We played with a couple elements of std 1 for a tiny bit this a.m. haha, I then went on to dog walk training. So many down ramps, so little time😂😂.
The weaves-her entry was great, but she consistently popped out at 10. I think I gave this 3 goes. Ideas for a last pole skipper.
The line to tunnel threadle. I’m going to need a very, very independent threadle for this line. Ideally, I would like to layer 11(haha I have to layer 11, no other options except for a Segway😂😂). I see no other way to get to 13 and aframe. Ideas😊?!
Didn’t try opening because my teeter was backwards and no one to help move it at 6 a.m lol!
Got in part 2! Storm clouds moving in a gentle HUMID breeze😂😂😂.
My dogwalk is still a work in progress(I have a leaper😂) so started on down ramp, (except the time I could not resist and yeah she missed the target😂😊)!
She kept missing the jump after the tunnel. I’ll admit I wasn’t sure as I was trying to book it to my position 😂😂. I realize now after watching video I needed a right command!
I think I may have almost died in the making of this brief video. Gosh would it be nice to be one and done haha! The humidity and heat is insane!!! I choose standard 2 to work on first. I felt like it had the most doable challenges for us. The heat was affecting both of our heads! I found it hard to be on time with my verbals which was unfortunate because my running speed was like I was running through a mud pit!!! Promise has more trouble with her stay in the heat! She’s like nah not doing that today lady, let’s get the show on the road.
I will break it down into parts. Had a little trouble with her going to aframe on the slice. These attempts we were better but I had to hold position more and then not be able to do the blind I would have liked.
The backside push also needs some work😊.
Question on serpentine going to dog walk after weaves … is that a left-right command. I’m still having trouble wrapping my head around what words to use in that situation.
Anyway, I thought I’d submit this and get some feedback before attempt again😊.
Hopefully this evening we can film the other parts and then maybe tomorrow we can attempt the whole thing!!!
Awesome!!! Thank you so much for the video!! I assume a reset cookie is ok, to keep the angry elf just under threshold lol?!! She really just wants me to throw the toy!!!
Since my internet crashed last night on my turn 😩, I wanted another shot at sequence 1a to turn team Frantic in to team fake chill😂. Wow! She totally gets the flip!!!
Thank you so much for last night! It was a huge confidence boost for us! I wasn’t confident she would do any of it😂😂! WOW she amazed me!!! It was great fun too to be put under pressure! Something we both need to practice!
Also, friendly reminder for the GO proofing exercise for knocking the bars. I tried to be a tad quieter this morning and it worked lol!
Now we are taking a break today 😊!!!
-A theme developed: Don’t rush, take the one more step 🙂 You were moving away from some of the lines too quickly an dtoo soon, so she pulled off the line.-
This is my theme song 😂😂! Run like you are on FIRE 😂😂😂! I try to be chill, but it’s crazy hard for me. It was bad before with Breeze. Having a dog like Promise doesn’t help reform me. This one is an angry elf and growls and bites😂😂! Please don’t catch me Promise😂.
Also, wish I had 2 15 ft tunnels, the 10 footer didn’t help me out at all lol!!!All excellent advice! I’m going to take your notes and write them on my jumper’s course map so I can remember 😊😊😊!!! We need to go back to practice our serpentines and then learn the threadles. I’ve not begun threadle wraps with her either. So much to learn with a baby! I was studying up today from the verbals class. I will try to remember to open up my shoulder more for her and not to be in such a rush.
Glad you got a internet connection😊!
Thanks for all the advice!!!You’re the best Tracy😊! We’ve gotten 3-5 inches of rain today!!! I’m keeping my fingers crossed it stops or doesn’t start up tomorrow night again for online class! The rain is a good forced agility break lol! We worked hard the past day and a half in the jumpers. The jumpers stuff is hard and addictive 🤣🤣!
Jumpers 2! I knew I could not do the whole thing, so broke into pieces. The hardest element was the threadle, well since. Have not trained the threadle. I guess it’s time to go back to verbals class and start working on that lol! Also, I’ve done very little with tunnel threadle, but I was pretty happy with how she did. I Will need to break that down further also.
Also realized, my word for my backside circle wrap disappeared and became my backside slice verbal, what was my word anyway?!?😂 I can’t remember 😳. Back to review verbal class for that too!
I was much happier with my rewarding! I did much better I thought, I didn’t hesitate! The whole session was very fun and we both had a great time despite not having the skills to do it lol!! We will get there 😊😊😊!!! I can see our future and it’s going to be amazing!!!
Oh and you have had enough coffee. I used my left and right verbals wrong! I had not had my coffee and well I was in a rush before the rain to get this done. Bad trainer!!! I also could kick myself for saying YES and messing her up. I’m trying to eliminate that, but old habits die hard.
Breaking it down later this morning! Oh goodness, I don’t think it could be any hotter!!! I don’t have much of a stay today so I sent to backside one. I tried a wing before one but I was still too late😂! I won’t work on it again till I get your feedback😊.
Jumpers course 1.
I anticipated 1-2 would be a problem for us… haha it was! Haven’t spent hardly any time on threadles or that approach to the backside. I will need to work this component separately. I tried a little later breaking this down, but her mind wasn’t there today. Starting having issues with stay so just quit. And she was just probably tired! It’s hard running agility in the swamp!
Other issue was send to second tunnel. I feel like my I was too far ahead and then showed too much decel which caused her to pull off and hesitate.
When I broke this component down I completely lost all my words when she got it and I got stuck having to do a rear lol! I could not remember which directional and fell back on switch which I used with the boys lol!The middle part was really good, VERY happy with the go line and tunnel send!!! Wow! And her backside later!!! Good girl! I struggled here to get all the words out and fell a little silent. It all happens so fast!
Will definitely work on this one more. I want to be able to do all the ways for the opening. In my mind the threadle opening will be the best for her once she learns threadles😂😂!!!
I need to be quicker with my reward! I’m sure the mistakes were my fault. I know I caused most if not all the bars down.
Haha! Of course I was early!!! I’m always to early!!! Just as bad as late😂😂! At least it’s knocking my dust off and she has retained the training lol! She will get me back in order! I don’t know if you noticed but she did not bite me or even think about it! Good girlie 😊😂! Find my face in action😊. I prefer her verbal feedback much more than tooth hugs lol!
Her Stay was amazing!!! And I have a dog that layers!!!
Can’t wait to try it again with all the pointers😊. Awesome advice.Lots of fun this a.m. we are knocking off the dust on some of the jumping skills since verbals class lol! I had most recently been focusing on those pesky contacts lol! All that work for one obstacle (Dogwalk)right?!?.
Love the class concept and forced myself to rewalk the sequence and look at my video when something went wrong!! Click for me lol!!! I do this at trials, I should do it at practice too 😊!
Overall I was very pleased with her! This is her full height. Still not much experience at this height, so we had some bars. I believe most bars may have been with a question for her!
We did have a don’t wanna moment on the wrap on last sequence lol! Not a surprise since it’s quite rusty and well she always liked to give lots of feedback with those anyway😂 given the chance! No mom you must always run!! No slowing is allowed!Can’t wait to hear what you think!
Seq 1 https://youtu.be/pyXEvpDh_fg
Seq 2 https://youtu.be/nqgdSG3CAe4
Seq 3 https://youtu.be/uqmjstU_NKw
Seq 4 I broke it down at end😊. It would have been nice to have rerun after breakdown, but too hot to do in this session.
This is every attempt.
Paxil
The clonidine or gabapentin for situational like the car.She has been on the Paxil for a week and so far no side effects!!!
She is doing great with her agility skills! I’m hoping get life skills will eventually be just as great!!!
We had our vet behaviorist appointment today! After 15 minutes of observing her, she thought she was a candidate for meds
Lol. The appointment was about an hour and a half and promise never relaxed or stopped reacting to the people.
Hopefully with continued behavior mod and the meds she will get some relief from the anxiety that she suffers from!A lot of games in this class are key for her! And I Truly believe she would not have been as successful in her feos without the class. Thank you so much for it😊😊!!!
