunder got too close. I was not in a good place, was very short with Audubon. Had to bring him
outside with us and he was obnoxiously Barking.but, here ya go.
I HATE summer!!!!!! wwwaaaahhhhhhh!
Halfway through resetting the course this afternoon for more space, it started storming.
Sequence 2, I was trying to be creative with handling since I gave myself a handler restriction. It will be interesting to see what other options I have with appropriate spacing.
fingers crossed- tomorrow after work!
