Had just a few minutes this afternoon so tried the 2nd jww course. Easier to send out to those jumps going this way. Well when I time it right. I thought it went well and I love how she grabbed the weaves the first time.
The first few seconds of this video are really all I needed to see. This is our first time in the bldg around equip and during class that I asked for a lateral stay and look forward. Yippee skippy.
The rest was just lots of fun.Yes it does, would I put any treat on that target? Or is the visual enough? Maybe start with a bigger target and work smaller?
Finished off that round of pop outs with the course on the left.
We did a once and done cuz it worked and it felt really good.Then I wanted to do a short blip of some contract training to get your input if you don’t mind. In a trial she would never drive to the end with me that far away or that far back. The last rep where she did stop off to the side and then came back at me instead of forward to the treat was similar to what she does though at the trial she doesn’t stop and may jump off the side to come back at me. I don’t feel like the ready treat is even a lure per say because she will still come off and she still didn’t go to it that last time. I had her pretty jacked up, lots of tunnels and then having to re do when she did go to the treat and didn’t get it. Any other ideas for me?
I don’t always have the opportunity to try these again so woo hoo.
My first instinct was BC 2-3 on the first sequence and I tried it though for some reason I didn’t include it. I had 20 minutes of recording to shift through and thought I grabbed all of the running parts.
That scenario tends to get me a bar at 1 or 2. How can I help her with that?
We did do it last night and kept both bars up our 2nd try.The lovely spin has been a bit forgotten when I stopped running Reba. I do need to remember it though especially in that scenario on the last course, it worked nicely.
Going back thru to see what I may have missed first time around. I did more RC than I’d like and not always pretty but didn’t feel I could get out of there doing anything else.
I had one and only one goal for this week. No stopping.
I’m pretty sure I was successful!!I probably should have stopped after my first run at course #1.
I did 2 & 3 this morning and I loved how well they went.P.S. sorry about the excess barking, I try not to do that to you very often. I only had a limited amount of time and they other 2 needed to stretch their legs too.
Yee haw!!
I wanted to leave the DW out for practice so it condensed the course some. I told Donna maybe to take one of those middle jumps (5) out tomorrow since I can’t make our weekly CAMP time. It will be better for the big dogs. I didn’t do the ending cuz I didn’t like how the 18-20 was. Look at those weaves though, holy crow I’m not sure I realized I had THAT!! Damn, red girl’s got skills.This makes sense however, she doesn’t give me a chance to show her what I’m going to do because if I’m behind her on any contact she comes off the side and comes back at me. I don’t know how to address that because I can be behind her at home. She may do 2o2o to the side but she waits. Always being ahead is not very realistic for me.
If I’d known then what I know now I may have considered running and no I do NOT think that would have solved all my problems but her desire to stay in motion is difficult for both of us. She’s already off the contact and mad cuz she doesn’t know where to go and she’s entitled to that. I’m expecting her to even briefly pause for instruction and she’s off and in my face.
One of my hesitations with running was always my lack of verbals and that changed with her.It’s always a learning experience that the next puppy benefits from.
I’m stuck on my contact training. I do feel like what I got in these videos is what I had last year at home. I could keep running even if there was some decel but she’d rock back and stick. It’s the getting back in the show ring. We’ve done a ton of FEO. It doesn’t seem to hurt, but only seems to help my next run. I was going to ask though, do you feel the release is enough of a reward and no more treats?
This course was FUN! Here are my 2 runs from STD course 1. I just realized the 2nd video says course 2, it’s not they are both course 1. I wasn’t sure how it would go layering the tunnel when she was in the weaves and holy easy peasy. Plus her contacts were spot on this morning. It’s gonna be a good day!
I did work the last few jumps and got my timing better and as Tina said, got my a** out of her way and there wasn’t more back jumping. Josie probably back jumped more this morning 3x than she has in 3 years. It’s just something she doesn’t do and I’d like it to stay that way-LOL.
Back to CAMP!!
After a long weekend trialing we opted for some pop outs today, not that they were easy 🙂 but at least easy to remember!I wish I’d had more time to play with this course. Found it easier to her to handle the distance behind the DW the 2nd time 10-12 around vs the first 4-6. My 2nd try on the course we struggled getting the teeter. Seems easy until it’s not. Then we get into a shouting match and we both get frustrated. My bad, sigh. That’s very much trial like behavior but usually it happens after the teeter.
