hi
worked on cone plus tunnel neither of us have gt the hang of this yet, ziv better with cone before tunnel but not so sure when after tunnel. didnt help my arms were all over
oops sorry here uis seconf video plus exercises 1 to 3 from first set of second lot
yesterdays videos fro start set 2
Yes I should have dropped back to six weave poles. she is not weabvibg properly but actually weaves best when in flow. here weaves are improving all the time thing working best is letting her work it ut.
she is great on layering and sends although distance less than fusion at moment but not so good on close work. backsides she doesnt completely understand yet and i struggle to get there.
heres the first exercises from set one.

hi
have been training up the manners minda having finally got it working and now ziv has worked it out. definitely a game changer
here is our first session on euipment ( mind you only done about 4 sessions total) and 9definitey helped with threade wait did realise when w3atching that so focused on ziv waiting that I forgot to give threadle or ser cue.beverley
Yes I did breaqk ir down for In Synch. here are the first two breakouts for In Synch for jumpers. Also working on patience and waits.
Had hoped to do some more catching up with this and pup 1 but been raining and training last week

Hi
it is winter here so wet and early nights. But one sunny day got out and attempted the firstjumpers course. I only worked the first bit properly so got lost a few times. did forget to use my turn cues. with fusion i had jump 2 in wrong direction so ignore that. But i couldnt get the turn to 7 I think it was, rest wasnt necessarily pretty but could get.
In synch was all over the place lack of training and skills so need to work up to this.
Beverley
Thanks
I have gone back and worked on the release word and this is already making a huge difference dah…
also using the collar and then releasing on the mini pin helped.Find my face will use a toy- currently he only works for two sorts of treats both high value.
remote reinforcement no treats on me but didnt think about hand in pocket although toys out rank food hugely. I think it was helped that it was somewhere (different part of yard) we dont usually work. He is working much better if treats are unavailable but close.
How do you handle the excitment overarousal. Ziv is starting to get super excited at agility now. Teenage hormones plus the starting to do things that look similar.>
Great question! The answer is generally in making sure we have good mechanics, a super high rate of success (and good reinforcement). And limiting errors/frustration. Plus pattern games and decompression! It might have something to do with adolescence for sure, but in general we can structure the sessions and reinforcement so it is not an issue. If the pup is running off or getting over-excited or bitey, look at the structure of the session and the reinforcement – make the session easier and the reinforcement better!.
seeing in general at moment he has got so much more confident and more independent ie today when he was running around at lunch he was doing a 100 m sprint in each direction while before he was always close. he didnt need to be. Need to do some more work on pattern games . It wasnt so much we were doing anything except walking or playing or tolieting at agility, now I get lunging towards ring when dogs running before he didnt pay much attention. Obviously added distance etc He was on lead just caught me out because he had been ignoring these things prefering to play or get treats now he is super excited. need to do start doing pattern games much further away from ring and build it back up. But sudden big changes in how he behaves- typical adolscent loss focus and brain goes into overdrive.
I tried fly bakll retr
cant see much in video as my back in way. Dumb question What size ball do you use for smaller dogs (not tiny like In Synch) he is probably going to be 390 at shoulder so terrier size. he was fgoing to ball picking up but not holding on so wondered whether needed a smaller ball. With a soft toy he will bring back . so wondered whether too big for his mouthHe always turned left no matter where sent ball
Hi
Thanks . I think the fact we have got back into regular training also helpped. Definitely after we didnt do anything much for a while he was super excited to be doing exciting things.
Question with the dealing with unseen events. How do you handle the excitment overarousal. Ziv is starting to get super excited at agility now. Teenage hormones plus the starting to do things that look similar. Teenage independence and sassy is showing up lots of places at the moment….
the remote reinforcement
slightly different place with a toy did seem to go better
find my face I turned away to much on the first rep but then he got idea. Too many distractions around (builders) so lost him at the end probably also went too long … as usual
Transition on to a wing Ziv didnt really care
mino pin
here is two sessions I was struggling to stay still and manage reinforcemetnnext two videos for me really so no need to watch
working with a toy on ground. Interesting lots of toys around on ground but the only one he tries to srteal is the toy we are working with..
movement on threadles. Well that was the plan but really ended up working on the wait as me turning and going behind the jump was too much for the wait. So have gone back to wirork on the wait. I think trthe threadle and serp with movement will not be too hard once can get the wait with me moving more. His wait had got good but has gone backwards so some timeon this element definitely worth while
Heres our latest work
reverse retr
needed wider longer hallway but anywhere else at the moment he is likely to leave with toy
mini pini work
more on rock I did try to stay connected but so hard.
more on turn away
remote reinforcement – this one is so hard but this first session and will continue workingon it
did some work on ignoring treat on ground this was hard and i struggled to get my mechanics right sorry video so long
beverley
Thanks
Did the double whammy- this was much harder and definitely lifted his arousal level
Also did the rocking horse again adding in more than one thing lifted his arousal. Realise he has been used to one thing one reward. Plus my mechanics less clean.

Hi
Yes none of my dogs gotsick and only one day care but couldnt take risk.
The turn away =did some more work on this ne side definitely better – not sure that that uisnt also my comfort too, but less frustraton today nnstill struggled to slow my hand down thought I did until looked at video Interesting same thing happened when did tunnel threadle on opposite side so need to work that thru.
Here is out perch work I have done the feet on before but not alot of turning he was thinking hard abotu this.
Beverley
Apologies life has gotten in the way lately
work, weather, then last months have had everyone isolated as one of day care dogs got sick and didnt want to risk contamination if inecticous. so back on board with training Ziv says thank goodness but he is crazy
here are videos on the tunnel threadle and starting on the turn away on jump. The turn away on jump didnt go so well something wrong with my mechanics. also strike a pose with threadle
beverley
heres our second attempts
the shit pile
next attempt with me sitting for running contact mat. i realised i forgot to mark
