I do not have a tunnel threadle verbal- guess I better decide!
Here is the sit. Sorry it is long I wanted you to see her frustration. I guess I went too long.
Ok tried to include all your suggestions. I tried the rear crosses outside!! Yeah 100%!!!
Plus- video tomorrow I believe I have isolated the sit stay!
She was superb at her dog shows. Happy friendly and confident. First time at a dog show, first time out without her crew. So many wonderful good things.
I stopped using my hand on the barrel sends since she was leaping at it. She does that once in this set.
There is no cookie against a wall that can force raw to turn the right way! We are making progress! Also we show first session of commitment to the stantions. It was so windy I tried to do it in the cramped garage. Thanks for your feedback!
Oh my gosh! Super busy week, rain, forgot to start video, I tore her baby k9 during training (tug after barrel sends) on retake to get video, it took me forever to get the rest cross mechanics. She did retrieve her tug nicely. I will try again tomorrow! She also has a baby puppy dog show tomorrow.
Ok will try these things!
Worked on rear crosses and tunnels this afternoon. Still spinning the wrong way on some but we also got some good ones. She seems to think spinning on the prop is fun even on the straightaways.
Thanks for the sit hints. There is an added complication that I am training her for conformation and heavily discourage sitting facing me. I will try the platform and me sitting.
Hoping to get back to prop rear crosses and tunnels at my next meeting break. For now a fixed my feet on strike a pose and used my correct word cues.
Also the legs bumps was hysterical with a toy. Enjoy
I forgot my nose target so no chance to get my feet right this weekend. We had a busy day learning to jump out of the expen. I now have a sit but no commitment to stay- work in progress. I had to turn my back to get it initially. She is pretty literal on the get it and has found her mom’s leaping behavior a bit too fun. I was super pleased with the baby tandem and laps! At least we have rear cross skill. I will try the prop tomorrow.
Thanks for all your feedback.
Sorry this is so long…
Poor Taq has never ever in her life been awarded for a sit facing me. I did not like the rate of reinforcement but also knew she would offer. I wonder if I should try and position her next to me to try it? I am more likely to get it offered. Strike a pose went well. Also showed her amazing toy play and bringing me the tug. She went through a stage of offering to bite my hands to make them tug. Luckily she does not bite hard and it did not work so now she only tries a bit!
Rear crosses- better?
We both love the barrel! Tunnel went well.
Thank Tracy
Question about verbals- so I have right (wrap) and left (turn) side wrap verbals and then ultimately the threadle wrap verbhal (push). We are not threadling yet though right? And when we send, it is dog side arm and leg? Because I did that wrong on the video in rep at 25 sec.
Tried working on the rear crosses. I got a few correct. Better treats for the grass so we will keep working on it. She loves the ready dance.
I am really going to need this skill. Taqs mom only does tight sliced rears and I have to give her verbal encouragement to turn her back on me!
To treat myself we brought out the barrel!
I tried a toy reward with the prop and it did not go well in this space so I went back to click and treat. Front crosses were great but OMG the rear crosses. Hopefully in a large space???
Barrel went great. I had to stay close due to space. So worked well. She loved it!
Thanks Tracy
I will work on all those prop suggestions!
We had some great back up work
Also a blast with the mini course!
Will try and get some prop work at the trial.
Here are parallel lines
And front crosses
I will try the pad further away. Agree on the light bulb about that on the back up.
I need to get better grass treats. Ordered and should arrive on T day. Thank you Amazon?
Have a great holiday!
Click treat Danika. Short session, hands down, super back up! Added in tugging off leg since I can’t work on just one thing🤣
Super awesome off leash hike with lots of check ins. 1 recall and cookies for everyone. I am literally a human Pez- super cute dog name…
Excited to work outside today and tomorrow on some of the new exercises.
