Hi Tracy!
So we tried the backing up and some basic rear cross stuffs. I think the rear cross went decent but the backing up was an epic fail. I tried twice more with no video but same result lol. I know it’s me but please help!!!Hello!!
Thank you for the reminder of the break arm!! It did help her some! We got 2 outta 3 the next day ! Ripple was completely unphased by the environment from what I could tell. She was able to tug, eat, and do a few very simple commands. Her tail was wagging and she was eager to meet everyone, sometimes too eager lol.
Today we went to the barn and did the clicker stay and the tuggie stay. That’s gonna be awhile lol. Then I did some tunnel stuff too.Hello!!! That’s interesting about the physical side of things with her bee things and resilience and stuff. She did great today! However the video will give you motion sickness because it was like trying to film a bee on a string lol.
As for Mae, Huck and I? Not our day. We went 0-6. Hucky had a weave brain fart all day no biggie probably a team effort but the courses are getting harder and harder for a big girl like Mae. So glad I went back to giving Flyball another chance cuz she loves it so much. Here’s wild thing walking in to the trial –Morning!
Well that makes me happy lol! I very rarely told I am too quick in anything 😂
I will definitely try that! Yesterday we tried turn and burn and I think she liked it!! Today I am finally taking her to an agility trial to start some resilience work since she’s all bee free. Will try to get video!
Hi Tracy!
I’m sorry I missed you at CanAm! Lord it was beastly hot this year.
Finally back in rhythm with Ripple.
We did wing work and then tried the blind cross decel game. Wing work I think is good. The blind cross game she kept going behind me if I turned to the right, all her reps to the left were perfect. The video I sent has mainly rights so you could tell me what to do. I will keep plugging away at games and trying to catch up though I’m not sure I can at this point.
Hi Tracy!
Between CanAm, trips to Tarrytown and Wine Country I’ve gotten way behind I think. Can you tell me where I should pick it back up? I’m a little overwhelmed so I’m not picking any games which doesn’t help !Hello!
Back from white plains and round three of venom injections! This morning we tried the SSC part 2 and goat tricks part 2! I used a fit paws disc, I think she actually did better? I rushed the wrapping the cone too much I think. Her focus forward was good though I thought?Hi Tracy!
Would a blanket be ok for her to do the shaping on ? I think she would fit fine on that!
We started the SSR game today. I used a little pumpkin basket but she had zero interest so I will have to try something else I think.Hello!
Today we worked on the wing wrap foundations and the baby goat tricks. She definitely wanted to play tuggies more then do shaping lolol.But we got there eventually! She loved the food in the bowl game of course 😂 All self respecting gsp’s love their food!!Hello!
We tried the decel game this morning and also a repeat session of the prop send which I think went a lot better. She’s very bouncy on the turns for decel lol I’m guessing that’s cuz I’m late to show her!?Morning!
Thanks for the feedback! I tried standing up and it went much better! We practiced the focus forward and send to prop game today. My mechanics on the send game were off I think. I caught myself looking forward a bunch and a couple times I had her lined up sideways lol. But I do think we both got the hang of it by the end!
She loves to tug toys so that one wasn’t too bad!She’s getting there. We have 4 more weekly trips to white plains then monthly for a year. It’s about 4.5 hours each way. But anyway she is also very smart and confident and crazy lol! Very different than Mae! Here’s our first pre game stuff:
Hi Tracy!
We tried the focus forward warm up
Today and I think I discovered I don’t have it lol. I was able to cue the jump ok but I don’t think either of them really looked to the jump with out me stepping towards it and flinging my arm a bit. They are both very handler focused as a general rule I think.Hi Tracy!
I went back to try the blind on the take off side like you suggested. Once I showed Mae what we were doing she loved it (imagine that!) I felt like I got more independence on the obstacles out of Huck but I still couldn’t quite get the timing right on that blind.
The wrap into the tunnel felt very awkward to me like I was in their way. A little bit easier with Huck I think cuz he doesn’t need so much jumping room.
Let me know what you think!!!Hi Tracy!
I am just starting to work on week 2, there’s a lot of material here and I don’t want to rush through it so I’ll probably be on this for awhile if that’s ok.
For Mae, I was very late on my FC but got it done. What can I do to get some more time to be earlier? Def felt better doing the landing side.Also, Tina mentioned she often drops bars when there aren’t wings and she did do this here. Dont know if it the heat, my handling or other?
On Hucks turn I ran into the same problem sending him right into the tunnel. Is this a training issue where he needs a little more independence on his obstacles? Also I see in the video my arms are flinging around.
I only ran them those two times because it was hot again today, let me know what you think!
