I would not fly her in the dark red bag. I have 40 or so crates I did not use but this was fun!

[dlbannasch]

Good evening! I am really having fun with the crate games 😉

Planning on using this to shape jumping into progressing smaller crates for her upcoming flight!

Re flyball I don’t enjoy barking dogs. So not really the sport for me. Yes the stinker who pounds on my like I am a flyball board would love it…

Poured rain all weekend I did some of my best work in this video! Amazing how I limited reps in the rain.

Ok improved the crate game with everything closer. Also tried the bigger crate with a comfortable pad so she offered lying down. Did the ball to hand too.

Good evening!
Sorry for the long video but I had to show the entire crate game. I was pretty happy with how that went. She was sleepy for the Matt. So my timing was better. Still not sure she knows which feet matter.

Thanks for the feedback! I finally understood where to deposit the toy for the wrap slice! I put the target on some blocks. Seeing her jump makes me nervous since I have not been able to get her mother to understand “ running contacts” mean no jumping!🤣

I also show some awesome stays and sends.

Tracey- Thanks for the feedback.
I use the moving release/reward with her mother because she knows me too well 😏 so I had already started that with the Taq. Just did not have room. I used catch at least equal to forward releases on the Cato board. I know I need to transition off it but I’m cold wet grass it is so useful. Wondered what you thought of the mat training? Last time with this you wanted her to move away from me across the mat with the magic cookie box. I wanted to revisit the hind foot target before I did that. She makes so few mistakes I am
Not sure she knows what I am clicking for.

I could not video it but she offered circling the iPhone tripod base😁

Still need to do flyball recalls. Got to get some help for that.

Weekend of agility with important life skills! Pooping on leash- best pooper ever A+. Sleeping in bed B. Settling is challenging but super morning behavior!
Flight bag for 1 hour drive. B+ still not as relaxed as I hope for plan- super short drives. On the way home she was in a crate. Crated at trial instead of expen- A+. Stay games at trial A, greeting all strangers with exuberance, wags, and dirty feet on them A+ able to refocus to me easily.

I did an unrecorded fine my face in the RV. I show find my face round 2 and sit stay challenge with toys and food. On one find my face she sat watching me- not sure if I handled that well. We will do a session outside later. Maybe she thought I was going out the door??

Love the recall games this week and find my face. So very clever!!! The stay challenge is just mean- Taq says. More Barrels is what she wants always! Baby steps.

We took a training day off. We may finally be getting the tunnel
Threadles.

I tried to hold still on threadle slice vs serp. I also tried to stick to my lines on the backside slice. She loved the new games!

[dlbannasch]

iPhone sadly hates google.

I am
Not sure if I am cuing the backside slice correctly. Sometimes I felt like I was pushing the line too hard.

I switched to the bump and could not leave a toy on the ground so went back to manners minder for the threadles and serps.

Anything with a barrel in it and she is all in. I did a session with dropped food and the dropped toy and then just sent. On one rep she took off to do the wrap so quickly I barely got to the other side. I sense that my obstacle focused dog is here!

[dlbannasch]

This was a crazy awesome day. It had poured rain so I did not think I could do a cookie toss so I grabbed the Cato
Board and thought I would try a sit. Wow what a good puppy!

[dlbannasch]

Good morning! I tried the head turn again sitting. She is so quick I am not sure I was marking it as well as I could have. We also had a bit of daylight to do serp/threadle.

[dlbannasch]

Here are more stats and remote reinforcement beginnings. She did really well with the remote R! Yeah.

And our first 2 attempts at the head turns

[dlbannasch]

Another question- on the remote reinforcement- two words or 1 for both play and toys? My word is corny. I use Cookies in a sing-song voice for my competition dog after her run, and we go to a stash, so this is already part of my vocab. But I will feel dumb saying cookies as we get a toy stash. Let’s Go is my cue to trot on a show lead ingrained over 45 years.
