Here we initially started with stationary tandem turns and it went great. Adding the tunnel it completely deteriorated. How do I get her to come into me from the tunnel?
Here’s the teeter bang game. We’ve done quite a lot of work on this so we just started from the side. She has a nose touch but if I leave her on there trying to get additional duration/multi nose touches she starts to move her rear leg too. Obviously somehow I paired it altogether but not sure how to get rid of it. I released her faster in this video so I didn’t get the rear leg movement.
We tried the tunnel entries/exits again but only focused on the rear crosses. I made it a smaller set up with a mini tunnel and only the beginning wings just to see if I could get the correct turns out of the tunnel. I have no idea what I was doing wrong. It seemed liked some of the entries to the tunnel from the right wing she shouldn’t have rear crosses but did and then some of them from the left she should have rear crossed but didn’t. I tried it on a longer tunnel with no wings at the end.
I have a couple of quick questions.
1) I saw you are coming to MN in June and I’m really bummed it’s those dates because that’s the Midwest Cup so I won’t be able to make it. Are you planning on coming back sometime this year?
2) Do you know when/if you’ll be opening another Maxpup class for puppies? My friend’s mom just got a puppy and she was wondering about classes.
Here is zig zag jump grid. We really had to play around with the angles to get her to bounce correctly.
This was a very good learning session for me to see what she needs for information. The last few reps were supposed to be rear crosses. I even stopped and tried to review the demo video but I think I was overthinking completely – obviously since I wasn’t even doing a rear cross hahahah! I quit and figured I would get your input instead on how to address those.
Serpentines in sequence was harder for us but still pretty good until we got to the last sequence. I probably sabotaged myself with the distance between jumps and tunnel with all the increased speed but oh well.
Good to see you at the Invitational! And hopefully Contraband is feeling better and on the mend?
Weather hasn’t been great but we snuck in some serpentine work and will play catch up for a bit. I was so happy with this session. We took a break this winter from class material and focused strictly on breaking down serpentines because it was so hard for her when adding any type of motion. It’s definitely paying off. This is just 1 and 2 jump work in this video. Will work on some of the sequencing later. But this 1, 2 jump work used to be really hard for her too.
Hi Tracy – your email that went out about games package 6 said there was a concept transfer of serpentines, but I don’t see that in the course material this week. Was it supposed to be there? Not that I can do much this week since it’s now snowing and raining. Boo.
Here is contact position. We have been working this on/off for the last couple of weeks. We had 2o2o and a target behavior with me sitting in front of her but then that fell apart when I moved positions to sit next to her. So we had to go back and just work 2o2o and have me move positions. This was our first session adding the target back in with my positions moving.
Here is double crosses. This turned out to be pretty impossible for us. I didn’t go in with much confidence that we’d be able to do it and I really struggled trying to imagine the wings as jumps too. I basically just ignored the middle wing and called it day if I could get a timely cross on the first wing wrap to the last wing. LOL
Here’s threadle wraps. We have practiced threadle wraps before but only stationary and definitely not out of a tunnel. For some reason they were much harder on my left. Was also trying not to spin when sending her to tunnel so may have been really late calling her as she went into it.
