Frankie and I have been doing fetch lessons, her first dog show! And diving into her crate. We discovered that other puppies smelly treats at class and in the dog show ring may blow her mind a bit.

Here is out beg out command. Since her treat command is get it I think I need to use out. My mechanics took a bit😬
Frankie was awesome!

I showed the threadle wrap too at the end. We did this lesson in the house first.

Tracy- omg puppy and I doing rears!!! This was the best training session ever. I used the light leash so I did not have to bend over!!

The barrels of course I did not hit record so this was a quick redo. The first goes were easy and clean for her.

I ordered a second barrel for the 2 barrel game and we are shaping the retrieves as well.

Frankie was a little hungry star. I forgot to record the strike a pose so I just added a bit for you to see the end product. It took her a hot min but then she was all over that game!

Can’t to move and now my grass super short!

Tracy I used kibble and she was brilliant!!! I was super pleased with this session. I tried to preload the bowl once and that blew her mind so maybe that is for next time. Or we can try a slightly boring toy. I got the prop out to work on the sit and she said I figured what you wanted a couple of days ago lady! She apparently believes the only way to get into a sit is to leap 4 feet into the air. I like how still she was being in the sit and I know it was not the exercise but did some rewards in place because she was holding still. This is going to be very hard for a puppy with a helicopter bottom!

Omg this was a mess! Should I try a less valuable toy? Ps this killed my back too.

We also worked on capturing a sit I did not video- boring since it took 2 mins to get one🤣

We had some dangling canines for the weekend but they were out this evening. The first bit Frankie says- I will chase you but not ready to play with toys after Charlie bears. The second set was baby dog barrels. Should I have give. Her more chance to fail? I had to be pretty close to the barrel to succeed. This was her hard turn. I try to start with that direction.

We go to class on Tuesday so I will try a bone or chew. Another back up session and we did the accelerate decel ex. I see rewatching my videos that I proofed late blinds nicely🤣🤣🤣. Her grandma says get used to it. If mom doesn’t throw in at least one blind that makes the crowd gasp we have not had a good run!

Good girl Frank!

Super excited to haul out a tunnel today!

[dlbannasch]

Tracy- ok we will get that back! Inside the house is obviously not a great surface. Try not to cringe at this video! We did novel exciting and then one of the pattern games to default to a gorgeous stack with eye contact. This evening I took her to my trainers yard and she was able to work with her prop while other dogs were training. Such nice focus for a baby dog. Frankie says crating sucks but working for treats is fun.

[dlbannasch]

Used the prop for back up. It was working well until it started sliding! I thought a Cato would be too big. The bit after I removed it seemed to go well. If only she would wag less🤣

[dlbannasch]

Ok tried to follow your directions! Hands low for the back up. Great turns on the barrel. The send to the prop degenerated into crazy leap fest!!!🤣

[dlbannasch]

The addition of the food bowl worked great. I forgot to press record! So we quick videoed to show you. At the end she declined to have a toy reward with the prop🤣. She is very opinionated!

Then I recorded our next session in the wrong orientation so could not splice them. We did me sitting puppy back up and then tried sends to the prop. Oh my gosh I messed it up so much but in the end I got some nice sends

[dlbannasch]

Turn and burn!

It took some work but I got her to turn to the left. I know I was not always where I should be but I wanted to give her immediate and fun rewards. I cut them out but I rewarded twice as much as working. I also
Sat down to do back up ( not on film ) and she was brilliant.

[dlbannasch]

My puppy is broken! We revisited back up, parallel lines and the wing wraps. At the end we were playing and loving and she circled me!!😲.

[dlbannasch]

Tracy

I hope you had fun at flyball!!! And yes this generation has no accountability.
🙈- I have to show up to lecture in person but the students don’t..

Ok so Franklin was just awesome. We played before and after this session.

This was our first try at this exercise.

[dlbannasch]

More wing wrap training. She still wanted to circle so I set up close to the wall and then we got some nice back and forth! We started back up and that went really well.
