Makes perfect sense on rewarding first obstacle!!
Obstructed obstacles!!!
Right was great! Left had issues!! No worries, my Tasmanian devil is strongly opinionated and let me know with barking and biting me I had gone way too fast😂😂😈!!! I let this session go on to long also!! I get way too greedy. It’s so hard to stop when we are both having so much fun!Also forgot to add. My pinkie finger got stuck in a tug toy leash yesterday and is severely bruised and swollen from promise tugging in it while wrapped around my finger. My throws are Terrible because of it lol!!!
Question on throwing reward sooner. Do you mean after first obstacle, after line of obstacles or both lol? Yes, I need three hands and a jet pack would also need nice😂.
I always say Potter is the best instructor a girl could have! What an awesome novice A boy! All great suggestions, I will try with him! I do run him in premier still and he is iffy on some threadles so this will be a great help!!!
Breeze walked today with his foot on the ground!!! A true Miracle. Just Sunday he was incontinent and unable to move his leg at all!! I appreciate all the good thoughts.
Promise will be 10 months on the second of Nov.
She really got this exercises!! I struggled sometimes with getting all my words out, but I straighten it out the next time. Interesting enough, I made this exercise harder than it should have been on the check check turns 🙈🙈. I left the straight tunnel off on the side from yesterday, beyond camera view, so when she was going wide and missing the jump this was probably it! She did amazing with my super challenge 😂😂🙈. Of course I realized all that after I went to turn off the camera🙈.
Her stay is non existent right now without the board! Working hard on that! She had a great stay and I did reward it a lot, but going through teenage stuff probably lol!!! She’s doing great with board will be progressing soon to off board.
Thank you!! Breeze starts rehab today and that will help my mindset sooo much! Glad I can modify the games for the princess!
Potter got a turn and he said “Old dogs may not want to learn new tricks😂😂😈.”
He was trained so differently than Pronise has been… motion was always added at the beginning. He is my novice A dog. I totally see the value of not adding motion with new behaviors! You will see me trying to Trouble shoot our issues! He said you will not trick me without my release word so we had issues with that😂😂. Then I’m sure using his release word just made everything harder. His threadle slice word is “in” and his wrap will be “wrap”. He seems that he would like a reverse of these words please😂😂. I tried it with adding motion from the tunnel and those were probably his best attempts. Go figure.
Hey! I know not to use these at a trial anytime soon 😂😂.He said “where is my brother, he loves threadles?!”
I am completely heartbroken about breeze. Some good news today, he did respond to my pinching his feet and moved his leg to all toes which is an improvement. He goes for a follow up tomorrow.
I’m going to try to keep up with the class, maybe it will take my mind off of things. I will sub Potter when I need to. He will probably be happy with that lol! He is my daughters junior dog for the most part now, so we don’t practice together as much.
Here is Promise! The tunnel send is the easy part, but I was impressed with her right! She could not quite get it behind the jump! She hasn’t learned she has brakes yet😃.
Holy Moly! The uki course!! Looks so fun and exhausting😂😂!
Obstacles 2-18 tunnel/ jump discrimination
Obstacles 3-12 tunnel/jump discrimination
4-5 tunnel send
6-7 tunnel send
8-12 weave tunnel discrimination maybe
9 backside slice
11 tunnel send blind cross
After 17 layer jump tunnel sendInterested on how everyone would handle opening 1-3 and 12-15
And then 18-20Looks like this course might eat me for lunch if I tried to run it all😂
Any video of it?
On the challengers course, I can say the faster dogs and handlers struggled if they did not layer after that teeter. It really became a foot race! We know who winds that!!! Potter is medium speed so I was able to do it. Even with my medium speed dog I don’t think I’ve ever run so hard!!!
Haha the cheering! They did a great job for only 3 people😂😂! Covid rules no spectators😞😞😞
I actually got to run challengers with my 8 inch pref dog Potter and it was insanely fun and super challenging! Lines 8-14 were non-stop. I will say the whole course required a high commitment level from the dog.
Off of the teeter, I would have preferred to use the threadle, but unfortunately I did not do this. He has a tendency to be impatient on the teeter lol.Each tunnel was a send and if I remember correctly some may have even layered jump 18 which I was too chicken to do 😂. Unfortunately Potter got spooked by the dog walk judge and lost time on it. I was still super proud of him running clean!
Here is my run https://youtu.be/0bEB6QbQuDQ
Ohhh! Can’t wait to practice it again with the added challenges! I was so impressed with the threadle! A new tool, which is why I ❤️ Taking your classes!!! I never even thought to do that!!
The Tasmanian devil aka “promise” will sit this exercise out till she is ready😊. We still have lots of max pup to get through😃.Breeze is back to 100 percent!!! Yay!
Backside- openings
I LOVE when courses start like this!!! I feel so fancy😂.
This was great! Normally, I would stick close to wing and not move up the line farther and the threadle was even better than the FF! I was lazy and didn’t move my tunnel. It ended up exactly perfect for number 4! Score lol, hope you don’t mind.
I think it makes sense! Going to go back and watch rocking horse in max pup!!! Max pup is the bomb! Yes, this puppy is going to make me the best dog trainer ever!!! So much to learn with her! She says no excuses and she learns so fast. Plus she’s fast and it’s hard for me to process! Everything happens in high speed😂
And another thing how did she end up with such a sweet name😂😂- she’s all Sass no sweet in there😂😂🔥🔥❤️.
Rocking horse wing wraps are not her thing! Help! For some reason they amp her up and frustrate her! I had gotten her out of it mostly, but here you can see it happening again! This happened with her very early at maybe 15 weeks? The good news is she didn’t grab my rear like she used too! Was it just too much with the tunnel challenge also? How do I fix this?! Why does this make her sooo mad?!?! I clued in and moved jumps further away.
Breeze
Edited to add- rocking horses with food mat. This is the previous way I got her from going to red zone on these. Maybe she’s not ready for the toy being so close in previous video🧐🧐?! Can’t what to see what you think!
Tunnel discrimination
The reset cookie is working brilliantly for her. I was very, very happy with her today! I had been doing that some but not consistently. What a difference when she gets a cookie every time. I had a handler error I did not recognize and she did not get the toy reward and responded beautifully to the reset as she started to get aggravated. Explosion averted 😂!
She did beautifully with the discriminations!!! So proud of her😊😊!!
I was also super proud of her collar grabs!! She had been very adverse to collar grabs and would not previously work if the games started that way. She came with a strong dislike of her head/neck being touched. After many months working on it, We had abandoned them because she disliked them so much. It’s been a couple months since I had used it. Super happy with her response here!!!
Breeze is under the weather today 😞. We stayed home from the trial so he can rest😞.
