Hi, Tracy,
Hope that you don’t burn out! Ansewring these videos and doing 8 hours of zoom seminars is a lot of brain power consummed!!!
Here is yesterday’s zig zag after watching the first seminar on Adolescents. Can now appreciate Changtse’s taking moments here and there during our sessions. And also, I wonder whether her sit stays are influenced by her age. Some days, she has solid sits and others, she keeps getting up from her sits. On those sits, I do lots of “catch it!” tosses to perhaps help her.
Watching this Zig Zag video is fun. With the dragging Toy and the 4″ jump ht, she is doing very nice zigs and zags. I love how you have broken this exercise down.Zig Zag Moving Outer Wing 26Nov2022
Serendipitously, measuring the outer wing posts against the WPs in the background, you can see that the outer wings moved a small amount during the session!

Hi, Tracy,
On the Backside Wrap, the motion made it more difficult for Changtse to “Organize” herself on the plank!
I think that I began the shuffle with the wing wrap!! So I can comiserate with her separating out the plank form from the rest of the wrap!Backside Organizers W H’s Motion 25Nov2022

Hi, Tracy,
We are chasing the Dragging Toy! It was difficult to get the toy moving before C took off!
Moved the far wing ~1″ before clip #4. Then C skipped jump #2!!! (Left the jump unchaNGED.)Zig Zag Dragging Toy 23Nov2022
Happy Day tomorrow. (the alarm in the first clip is for turning the bird in the oven! The cookbook
wrote that keeping the 6 lb or under chicken on its side would enable the dark meat to cook until done while the white meat would not get over cooked and dry out!!! So had toturn the bird avry 25 minutes!!
BTW, the white meat is juicy!)
Bet you didn’t plan on getting a cooking lesson!!!Helen
Hi, Tracy,
Again the Backside Organizers with H heading for the intersection of the end of the bar and the Wing!Backside Organizers 22Nov2022
I see what you mean by having Changtse use both of her rear feet to make the jump turn. In this video, you can see both feet working together!

Hi, Tracy,
A different toy from the BROOM for the Zig Zag:Zig Zag 21Nov2022
Note, I love the Rissiliance exercises and info you are providing on the Pup Camp 2022. Am glad that we signed up for this class.

Hi, Tracy,
More Backside Organizing. Although Changtse’s rt rear foot is off the plank in the last 2 clips, #8 & #9, it looks like she is lining herself up for the turn.

Hi, Tracy,
Yesterday, tried to introduce the Toy on the ground for the Zig Zag to keep C’s headlooking down. She keptrunning asround the jumps. did not know what was going on in her thinking. Stopped.
Today, tried again. At first she went around the jumps. Then made the angle narrower and removed the toy. She began to take the jumps. Eventually, we got back to the broom. Have not been able to make any strides with flattening the jump angle. Perhaps, I need to do some basic training of ? before can progreass???Zig Zag w Broom 18Nov2022

Hi, Tracy,
“I’m not sure if the toy will hold her focus as long as food will, so don’t do more than 3 or 4 reps on the first session. Then we can make the angle tighter if she is looking down (or try something else if she is still looking up :))”
What do you mean “make the angle tighter”?
Went to the Back side!

Hi, Tracy,
Changtse was on her game today. She is still looking up at me, but seemed to improve with time:Organizers 3 & 4 9Nov2022
Helen
ps, have you read The Art Of Racing In The Rain?Hi, Tracy,
Worked on the Organizers with Wing aND ADDING a bar and turning to the right. Didn’t notice until watched the video that changtse was only partially sitting so dicided that on the next session, we would return to Organizer #3 and get it with a solid sit.
See that on the turns to the left, she drops her rt foot off the plank. The wing was set so that the line to the left was more difficult as opposed to theright turn around the wing:Returning To Organizers #3 7Nov2022
Helen
Hi, Tracy,
At last, we have a video for you!! For the Zig Zag, Changtse can now sit pretty close to the wing and I can stand “facing the jump” instead of with my back to the bar. The distance from start of first bar to end of 2nd bar has increased from 9′ to 11′.Zig Zag 5Nov2022
Even the MM has become more of a player! (Sprinkled the kibble with parmesian cheese.)

Good Morniung!
We worked on the first 2 sequences yesterday. I went back to max Pup Camp 2021 to begin some of the needed behaviors! There is sooo much there in that camp!
Note, jump #1 should have been set at more of an angle to jump #2!!Seq 1 30Oct2022
Practicing Threadle 30Oct202
Helen
Hi, Tracy,
Loved your zoom seminar today!Please explain the threadle on the tunnel. I am not sure what that is.
The first sequence, jumping at an angle on the first jump, helped me to split the behavior of Changtse’s being parallel to the starting jump for our Zig Zag sessions in the Independent Jumping class. so just worked that part of sequence #1. (Changtse could not sit parallel near the start wing for the zig zag sessions. That is why she was nearer the center of the bar for the zig zag!)

Here is N’s Shadow Handling:
Nuptse’s Shadow Handling 28Oct2022
Nuptse’s biggest problem is freezing in the trial ring. Outside the ring, with treats, he can do tricks no matter where w/r to thering. He cannot play with toys anywhere at a trial! He can play with a specialtoy in the ring during MISC at certain times. He usually is not comfortable doing tricks at the start line.
