Hi Tracy – I have a couple questions. When is the last day of posting for this class? What is the next class in the series and when is that scheduled to open? What topics will be covered? Is it just advancing the topics in this class or is it going to be contacts/weaves or something like that? Just wondering what equipment I will need available to me and if I will need to look for scheduling time in a building now (sadness).
Well it’s been rainy the last week and now the weather has took a turn to the cold. Very sad. Had to put some of my agility equipment away today. Hopefully can get a few more outdoor things done for the next couple of lessons. Here is Mission Transition. Struggled with a few things during this session. She has an upset stomach today so I didn’t want to give her any treats so we had a lot of extra guessing from her. I also had a hard time turning her to her right on the wing. I don’t know if I was putting some pressure/was on her line for a few reps but then she started patterning too. So all my rear crosses I wanted the other day I suddenly have 🤣 when I don’t want them. I decided to give up instead of continuing.
It’s also been raining all day and possibly later this week too so not sure how much training I’ll get to this week. But at least I was able to catch up on my editing of videos because I was behind on that. Here is the get out exercise.
Here’s layering foundations. I have been working the “jump” verbal and I definitely need to use it. So it was a learning curve here to figure out which words to use. I did use the soft turn verbals here on the wing as well. She had trouble going to her left and I think she was also getting a little tired so I’ll go back to that side a different day.
I get so frustrated with these. Here’s concept transfer for rear crosses although it looks like I’m trying to do a bunch of wraps lol. Glad I was rewarding her every time because I kept thinking I was doing it right but then watched the video and nope.
Here is wind in your hair backside wraps. When I rewatched this it looks like I’m blocking the wing a lot.
Here is my nemesis: rear crosses. I’ve always had a really rough time executing these. Today was no exception lol. Please send help. However I thought my execution of the rears to the left looked decent!
<The distance looked good – it was hard to tell if the center-to-center distance on the angled jumps was the same, so be sure the distance doesn’t get accidentally shorten when angling.>
Normally I measure but had to estimate instead because I was leaving to meet my parents for dinner. Next session I’ll make sure.
<replicate the exact same session you had here, but with the bars 2 inches higher. Remind me how old she is? That will help us know how quickly we can raise bars.>
She just turned 11 months.
