Between the trial and 106 temps you will see videos from 5 am!!
At the trial- uki (love uki) Taq had plenty to distract her without the practice ring so I did not use it. She was great traveling. She thought all dogs were there to play the first day. So we just used that to ask if she could play around them or focus on me. Second day in the evening we went to practice jumps and used wings to do a few things. She did great on her stays and the wings, ran to her reward but then schnuffled for dog treats left by herding dogs. I won’t be trialing for awhile but can maybe go with Ginger to a training yard and work on the fun mommy play away from home.
So I tried 2 wings again. I have a question- since it is a 360 wrap I used by backside wrap cue for the first wing. Is that wrong? I realized that I am
Not getting the counter motion as well as I should on that first wing. I think I want to just do those ( l and r) without the next wing. To focus my brain. I needed the break this week!On another note- I disconnected from Cricket in a run and told myself- run her like Tracy is teaching you to run Taq. No surprise that worked! We had a great weekend. I am even starting to love gamblers.

Thanks for the feedback. I am going back to food across the Matt. This is a different Matt than I started with. It is double thick so she could feel it. I warmed her up but maybe she does not w joy touching it? Will play with this.
Thanks for practice ring advice. Yes UKI!!!
Ok for today’s fiasco. Taq wanted me to send you a message asking if we could bypass 3 wing ex since mom failed to do 2 wings! On the plus side puppy was brilliant and mom rewarded the efforts excessively! I need bars to use the right words!
Tracy
Omg worst latent learning ever. I think she was dreaming about the opportunity to leap over the target!!!
So many misses. I finally got the idea of having her super close.
When she was just running back and forth for thrown food she was not jumping. Let me know your thoughts.
The counter motion felt very awkward to me. Well at least the first wrap the second wraps felt good.
Last but not least we are going to a trial with a practice ring. You pay for a weekend of 2 mins max as often as there are no lines.I was thinking about going in and taking her leash off and playing. Then maybe next session sit stays with toy reward and next session maybe a jump tunnel?
Thanks for the help!
Danika and mini roo who seriously got more like Hot sauce…
This was so fun! I must have been late on the back command. So please with her ability to do this!
It was heating up so I added in a few counter motions.
Tracy
She slept on the counter motion and nailed it today! We also started the two jumps. I was so
Pleased she got the rear cross!Thank you for your feed back
Tracy
Ok giving the Mat a rest! These are the forward sends. First one was bad but the. She was great. We also tried the counter motion – I clearly never walk with my dog not leaping on me! I released on get the toy plus others cues should I clean this up? They were all release cues.
Please turn down the vol – mad mom in background. We had 5 mins to train at 100 degrees before sunset so mom was not happy about not being chose.
Tracy
Ok so I continued moving until she jumped and the rears after that worked great! Yeah!
We did more mat work. I tucked the mm behind the wing. She was loping and a bit hoppy.
Tracy!!!
Ok awesome sauce put things in perspective!!! Thank you for that. Your mixie is obviously part kangaroo!
I tried the rear. Omg show me how I screwed up? I was proud of myself on this. She opted in for each rep and I stopped before she opted out.
The mat lesson was so “do what tracy says first… “ excited to have the wing there next time.
Tracy-
Thank you for the detailed feedback. I just have such a hard time doing it while running. Cricket figured out what I meant but I really want to improve my communication skills. I may record some running without Taq first.
I moved to things that would be more successful!
We had a really good mat session last night. This one seemed to confuse her a bit. The hopping terrifies me since her mother had had her dog walk retrained 5 times and I hope to not repeat these mistakes.
I forgot add – thank you for your amazing support and feedback!!!!
And Taq turned 1 year old! Can’t believe we started max puppy at 11 weeks. So many things!!! I never thought we would master the start line!!
Tracy-
I hope your holiday was excellent!
I definitely want to do running contacts with her. I was nervous about raising the board for that reason.
What next steps should I do? She has some mat introduction.
It has been ungodly hot but hoping to get some training in.
Ok well we ran the seq with blinds I was pretty happy but rears?? Suck! I even had a hard time doing this with cricket so obviously or I set it wrong. Hate rears. Want to love them..
I did not do so well the next rounds. It was getting warm so I will try again when the heat is decreasing!
Teeter is a work in progress!
Oh my gosh- so proud of my connection!!!
Can’t wait to do more crosses. These were at 15’ so I assume I should move stuff out to 20’
