Prop Game:
Latent learning always surprises me! Interaction with the prop (jacket) wasn’t clicking with her in the pre-games, but the second I dropped it this week she was good to go. I didn’t realize that I had thrown the jacket out of frame mid-way through, but I suppose that’s what I get for forcing myself to stop looking at the phone.Wrap Shaping:
The first video is not our first session playing this game, but I wanted to include her pauses in the video.
Pt 2 is where things got a little comical. She goes to my left side far more easily than she does my right. The cone isn’t an issue when going to my left, but she has decided it’s much easier to cut behind the cone to go to my right.Resilience Walk:
It seemed that the lack of direction made her more nervous. We’ve done fun walks in the past (at trials, the bike trails, etc) and she is much more confident. She does have a tendency to bark at concerning things that are at a distance (bikes, people, dogs) – so I was impressed that she refrained this time around, though that may have just been lack of confidence. I have a couple other walks planned for this upcoming week, and hopefully she’ll show off her personality a bit more.One thing I observed in general this week is that she prefers to look for direction. With the Wing Wrap Game – she would stop/stare at me, Resilience Walk – hide behind me at loud noises, poke me if I wasn’t moving, etc.
We’ve worked the Drive Forward game a few times, but I’m realizing that my indoor spaces are pretty small for us to get up drive or speed so it all looks lack-luster. Would it be worth trying in the backyard? Or would the risk of distraction outweigh the potential drive/speed?
More videos forthcoming, but I felt I had waited too long to post as it is 😊
Let’s give this another shot! So sorry for the technical difficulties.
What I’ve already learned by recording part of our sessions:
-I need to increase my energy level
-I need more play breaks 🙂
-Im working to find a bigger area to play inMy concerns:
-She’s quick to offer her sit/down and focus on that, and I’m worried that I’m frustrating her by waiting to shape what I’m wanting.Macklynn Pre-Game Foot Target
