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

Things you CAN control in dog sports (performance goals)
1. my connection with my dog
2. commitment to training
3. matching my handling of a course to my dog’s strengths/weaknesses.
4. Formulating a training plan to continue developing my and my dog’s skillsThings you CANNOT control in dog sports (outcome goals)
1. getting a Q, QQ
2. course design
3. my dog hitting all contacts cleanly
4. my dog “placing”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 🙂<<<<
Yup! Exponential difference in his body from the start of MaxPup 1 til now.>>>The impulse control games are built in and not standalone – they work better in real world training scenarios when presented in real world training scenarios 🙂<<<
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 more…<<<
Yes,please!!!
>>>Also note how she has slowed down here at the end – 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. Don’t 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
