Here is the same RYG sequences with Emmie. We handled 1b two different ways. We threadled the first rep then pushed to backside on the second rep. I just wanted to see how a threadle would work in that situation.
Here is Week 3 RYG Sequences 1a, 1b with Kippy. We struggled the first couple of times with 1-5 with the first sequence. Second sequence was easier for us since we sent to the backside the first time.
Here is Kippy doing RYG Week 2 Part 2. In the last rep he was looking for his ball out of the last tunnel. So I brought him back into the sequence to finish it.
We did the Flyball restrained recalls. My husband accidentally moved out of view for the third rep but it was the same thing. The camera angle wasn’t great to see the retrieve back but it was the fastest she’s ever done. That was fun to watch.
Minny Pinny advanced level. Tried to add in what you said above as well in this session.
<For the verbals: gently hold her collar, start saying the verbal… then let her go to start the turn.
And you can also let her start and you can stand still (no shoulder help to go around the minny pinny).>
Here is the threadle double whammy. She did really well in this. I don’t know if she really knows the difference in the two different cues (still learning how she learns) or if she just takes the tunnel again because it’s there 😅
Here is RYG Week 2 Part 1.
Kippy: We struggled with Sequence 4a pushing back out to the jump after wrapping. I had a few failures on this (didn’t put all in video). So broke it down. Sequence 4b, we got the switch away and went back out to the jump. He grabbed his toy before taking the tunnel but he got the hard parts. Honestly – I don’t really have a rear cross with him. I have to be absolutely perfect to execute if it’s not on the flat. He does have a very good switch on the flat though – so the turn was late after he landed but he went out and got the jump afterwards.
Emmie: We had a hard time on Sequence 4b with the switch away. I was using her wrap cue “dig” and I thought we could easily get it but obviously my verbal did not override my poor timing/body positioning. Then she got hot so we didn’t try anymore.
Happy stays with food and then toys. I noticed when I watched back that she had her butt up in one of the toy reps – bad me for not staying connected but at least she didn’t break lol.
I would have preferred to do this outside but it was thundering out. I would have moved to the advanced level but we can do another session. My soft turn cues are going to be “swing” to the right and “turn” to the left. First time I said the wrong verbal (of course lol).
Here we worked on the tunnel threadle. We gradually moved closer to the “obvious” side of the tunnel and added the verbal cue “Look.” I had to wait her out a couple of times when we got close to the obvious side tunnel until she looked at the correct side.
The MM can be used for so many things and I always forget I have it. I will use that the next session. And I’ll have to look for another jump bump somewhere to add the distance.
