i, Tracy,
Thanks for pointing out Changtse’s being too hot. She was playing I thought so didn’t notice what you saw.

Hi, Tracy,

Good Zoom class last night! We practiced the first sequence this AM, but had to stop due to Changtse’s unenthousiastic response with the high temp. She is a cold weather girl! From the video, it looks like I am a little late with my BC. How can I be faster on the 3rd clip where she begins at jmp #1?

Hi, Tracy,

Did the Lead outs very cautiouysly. Did not know what to expect. Waspleasantly surprised that we had no break aways! Now i know why you mentioned not walking thru the uprights at jump #2!!!! At least on the last clip, I honored the H’s path!

Hi, Tracy,
Used your chair set up this AM for the Discrimination Game.
Am showing you the Warm up part, because Changtse gets caught in a loop and I think emphasizes that she understands the 2 words, “Tunnel” ans “Bed” when we actually do the discrimination Game. Because her 2 very first sessins were such a failure, I am extra thrilled with where she is now. (Perhaps, some of the first 2 sessions of choosing the wrond obstacle had to do with being outside where there are more distractions.)

H, Tracy,
Traded in one of my Cataract Lens for a new lens on Monday. Was informed afterward that I should not do any exerting energy enercising for a week!
So had to rearrange my brrain.
The following is our 3rd session on the discrimination game. Was thrilled with it, because the previous ones had toomany wrong choices.

Hi, Tracy,

After doing some R-Spins, I could not do a 90 deg BC to save my life so was unable to moveonto the middle Wing! changtse did well in the heat.

Hi, Tracy,

Back to 4on. Feel that we need some more splitting of the target behavior for 4on.

Hi, Tracy,
Thank you for the sitting up advice. Yes, out of 6 dogs, Tenzing is the only one who can sit up. He is 12 and can still do it. I will not pursue it with changtse unless she offers it!

Your advice to “catch it!” for theopposing motion sit is great.

Here is some winging it stuff. The first clip reveals what no or late cues can do!

Hi,
Here is the 4on on a 10″ wide board vs the previous 12″ wide board. Question: how does the scratching the target eventually play out when there is no target?

Four On Scratching Target 18July2022

since you have been mentioning working on rear end strengthening on the plank, here is what we are working on for Silvia’s Puppy Tricks class; Sitting up, but to do this, silvia is emphasizing getting the rear feet under the butt, and thus, the narrow block. We are making progress since we first began this trick!

Good Afternoon!

Here’s Changtse’s 4on at the moment.

Four On w Foot Taarget 16July2022

With the couunter motion commitment, I cannot stop saying the verbal cue for the first wrap!!! i think that it comes from having the dogs wrap several times concsecutively in Silvia’s training!!! The brain muscle memory. LOL!
Changtse is hot and also, she is tired of doing this configuration. We did it yesterdfay, too.
