I dug a metal garbage can out of the snow in the backyard and brought it up on the porch. Perfect wraps! So I’m going to go get another one tomorrow so we can do 2 barrel things.
Here are some baby lap turns that we worked on tonight. Apparently they are hard for her brain and require string cheese and not pet fresh.
Look at us all sexy! We had to work out some bugs but we got the basic pattern. Just need to add distance to her stay. She had a harder time staying on the left side so I rewarded the stay more.
I just showed her the MM this morning in the kitchen.I think we can mark this lesson as Complete. We did it with treats in a bowl and a toy. I cut out parts where she took her toy and left. I tried to do both sides and had to think about it on the last one but I think I remembered wrong and did them all the same way. So much to think about!
I have not introduced her to the manners minder yet outside of it being on top of her xpen to try to feed her when she would see the cats (did’t work lol).
I dug out my uprights and a jump bump (goes back to puppy Letty days) but I haven’t introduced her to the jump yet either. She did see them in class once a month or so ago for a baby grid exposure. She’s doing parallel path for The Thing so I’ll go find the lecture where we add the jump.
Thanks! We’ve been slowly plugging away but not videoing much.
Not pulling up on the tug is helping alot.
Here is some Strike a Pose with food
Is there a PDF for Tunnel Threadle: Verbal Cue and Double Whammy?
Also, Advanced Retrieving: The Reverse Retrieve is loading weird. It loads twice and the top version is reversed coloring. And the video on the bottom under ramp it up show an error.Thanks Tracy! We’re still plugging away and starting to pick up speed. Hopefully we can get caught up before the next class.
Don’t tell the red squirrel but I started parking in the driveway again so I can have room to train in the garage. It’s not perfect but more than in the livingroom.
Here is video of a mix of exercises – focus forward, barrel with more distance, some turn and ‘burn’ with food then toy, decel and turn with toy then food, and then some blinds.
I used string cheese – easy to see and quick to eat.
We’ve been doing parallel sends and I started doing sends to the side.
Training space is hard to come by. Everyone is desperate for it here.
Our toy skills are basically non-existent. It’s been a struggle with her. With food too but that has gotten alot better. Toys have too but so far from where I want to be. We keep making progress. It’s just as a snail’s pace.
At what point should I consider the lesson completed – when we have the Advanced skills down?
Merry Christmas to you and Eric and the dogs! Thanks for all of the great feedback!
We’re still here! Slowly plugging away. Need to take most of this outside (brrrr) so we can have more room.
Here is some backing up, our send to the prop (not our best session of this but I had the camera on so you get to see it – kind of since it moved), and our going around the basket. We’ve done some turn and burn and she likes it but it’s hard to get on camera in the house.
Thanks for the great feedback!!
Finally got more video last night! Then went to dinner with an out of town friend for hours. So making and uploading today.
Here is progression on our wing wrap – I got the upright in and I’m slowly moving back from it
I probably should have just left this with the wing wrap video. I put the bowls up and did a few ‘get it’ cookies and went into nose touches.
Then we did some Focus Forward – after a few she was kind of poopy about coming back – since I already taught her collar grab = look at me, I am using her harness for traditional collar grab focus forward things
Then then we did some toy play
Then some decel tight turn games – this is the first time we have worked on this exercise
Then we did some of the Thing pre-game. She humored me then said she was done and we trained long enough. LOL I might need to find a new Thing since this bag is kind of slippery when she steps on it.
We finally got started!
Here is the start of wing wrap. Can I use a cone for this? We’re doing cone wraps in our in person class and we’re not progressing very quickly so this might help there.
Also, we just worked on an online class where we put control on a dish and did a collar grab to look at us for permission to go to the dish. The send to the dish was on a verbal. So I think that is why she keeps looking at me when I am not putting the food in the dish right away. So I might have to think on this to see if that will conflict with what we are doing there. It’s R+ control games foundations for bitey sport dogs. The setup is different though and I’m not sitting on the floor.
Here is pre-game 2 with some toy play attempt at the end:
I changed mine on the WordPress website since it uses the same service. I noticed it was the same pic when I went there to upload a pic to share with my intro.
