WE’RE BACK!!!!!!! I was really pleased with his focus and switching between toys and food. I need to buy more cheese balls to avoid the grass searching. ..
yay!!!!!!
We had a great time!! I was having a little FOMO— but so exciting to watch sibs Voulez and Roux and other friends giving it their all. My goal is to get myself in better shape and work our distance and layering skills in preparation for the Open this year.
Jessica wants us to have an all sibs reunion at the West Coast Open. I don’t know if I can make that happen- over a 30 hour drive but how much fun would that be!!!

Trying to get back in the swing of training after being out of town…
First video is from over 1 week ago. and then yesterday, we worked handling bonus challenge.Question– I use the verbal “switch” to support my rear cross.
Technically it is a turn away from me but thinking Week 3 switch away is more a turn away on the flat and a different verbal would be in order. Yes?

>>>>>I agree with Jamie that you were in her landing space at :55 when she took the bar,
I felt the same, that I was in her space. We also had a discussion about my codependency tendencies-i.e., wanting to help too much.
>>>>had decel and clear upper body cues, and she nailed it. You also had good decel at 1:40 and on the last rep (good coaching, Jamie!
I would like to work toward her performing a threadle wrap with less help from me so I can keep moving forward and not so much decel.
>>>>using your backside push verbal, but you were standing in the threadle position so the threadle slice cue might make more sense
haha, Jamie called me on that too and as soon as she started to say something, it hit me that I used the wrong verbal.
Thank you!

What? Me? Obsess? 🤣
No , I gotcha. My plan was for us to put this to bed for a but and focus on the handling part this week.

oh funny!! Well, since I’m not spaying Roulez, who knows? Maybe another puppy in the near future wouldn’t be such a bad idea.
We had a great time at the trial. Almost had a QQ yesterday but she dropped a bar, which is unusual for her. I have looked at the video and can’t see (or hear) anything I might have done to cause it . Maybe it was just one of those things.
Audubon had a few short good play sessions with puppies about his age. Very proud of him, because he recalled back to me in the midst of play and then I released him back to play after a reward. I was very choosy about when I recalled to up our chances of success.
the session was split in two with ball/frisbee and free dog play in between. That being said, you are right. It was too much. This all reminds of that saying – just because you can do something, doesn’t mean you should. I forget he is so young and I lose track of time. My best bet is to set a timer. I had forgotten that I did that with Roulez.
This weekend we had an agility trial– I made sure to keep our training sessions short and included some fast and furious fun.
Thankyou!!
so my note I submitted last night didnt.. heading out to a show so will write tonight
Have a great day!!
ps: yes, the WEC is awesome!Thanks Tracy . yes, Tchoup was a consequence of a lazy trainer.
We’ll use these suggestions on our next session.
