This just cracked me up. Ok I know I trained too long. There was toy play in there. Drive to toy around cone was nice. She was not so sure what that big hand out there🤣. The wing wrap- sorry I did not edit. I have one cookie after she went behind me and then she thought ok I just circle the mommy😲
I finally got her unwound by giving 2 cookies for the direction she did not want to go. I plan to use the laundry basket next time! She was very happy to put her harness on. She would still prefer I focused my hands on dropping cookies and not holding the harness.

Harness worked great!!! She is playing much better.

Tracy-
Always right! Played first to make sure that I made the right long toy and she wanted to play in the toy play area. Then we did forward focus. She offered to get on the plank off camera rather than be restrained. But she seemed to get better with restraint as we went along!

[dlbannasch]

We added in the stantion on the wing wrap. She loves that game. And then the plank. Literally the first time she has seen one. She is a goat. It is her nickname around the house. She is still less inclined for play outside. Will have to work on that when there is no food.

Ok that Pyrex was not as big as I thought🤣. I was happy with how she went back and forth with the toy. The novel object was textbook!

Still using kibble since I don’t know that she would switch for treats.

Oh gosh posting this for fun. Bad videographer good puppy! I was floppy and all
Over the place but Frankie was like I was born to do blinds!

Don’t ask me why I labeled it rears. 🤣

This is in my rental kitchen. I notice the forward send went really well in here( not recorded) so maybe outside is too much stim. We will use this room more. First attempt at goat. I struggled to identify an object that this vixen has not already climbed on. Omg prop failure. Next session I will put it on silicone. No way she can go to all four in this Orientation. I was really pleased with her willingness to play. I used kibble to decrease the food drive a bit and that seemed to work. At the end I showed our forward focus. I am so thankful to have this puppy. I finally found a house on 30 fenced acres and I am making a big dog room! Probably not on video until max pup 2🤣.

Two bowl drill and I paid more attention to post game love🥰
She is very hungry right now… she loved this game!

[dlbannasch]

We did a morning session on come to hand and turns. She was really good at that!

Then she did a mid day session of pairing treats to birch and then this evening we did forward send to the prop.

The prop was more exciting than me🤣

[dlbannasch]

Thanks Tracy

I did the things😁

Definitely better. I probably need to work on restraint! I may switch to food to get her used to body or collar. I think she will prefer body and then revisit toys. We have been playing the toy switch game a bit. I probably still went too long with this session. I edited the playing but showed you all the restraints.

[dlbannasch]

Forward focus- very important for Farmdogs. This was our first go at it.

[dlbannasch]

Ok some pre game work. This is our third session with the foot target. Obviously I worked very hard to teach her to leap onto it🤣. First time with the nose target. I will sit on the ground next time so I am not looming over her! I am working hard on play in between. She currently believes she is starving so definitely feeling the food. Isn’t she the cutest happy girl?

We had one training session that I did not upload. On this one I put the board on a slant. I sometimes threw forward and most of the time back. When she came off the board twice I thought I should have rewarded more back. I can’t throw the ball directly to her since it is pretty hard and I am
Not good at aiming AND she is not good at catching. I have been tossing it back. Hoping that will work. I was going to work more and increasing my motion with arms and then fade the target.

Sounds like a plan?

We leave Thursday for beauty pageants in Iowa.

Thanks Tracy

Sorry about angry cricket

Tracy

Ok cut the target in half and unfolded the board. I hope this gives the right amount of height. I maybe got carried away on the last couple of reps. She seemed to do better if I used food to counteract the ball throw momentum. Advice on that?

The target has really changed the forward focus!!

It is over 100 so late night mosquito eating us video!

Ok back from MA with yet another adorable Farmie pup!

I worked on the weave pouts with Taq and then show you where we are on the contacts. I used a spa step to work on anticipation and this is the second time to use the fat board. I wanted to use this board to do that contact ex for this class. Not sure if you will think we will be ready for that in the next week. Taq and I are flying to Iowa on the 28th- Sept 2 for some big phoofie dog show stuff.

I was pleased with her drive to the poles on the sequences! She popped the last pole and I am
Choosing to reward rather than fix things. That was the e only one she missed so click treat me!

Thanks for the feed back!

New puppy is Q
