He continued to be a good boy all weekend. No video but we made progress on moving target, worked stay interspersed with tugging/release/sit and play with other puppies. This was all done either ringside in between events but with people and dogs around or in the grass and near the picnic tables, Very impressed with his focus and work. We are in that summer afternoon rain pattern so our planned training session today was a no go.
Sooooooo, did a little stay work this afternoon at the agility trial site. He found his stay!!! At least for today. Think maybe we are feeling a little adolescent this week.🤣
just found out that, even though Audubon is only 8 mos old, I am unable to use the arena and equipment Thursday night. (I’ll be at a show site). can I hop into tonight’s class if it’s not too full? If it is, I understand.
Gotcha about the distance from the setpoint jumps. and yes, I was more focused on his stay than my position. Also, I didn’t plan well. Thought the toy I had would be long and fluffy enough but should have brought his other long toy.
The Barking– it was not just Roulez but my training partner’s dogs. We had them in the car but so warm that we had to leave the car windows open. Maybe for now I’ll only train him alone- at home and at the field.
I’ll be my usual enthusiastic reward self next time we play.That was very unlike me
well tonight he was choosing to wrap!!!
think I needed a larger and longer toy for the setpoint exercise. and he was having a few issues with his stay.
He actually did better than I anticipated!!!! Esp after this past weekend… we did one day of a seminar on Saturday that I was told was puppies/ young dog. I asked specifically if he would be appropriate because we hadnt done any sequencing. “the other dogs are all at about that level”. yea, not. The good parts – his stays were AMAZING, he was eager to work and tug in a new environment and on turf which he had never seen. I guess some of what we did percolated in that baby brain of his and made what we did today very simple and easy.
ps.. I was giving him a cheese ball as/before I took his collar, He is his mother’s son. Looks like I am pulling him off his feet
since he is still jumping up on me when attempting wraps, should I hold off on the wrap proofing game?
A few barrel wraps from today.https://youtu.be/M5ckd_PfuS4
yea, it was nice out and I gave in to the temptation to let everyone stay out while training.
We worked on lefts and rights last night in the den. He is so funny!! Turning to the right,he does a reverse tornado, spinning up as he turns right. Left definitely needs more help.
I had the manners minder at least 10 ft away from the last jump. I thiught even further than
that. Maybe setting him up closer to the first jump will help. I’ll check it out today.C
The progress we made with his weakness with left turns has taken a hit with our crate rest.
I decided to go back to barrels with the wraps since he had so much trouble in class with the wings. It’s obvious from this session that it’s the left turns and not the wings that were our issue.His stays also took a hit. I ended up having Jamie hold him for the wind in my hair sequence. This morning I also practiced stays with all 3 dogs using your method. He did well. I didn’t include that video, but I did video.
