I’m back – kinda. I did some of the skills for week 3 before the toe incident and then finally got a chance this morning to do some of the week 3 sequences with Ti. I have spent the last 7 days keeping someone from chewing on their bandage (and I have another 6 to go!!!!) – LOL!!!
Bummed that I’ll miss so much of CAMP with her.I forgot Josie did a 2nd course, but we had Donna tape it cuz my phone was acting weird. It was hard to get the serp line while having to somewhat babysit the backside coming out of the tunnel.
Same with the skills for week 3, the backsides are going ok as long as I walk out of them or walk into them and sometimes both.I did Novice courses with both of them this time. Plus I figured out if I’m there alone (with Ti) I can put my ipad on top of the fridge and get most of the ring- LOL!!
I’m learning Ti just doesn’t have the commitment that Josie has. I should do some overlay between them and see how my handling differs ( I see more arms with Ti?). I’ve been running her so much it’s becoming way more comfy for me 🙂 Who knew the cray cray one would become comfy.
Oh and yes group training again yesterday – apologizes for anything you might over hear. We never stop talking-LOL!Let’s just forget the skills stuff and my verbals. I’m going to blame it on the heat. Good?
You’ll see we had a few friends over to train with us. I was shocked she did so well with people in the bldg so it really didn’t matter how the course work went.
Ti just did the 1 course, we are a little rusty with this tough stuff. It took quite a while to get thru it, so it was hard to determine how many runs I actually videoed of it.
I’m probably going to try and do both dogs at least initially since Josie also has CC#2 and it’s been ungodly hot to try and fit it all in with just her.
Here are skills which btw were confusing. I should have numbered them – LOL!Novice sequences
MM worked well for the threadle stuff, unless you leave the remote in your pocket. I tried the sequences with the threadle, but we need to spend more time on the basics before putting it into course work. The serps however are still installed!
Did some moving jump grids. I’ll put the other couple grids on my to do list.
This was an awesome course, awesome series. THANK YOU!!!This was a short session, for some reason I was all confused what arm to use when and how, LOL!! I was getting in my own head and trying to figure out how she would know when it was threadle vs serp. I’m just using arm back for serp, should I use opposite arm too for threadle? Other difference is threadle will have the ininin verbal. Every time I pre-placed a treat in the lotus ball she went straight to it. It was just one of those training sessions that didn’t have us on the same page so we stopped training and went outside for a run instead. Ti took off chasing birds with Josie at his heels, I called and she pealed off him and came running back to me. How quickly which arm to use in a threadle doesn’t matter ya know? Extra cookies for Josie.
I think the hardest part was pushing out to jump #5 at the beginning. I need to remember to use my words on the digdig’s. Has way more meaning than easy, LOL!!
I played around with the BC at the end and should have done that first cuz that was my reminder to reach across my body.
Ok so that last serp sequence was HARD though the hardest part was sending out to that jump after the tunnel to get back up the line. Pretty psyched we were able to muddle thru it.
I pretty much gave you our whole serp session. I wanted you to see how I broke it down when she struggled. Overall I thought she did really well and the few times it clicked, she smoked me!
Why is it so hard to turn on time? I want to just run straight lines so I don’t keep making her slip. When I did the FC wraps I felt better with my timing if I put her in the tunnel first and ran into it. When I just left her in a stay at the first jump I struggled. Her first rep on the 2nd video made me giggle.
I finally remembered at the end I should be “running” to reward, LOL!!
I need to do the other side too, but I thought she did a good job driving straight and then looking towards me for the slight turn.Doing my happy dance today, cue’d so early I pulled her off a jump😛 https://youtu.be/r2YDQh0l5C8
