Next we repeated Strike a Pose threadle foundation game. This time I moved over a step, as you suggested, and I tried clicking just before she touched the target, although my timing for that wasn’t great – need some more practice…
Repeating Prop Game 4 – this time trying to always use my opposite arm, and keep it low -added a little more lateral distance and speed. We did this on the other side too, but forgot to turn the video on – but it went about the same.
Here is our attempt at Prop Game 4 – teaching the verbal “Out” – starting at baby level, at a stand still. Then adding motion….
We repeated the Rocking Horse game – this time with more distance, and a little more speed. Not sure if I could have left earlier.
Turn and Burn – with more distance and speed. I tried to keep both my arms down more, and I hope they were more “relaxed.” Looking at the video, I can see that I could have left even earlier. I think in the last rep I left the earliest.
Here’s our attempt at the threadle version of Strike a Pose. The toy didn’t work, so I tried it with the Manners Minder – not sure if I was doing this right….
We tried Turn & Burn again – this time I was trying to get more of a turn on the FC, so that she moved further round the barrel.
Then we tried the Rocking Horse games – not sure if I looked like a rocking horse though! I thought she did well -would love to hear your opinion.Then we followed your suggestions for Strike a Pose, and I had her come to the hand target, with the reward already in place. I started with an empty bowl and threw the treat into it. Then I placed the treat in the bowl before we started, then I placed a toy for her – had to switch from regular tug toy to toy on a string.
In the above video we didn’t so great when we included the prop as a foot target. After coming in to my hand and doing the turn, she wasn’t seeing the target.
Here is our attempt at the lap turn and tandem turn. Not sure if I was doing everything correctly, but I thought Yowza did great!
Then we did the Concept Transfer Strike a Pose game pt 2 – for serpentines. I thought this went OK, although she didn’t always hit the target first time. There’s one rep at the end with a toy.
We had fun with the Turn n Burn. I did this holding her collar to start her, but not sure if that was right…..
Also repeated Strike a Pose – not sure if I was focused enough on the target (video in previous post with parallel path).
Then we repeated the Tunnel Game – I only held her collar when I was “revving” her up, but I found it hard to get the toy positioned so that I could grab the string when I threw it from our starting position. this went better when I threw the toy after she had left – then it was easier for me to grab the string. We definitely need to work on toy return – thanks for the tips on that – then we will also work on Strike a Pose with a toy, instead of the treats.
Repeated the parallel path game – this time throwing the treat earlier and further to encourage her to look ahead, rather than looking at me. I thought this went well.
then we repeated the Strike a Pose game – I held the target further out, and I was trying to look at the target, rather than at Yowza – however, I think I was only looking at it when she was approaching it – maybe I should have been more focused on it? (i.e. starting to look at when she was further away).
