It was live during enrolment but i think most of the handling spots are full but can watch. Not sure whether more handling will be added
Hi
Yes sorry about the dogs. Hopefully better tomorrow will place camera on opposite side amd should be less dogs as most will be in other pens and fewer dogs in kennels during week. Big disadvantage with this siite but it is flat and big so can run big spaces.
Was pleased with her waits hopefully will be good tomorrow too but she might pick up on my nerves..
Could only get so much gea in ute so only had little cones and fewer wings. Should have more wings tomorrow and will try and fit tunnel in or bring a large bollard.
Thaks for your comments will try and implement them
see you tomorrow if internet gods play ball.

Hi
attempted the jumpers course today. Not sure how to improve videoing. I did break down into bits. Fusion did well although she was quite slow for her. This was much harder with turns and a bit of distance than she has done so was well pleased with her. Me I was not so pleased with I kept loosing my verbals and not moving smooth then she went in the wrong place. When I was right so was she. I have made a note thou if no tunnels need the cones to be big not little as it was too confusing for both of us or find more wings. Have left all my jumps on site so hoping to squeeze a tunnel in for thursday.
The opening is looking good! Yes, the verbals can come sooner – what verbal did you use when she exited the #2 to go to 3? It sounded like right but that is a straight line (or a left turn)
Yes my bad I got myself flustered on this and the next rep. It felt like a turn but shouldnt have been
She did well with the left turn! And the Go tunnel was a little late for her: she was over the bar before the tunnel looking back at you – so you can start saying go tunnel go tunnel as soon as she lands from the 5 jump after the left turn. And, when you got behind at :15, you used a high arm which pulled your shoulders and feet off the line to the correct tunnel entry and towards the other side, so she turned there. Good girl! And the correct command
2nd rep – totally cheating to step over the middle jump LOL!!!!
yes totally was interested in keeping her moving even if I was totally in the wrong place.:32 was a big loud cue with a high arm on the way to the 2nd tunnel and she looked at you
can tell when I feel out of control arms flyThe wrap is looking good! You can play with decelerating sooner as she is landing from the jump after the tunnel and rotating before she gets to the wrap jump, to be able to get ahead on the next line. You started the verbal on time and decelerated right after it, but you can definitely rotate sooner (you were facing forward til she landed from the wrap jump).
yes need to trust here moreFor the go after the last tunnel… keep repeating it. She looks at you when you get quiet (which is good for when you want a tight turn, you can be quiet 🙂
3rd rep – I liked the layering here! Good job showing her the line!
yes I felt more in controlHi Yes and no
All my dogs if I call tunnel before they are past a tunnel entrance and I am on the side of the tunnel but back will more often than not come off their line and take the tunnel on a tunnel command. The further back I am the more likely it is to happen. When I first walked it I thought that it would be fine on a tunnel command but when I ran it she took the wrong end of the tunnel as did veloz and te. With Veloz when I changed to a thru command it corrected immediately. Te I havent used. Fusion was less sure and showed me we needed mpre work on her understanding.
Thanks
Oops is tgere is a third video will add it in.
Tunnel verbsl is relatively well trained although when wide and running fast will run past. Thru is much newer and have added it recently so still learning. Here she was finding the wrong end of the tunnel tge closest end and does in ring too if call tunnel early so thru means take the less obvious end.
Will finother video. Jumos all low as ground sloping she has less hassel witg this than me i think.
Havent quite worked out googles doc – didnt want to find videos so will sort that out
But got done using utube
Hers fusion videos from first stuff. First couple not to bad but as got harder struggled more and more.
first two only did a couple of reps. First one altered set up slightly as jumps not quite in right place.
Found next two harder and got a few commands muddled esp on tunnel when called tunnel when should have been thru. I didnt trust her in a few places. was wet and slippery so I was being careful of my footing.
I have a samsung phone for videoing – usually download and edit on my computer and then link phone top computer to upload as havent worked out how to edit successfully on phone yet and dont have an internet connection at home apart from thru my phone- still in dark ages.
I dont like to give you more work. But will definitely investigate google doc – any tips welcome- havent used this before but would prefer not to have to wait several days after doing before I can load.
Hi
set
up part of the exercise from week 4 – didnt have enougn equipment in this location. I set the bars just below competition height and spread the course out so distances around 7 m. Fusion struggles with focus when distance and speed gets gretaer. The distance did mean I didnt manage to get to the right place often. Left in all the mistakes- did break down parts and did in two separate groups – did veloz in the middle.Lots of mistakes by both of us (especially me) but fusion was trying hard. Video is a bit long as left in mistakes and joined the two bits together
