Strike a pose
Thought he did really well
We tried with ready treat but it was too tempting to go to today lol! Didn’t include the video as it’s just him running to it lol.Backup to platform I filmed awhile back and don’t think I posted
Threadle wraps. When it got time to move slow I had a hard time still moving and turning him in a half circle lol! Also I didn’t bend as much which meant he didn’t get as nice of a circle. I thought he did really well and he didn’t totally eat hands off 😂
Whew! This was kinda exhausting 😂. Barrel wraps continues to be my nemesis. Quill has also “turned on” as my Sheltie family says 😂. He’s full out teenager now with boundless energy lol!
First tried with toy. I know my second wrap I had bad toy mechanics and whipped it right by his face. He did great with the toy with the previously learned wrapped but when I introduced the new move it was just too much for him and he went back to barrel smashing.
Switched to food and it went better. Left which is he easier side went better. I’m not convinced he knows it’s about going around the barrel yet. Right side much harder. Placed reward halfway around barrel for that when he struggled
Still having a lot of focus for my hands and the reward. I know I need to be playing some games with the reward marker to delivery to mouth. I’m not near as go as marking that as I am the thrown rewards. In my video, I wasn’t good with any of my reward markers 🤦♀️. I also think he has some confusion on when that reward is available.Alright, once I finally get out the door to train some of the things fly right out of my head lol! I see I was supposed to toss the treat before he took the jump, not after. That probably would have helped him lol! Quill being brilliant figured it all out anyway. The left side was harder. That is probably from lots and lots of RZ zone on that side.
Ok before I left for cyno we had to do some work with the barrel because he was having a great time attacking and rolling the barrel but not going around it. I was just about to go buy to large traffic comes when I decided to give it one more try! Wow! I think he’s getting it!!! Only one attempt at whack a mole lol!! I did use a target plate for the reward and had the cookies in my pocket. He struggled with the wraps previously with me holding the cookie in my hand so I thought I’d start like this! Still got a little jumping at hands but not every time!
Thank you for cheering for me at cyno! That run was a dream! Promise and I have worked so hard and you’ve been a huge part of our journey! I got tears when we won!!! Thank you!!!
Quill got some training but no official class stuff. He found the environment very exciting!!! He did some field retrieving with lots of distractions around and was even able to hold his stay at my side while his bumper was thrown! He was such a good boy on the trip!
Prop and turn aways
One side is definitely easier than the other lol!
We won’t be at live tomorrow. Promise and I are attending our very first cynosports! We leave tomorrow.
My goal is to train Quill some too each day!Tunnel game! He did really well! He runs through them all the time, but I had not formally introduced it. Took advantage of my older daughter visiting and being a toy helper🥰
So many good things and so much steam coming out lol!
Backup- he knows the beginning backup both ground and to platform. We haven’t visited in many weeks to platform. I was so impressed! With the food and hands he sometimes doesn’t like to go away from the source of food as well so the platform gives him a good target!
Pattern game- get it. He has done this 3 ways in a fenzi class. Food visible, food in arms like airplane and food hidden. He has big feelings about that food not being visible lol!!! He’s not shy to tell me how he feels 😃. This was harder than I anticipated for him
Stealth control
Started with toy as I knew that would be easier than the food(or anything that means food!). We he first came out he went to toy and grabbed it and brought it to me. I started video as I am replacing it. This game was great and really got his wheels turning. I could see that the bowl was soooo much harder for him than the toy! Lots of steam here! He did so good!!!!No rush to get to my videos. I’m playing catch up still from being gone! Enjoy your weekend and fly ball!!!
Hi! Meant to post this while I was away but I didn’t get to it. 10 hrs in the car and super long naps turned my puppy into a wild wildebeast that now is thinking of trying out for the wwf as me as his wrestling partner😂. Oh Quilly!
He did much better here than he did in the upstairs with more room to run!
Enjoy our destroy the barrel session 😂. He’s sure my hand has something to do with it… bite my hand, jump on the barrel… just not sure mom. I switched to food to try to get him thinking more, which I think it did. I need to remember to keep my hands lower as he gets confused and thinks it’s something to do with my fabulous cookie hands 😂😂. Surely there are cookies in them right.
Wow, it is not often that I see a Golden clacking like he did at the beginning of the video! Ha! My whppets and whippet mixes clack like that, BCs sometimes clack. So I guess Quill is blazing a new trail in Golden clackers LOL!!
Oh yes! He’s an air snapper lol! Promise has hers on cue 😂. Something with my dogs 🤪! He’s been doing it from really young.
Toy races! He did really well! I’m so happy he’s still chasing after the toy even though he had the food before! That’s hard!
I do have taller barrels! A narrower hamper and a larger leaf! I’ll have them on standby for tomorrow!
The wobble board got harder as he got older as it has lots of movement now that he’s much bigger! It makes a loud noise on the carpet because it’s tile underneath! Since he was showing some hesitancy I put it on his old donut bed! I introduce the Sheltie sized fit paw which he had never seen! He did great!
The plank he has done in another class, but not turning around! He has no hesitancy there!
He is not scared of heights either lol! Ask me how I know 😂. Jessica did a fantastic job with these puppies!
