We are not doing many. This is actually the first time we have done anything since the last video. I figure once every week or two at this point is plenty.

Thanks!

Maybe I solved my own problem. Does this look OK?

I’m concerned that if I just use a Cato board to teach angle and height I will be encouraging Know Me to hit low since it’s much shorter than the board you are using. I also have a Klimb with traction on it, but it also seems a bit smaller than what you are using. Would this be a problem?

Pasting the link didn’t work either. But I have seen dogs being caught in lanes, so I think I see what you mean. I’ll work on it! Thanks

Here is today’s ball over jump with counter movement. He thought it was so much fun!

Thanks!

I don’t have the PVC thing that looks kind of like a cavaletti. I am sure I can improvise, but also I figure I will eventually need it. Do you have the dimensions so that I can build one? Thanks!

I’m doing it again…
Here’s a video from Know Me in my puppy class pivoting on a perch. Not exactly the same, but I think close enough?

He was still tripping over his own feet when I shot it, he’s a bit more coordinated now (about two weeks later)

We do well because we have a great teacher 🙂

I will add the running away when I can work him at the barn with a little more room this week.

Thanks!

I also realized that sometimes I asked him to grab the tug ‘ting’ or ‘get it’ and sometimes I asked him to drop the ball ‘kitos’, but that did not seem to confuse him. Blah! He does know all those words, but still…

[frankie]

Sorry if I post too many videos… But it’s all new and I am SO worried that I am going to do something wrong 🙂

Here is what we came up with for retrieving over a jump since I try to discourage my dogs from jumping with a tug in their mouth. I found a little notch in my deck that held the ball nicely, since I didn’t want it to roll all over when tossed. I hope that’s OK.

One time he dropped it before I asked him to, I kept it cheerful, but did not let him tug.

[frankie]

Yeah, he’s at the stage of leg growth that when he tries to turn and run at the same time he can’t quite stay upright 😂

We do bendy work on the flat for agility so I’m not too worried about it all coming together

Thanks!

[frankie]

A little more turn work. He’s getting the hang of it, I think!

[frankie]

I’m pretty sure you guys are scheming 😂

[frankie]

I’m new to flyball too. This is a great class!
