Hi Barb!
The first video I submitted was our try at the entries and today I tried again. She is getting hung up at the same spot. I’m not sure how to help her?
This video is today’s try and it’s very similar to our last session.Hi Barb!
So today I started to work the first couple parts of the weaves. Maple really struggled on my right at any position past 7:00. Im a little unsure how to fix it. I did watch my video a couple times and I thought I was in position but maybe not?Hi Tracy!
Today we practiced the very first level of the skill sets with the jump and wing. I love these kinda drills!! We can both learn so much without a ton of setup or jumping effort!!
I don’t think any of those skills are as solid as I thought except for the go. That was pretty good. I felt like I wasn’t getting far enough ahead to set a good line but I couldn’t without running. Was I doing something wrong there?
Thanks!!
Hi Tracy!
Maple and I did plank a robins which I think went fairly well and then the threadles and tandems which was not so good. The mistakes were all on me. I couldn’t get my arm right and I think her tug toy was too big for me to tuck in very well. I’m also not sure I’ve put enough commitment on the wing. Was wondering what you thought about that? Thanks so much for your help! I feel all thumbs trying to run her!Hi Tracy!
Me and Winn had a great training session today. It wasn’t very long but it was a great “conversation” lol! I did the volume dial thing with her and I realized that her ball makes her a whole different girl! I filmed the volume dial and the sequence together and even though I messed up the sequence, she was so much faster and more animated then Monday! I don’t know exactly how to use this info, but it was so nice to see her actually excited to run! So much fun! We never did get the sequences this time but that wasn’t really the thing …. (:
Now how do I use this at a trial?!Hi Tracy!
Winn is finally released so we went over to train a little today. I ran Maple thru some of them too because I didn’t want to do a ton with Winn yet. I’m not sure I did these right but it was fun! Let me know what you think!Hi Tracy!
Me and Mae finally got back to practicing today. I think I did things in order but I’m not sure. I did the mountain climbers with a chute and then I tried the lap turns and tandems. I know I did parts of the lap turns wrong! I had it in my head and watched the video before I left for the barn but my wifi isn’t good there and I think I messed up. Mae was a good girlie though I think!Hi Tracy!
I thought I posted these but I guess I didn’t ! I tried the serp practice and the start line practice today. I’m really happy with the serp stuff because we struggled so much with that in earlier sessions! I’ll try and get some teeter stuff done later this week too.
Let me know if I am doing the start line correctly I don’t want to mess this up this time!!Hi Tracy!
I will definitely play the toy grabbing game with her because she thinks anytime is toy time! Since we are home I worked the wobble board backing up with her. I think you were right that’s exactly what we need to do!Hi Tracy!
Winn is doing so much better! We are still under house arrest but she isn’t limping at all!! X-rays and tick panel all negative. Since she is feeling better I decided to play the instant focus game with her. I wanted something that wasn’t hard or slippery and that I had plenty of if I lost it so I picked an egg carton! We just played in different places in the house for now but it definitely got more confusing to her as we moved around. I think I she thought I lost my marbles when we went to the garage !Hi Tracy!
Yesterday we worked on some plank stuff and some wing work. I think the plank is a little small but it’s the only one I have. We still struggled with the wing stuff too. I tried to be quiet and stay connected but I’m not sure what happened.
I also worked the teeter game where they get on the end and let it hit, I don’t have video it didn’t work but I am struggling!! She doesn’t want to back on to it she runs up it and turns around and runs down. What should I do??
Thanks!Thank you for that feedback I will definitely try some of these ideas for her. I am very interested in keeping up her speed and confidence. Unfortunately this is how we woke up this morning. We have been to Al who did blood work and X-rays. She is thinking muscular so we will do laser and rest.
Morning Tracy!
So this weekend I worked sequence 2 and 3. The video is a compilation of both of them taped as a baseline with the exception of trying two different openings on sequence 3. I wanted to have you look at these before I trained and taped again because honestly the only mistakes I found were mine! In sequence three the first time I didn’t show her 5 as a backside(but I remembered to keep running) and in sequence three both times I kept forgetting that FC before 9! I did notice she seemed very slow our first run but I am not sure why.
Thanks! Let me know what ya think!Hi Tracy!
I love how you explain things lololol! I completely understand “talk less, smile more”. I immediately had to listen to that soundtrack after I read this! I brought Mae to SOTC with me today so we worked on the counter motion thing a little. I think my position was wrong a few times but she did pretty good! And I was really happy with all her tugging with other dogs near by!
Let me know what you think!
