Okay here next set
veloz struggled alot more at this – the last wing position was further over than looked from camera angle.
Fusion noticed still giving too much help and little movement
To make it more trial like I did the exercise with higher jump bars and more space- about 7 m at a highly exciting environment – local kennels so sorry about the noise. No tunnel so replaced with the jump and tried to go to it more. Veloz it was too much so downed it after this . Fusion alot more failures. Unfortunately camera cut out on both dogs Fusion got much more into thinking mode and had a much higher success rate inspite of distractions and veloz yelling…. Veloz went back to simple things as environment was too high
veloz abit too much for him
fusion first half before she got the hang of listening and more energy
Still struggling with technology- I am cursed…
Arguing with old video camera which seems to film for a certain length of time and then stop. Downloaded onto my new computer and then my new computer decided to die. So have borrowed a computer – trying to find backups and then get them converted and edited so a bit mixed up in terms order did. Most of these latest stuffFusion at various places- didnt always do quite the exercise
Veloz he struggled with these exercises and I ended up using alot more body language to stop him getting mad. He was fine when just the one obstacle but struggled when more speed (his). This s progress as not long ago he struggled with the tight stuff on one obstacle. History of not listening once start to run. He was good when send to wing and one jump. I started with the toy as he tends to stay involved more with the toy but changed out as the toy was just too much when had two wings and a jump.
Both dogs are doing well on the backside wrap with fusion now staying rounded on a low bar and veloz starting to accept the concept of being so close and turning away.

go to be able to attend at a reasonable hour- good as on tuesdays my time and I work from home tuesday and thursday so will be able to do next wed as well ya
Thanks for your comments.
I did try the treat toss behind with veloz but he found that too hard as it requires him to move away from jump. It is something that I am starting to work on separately. I think putting another wing behind us would work better at the moment. With the serp was struggling to get him to commit to the wrap at the start. I found it quite interesting that sending him to the wing and me moving towards a jump he found challenging. He was fine when jump past the wing . He struggles with thes close exercises when countermotion. Will seperseparate out these two components with just a straight jump iecwithout me trying to get serp handling.
PS I did the wraps from week 1 with the wing before as well with both veloz and fusion and they found that easier I think because they were already moving.
Tech issues so way behind in processing- computer crashed and new phone away.
Videoing on my old camera- obviously on some weird setting as wide and flat- s if I wasnt fat enougn ..
Also fogged up a bit. So miss my phoneHave caught up today with a computer and internet connection to edit and down load.
Fusion
left and right seems to understand except when I apply too much forward motion closer to wing- not so much issue when start further away – I tend to be along way away normally anyway. Not that I managed to get into camera…
Veloz biggest issue was getting him to come to me but think he understands left and right alot better than he did.
Both dogs also did some go later and they were fine- go is their favourite command
Fusion
realised on watching that should have been encouraging the slice more on the backside . Also discovered a point at which the back command was over ridden by the jump so will work on this point – also found the same when further away from the jump so more to work on. serps biggest issue was me- Fusion was good. I need to get into position faster..Veloz- Video is too long as includes serp, back side wraps , back ( I think) and just put this in because he was so good- he stayed engaged ( a little jumpy but no anger.. previously this sort of stuff pushed all his buttons) although he shut down a little. He hates this sort of stuff and dislikes being close so was pleased he stayed working and even had fun at points. I did quite a bit of toy play and goofy stuff in between so ended up being a longer session than normal but he was still involved. He struggled on his bad side a bit more and I broke it down a bit more- for example I reinforced just the wrap. He is not great on the wing wrap especially to the left so I got a bit stuck on the serp and had too rely on my verbal to get the turn. I also mixed up the different exercises as that helps keep him engaged.

Hi
Here is next session. I started changing verbal so not quite as consistent. Also jump is now 1m away at this point she definitely thought about it. Sorry you cant haer much as camera beside veloz… Veloz barking is a huge distraction at shows. Also this is at my local kennels right beside their day runs in a huge paddock. I did do some with me walking past wing as well there is definitely a point at which she asks the question – it occurs when I am past the wing before she has turned- not a place she is used to seeing me.
Done work with veloz with him jump had to be about 2m away before he could cope.
Beverley
Agree totally with all your comments reverbals.Current verbals
obvious ones like obstacles
go- keep going on your line until I tell you something else- can be patch. te especially to a tunnel
left and right – soft turns not well proofed
wrap to left – lala and wrap right rara- need to change one after listening to video did use dig for both might go back to using dig plus one of the others
away a work in progress means turn away ie change legs
tunnel go to tunnel
through- tunnel threadle- work in progress
thread thread – jump threadle
hisshis is a serpentine – mixed not sure I need it as much any more
out – means stay out on your line dont come into me use when layering or alot of horisontal distance
back – is go to the back side of the jump- in reality probably a wrap. think I need a separate one for backside slice although tends to happen naturally at moment without a verbal
meme- come towards me bypassing anything else.Traditionally I have also had a round round which was a 180 dont think I use that any more
I dont have commands off the contact geaOkay I did manage to set up the skills from the last set today. didnt set full height as ground has some slope and didnt want to make it too hard to jump.
Fusion worked well- see first two exercises. I do forget se is till a baby and needs more support.
Veloz struck an issue on the third obstacle of first set- he kept giving me a backside even if hehad to almost push me out of the way. Not sure why tried being in a differen place but it needed me a long way across jump not sure why,,,
als fusion working distraction with a strange dog that was being worked just out of camera- struggled need alot more of this.
Hi
Thanks for that.Attached some of our distraction training. The friendly chicken didnt help veloz he prefers to chase them.
I then took fusion.into paddock sheep ecited side right fast. Fusion was good in paddock inspite of chickens poo and sheep. But i should have known she was plotting couple of hours later i went out to find she had broken into the paddock to investigate everything, Sorry phone had a accident at start of lockdown and so not filming very well.Veloz and lambs and chicken
Fusion and lambs and chickens
Fusion in paddocks
Yes I am pleased way be are handling things. lockdown last time had 2 days this time was at massage appointment – so no drench for goats and little dog food. Dogs arent impressed they dont get their usual…
Older dogs not sure but if put my thinking cap oon am sure I could come up with something- thats a good idea. Have had dogs in back of the ute or in their keenels which same general area but need to think about how I can have them more intergrated – Fusion ignores currently because she knows no access. Sheep same in their paddock. Might have to take games into paddock..
How much longer do we have to post things
I was behind before but nzhas been in full lockdown for past week so limited options to do courses.
Upside is more time to work on the trial stuff both dogs. Veloz finally seeing smallamounts progress. Have been playing combinations especially lead on lead offaoround obstacles and the treats on chair game. Resostance less and when moves aeay tends to come back himself.
Videos too long to put up.
Fusion been trying to increase distractions. Lambs around and have been grazing lawn, my other dogs, toys food on ground. She is getting more focused. Her car chading instinct much improved when go for a walk she looks and wants to but lead stays loose. Have also done a little with other dogs hard at moment and most of time stays focis ehen she doesnt either returns part way or comes back immediately. Need to get this in more exciting place with more exciting dogs but not posdible at moment.Hope you keeping well
