    Well fun times. Our vet appt got cancelled and we can’t see a vet until next week.
    Just wanted to check in. I’m afraid to push anything until we see the vet.

    Perfect thanks for the tips! Obedience Competition gives me anxiety but I’d like to fade the wave out. We are taking the night off and giving her a rest. She still has a slight limp if she starts to run. Back to the crate we go.

    Oh yea! Click treat for me. So stays please bring humor. I recently shaped a wave and then taught duration. It’s become her sit. She has some stay training on a mat which gets faded so this is new for us. I wasn’t sure if I should continue marking if she’s waving. Waiting her out didn’t seem to help.

    We also updated sends and decel.

    She’s intermittently hopping on her left rear so we may take a few days off (or more)

    Oh uh Eden is LONGGGG and BIGGGG. At 8.5 months she taller than her dam already and weighs more. More bone and length. I spent some time slowing down some. Our wraps are going well. I can stand up now. Woohoo.

    I taped our sends and blinds. I feel like I’m late on the blinds. Which would be the norm and I didn’t connect after I crossed. But look we Rewarded with a toy!! And she went from food to toy.

    I forgot to change objects. Sometimes my mind feeds faster thinking she’ll go faster!

    We worked on some decel games and then more wraps.

    Haha you should see the vast crazy furry options I have after 3 Vizslas who don’t tug. I tried everything! I will work on less contact and I have a tail on a line that might be that long. If not I’ll add length. The good news is we tried the send game with toys and she was so locked on I couldn’t get her to go back and forth. Sitting in the send game is much less body pressure.

    We worked on sends since it was 100 at 8 pm last night. Background I shaped a left wrap totally around the cone. When I tried to shape 180s she wants to circle. She’ll wrap one way but circle the other. So as soon as I gave an inch she squeezed through.

    Perfect thanks. Here is our session of driving ahead. I’d like to build a bit more high drive for the toy but for my vizslas I’m excited she’s chasing and actually tugging a little. I’m used to tugging with dobes so I may need to change up my handling etc. they kind of hang on no matter what you do.

    Also don’t worry – the 2x2s aren’t for her.

    Can you clarify the video specifics? By game do you mean “week 1 games” or each individual game? Is it 6 minutes per week or per specific game? Thanks

    Your initial post for each game should be approximately 2 minutes long (it can be edited to that length or you can post a complete session). After you get feedback on your video (within 24 hours, unless I post that it might take longer), you can submit up to 4 more minutes of that game. I suggest spreading your time out over multiple sessions. You will find that this is plenty of time to work through the game and be ready for the next level.
