The previous video just double posted
Starfish
The threadle wraps went well by themselves. The sequencing was hard for me and him.
Again will do other side. There was a big hole there from having to take out our beautiful live oak that had fallen :(.
Mostly pretty good. Hopefully I’m ok with the timing of the release word
Yes the weathers crazy. It’s winter then it’s 85 then it’s winter. 27 tonight
I just want 50s lol!I forgot to post this🙈. Went to Uki and completely forgot. Will do other side next session. Was too much for both sides. He caught on! Hard exercise! Did it with promise and Prytania too. Great proofing. He’s a smart puppy!
Forgot to say the bar is on the ground due to league course. It’s hard having all the things going on in the yard. Didn’t seem to bother him
Tunnel threadle. He got the left with no issues but the right was more of an issue. Revisited it in the afternoon. I think I had my wing different so I tried moving it around some to help. The weather is bipolar and it was a feels like 85 here today. It was hot for Quill since it was just 30 last week.
Thank you for your kind words about Potter. He was an amazing dog! It’s tough without him. Having the other dogs yo train and hug helps tremendously.
Here is the advanced version of the get outs. He only had one time to miss the get out and zero mistakes on the go. It took me a minute to figure out the blind cross with the get out with dog on right lol! Somehow I can’t function without actual wings and bars to go to. Enjoy my reverse spins 😂. Quilly read all beautifully lol! I used latent learning for me and got it. Very hard to be timely on those blinds.
Get outs! He really did well!!! Now to get me more comfortable with the arm 😆. That’s the hard part.
Rocking horse turn aways…
He was so brilliant!!! I saw my arm was getting high on the turn aways. Then it got even higher even self preservation mode haha! Will try to keep it lower and slower to help with the jumping which is why I was lifting my arm lol!!!
Threadle wraps pure brilliance!Zig zag- hopefully I did this correctly. Again he was so good!!!
You can keep your arm even higher, so you can connect from below your arm and still have your shoulders pointing to the line. It would be a ‘feeding giraffes’ position 🙂 but that is relatively common in Europe, where arms are high and handlers are connected below the arm.
– You can also sometimes use the opposite arm to send him out!Yes, I noticed my arm too🙈. It’s kinda like it’s a magnet that just happens. I know my arm somehow magical floats up on sends 😂. So I think I need to try the reach for the stars method and have it float higher. I have tried to adopt the other ways, but they don’t seem to stick for me. I think holding it higher will work. I do use across the body sometimes but depending on course I find that to be difficult sometimes to do and run as fast as promise needs me to. I think
Quill is going to be pretty fast also! She does better with the higher arm too so I think that’s the way to go lol!Wing wraps, mistakes were mine. Too soon on the turns. He got cookies, no worries.
🥰.He did really good! It’s going to be 80 today and he got a little hot. It was just below freezing 2 weeks ago. Louisiana weather lol! Where are the nice 60s?!
Haha… I love the photographic evidence. Yes it was hard for me. He isn’t driving ahead totally yet so makes the timing so tough when rears are harder for me anyways lol!!!
Ok another Amy blunder lol. I tried the layering briefly yesterday and he wasn’t getting going to the jump just running past. We quit pretty fast. I went out today and tried it. He did much better was still running past the jump sometimes on the right. Took a break and rewatched the video and realized I had it set pretty advanced lol! Well he did pretty wonderful for that!!! Retried with wing further in to tunnel and he was 100 percent!!! So the first videos are setup like you had. The last are my own lol🙈.
Rears without Aframe interference lol! Hes pretty good on his rights. I think he has a lot more questions on left. Will keep revisiting minipenny to help with the verbal directional learning.
Rears and gos. Still catching on. At the end he didn’t want to go in front of me and decided to stay by me for the tasty treats lol!
I will redo the lefts and have the same setup as the rights. The Aframe was where I needed to put my jump. I think that will help him on that side.Ladder moving target… he did great and he didn’t bite me once lol! The toy training is going well! So much improvement. It helps that this toy is so large!!!
Quill is brilliant!!! I love him so so much!!! He did so so good with this. I think I caused the first question! Otherwise maybe one on him! Otherwise he was so perfect!!! He’s such a special puppy 😍!!!
Winning on the toy too. Added food for the SERPS and toy for away from me. It’s circular so a little easier to not get bitten with. It does have rabbit hair which is a huge draw for him to tear and eat lol! I traded for a cookie and he came back every time! No me going to it!!! Progress!
Ok, I probably messed up with the lefts and rights! I get so confused without a bar and just the wing. I think I pictured the bar on the wing maybe differently than you. Maybe not lol. Actually that doesn’t make sense lol! I’ll have to rewatch. I’m ashamed to say I did walk it and practice. I didn’t watch the video though. Poor Quill! I do get it right most of the time in practice and competition lol!
I left out the first reps, they were me front crossing. I think I did it 5 times 😳🙈. This one was hard for me and my brain as a front on the wing is autopilot. Quill did great and really had no questions except once he thought I was going to reward him as I had lost some connection to him. He did great! I did sequences my brain could handle lol nothing too fancy!
