Hello!
Here is our first session of downhill to ground. He seemed happy about it!
Elevator:
Cooking with Lennan:
Target fading! Normal target, smaller target, tiny target, no target.
Thanks so much!
I can for sure make a compilation of “cooking with Lennan”!
I’m not the least bit concerned about him getting fat. I’ve been monitoring and we’re good so far. Also, he certainly doesn’t overconsume food in general, lol.Thanks for the mechanics notes! I didn’t even realize I was consistently reaching into my pocket as he was moving. He’s definitely allowed to move if I say catch and either one of us misses. I will just call him to me afterwards when that happens to prevent the backing up in that scenario.
Barking dogs are a big distraction, but more if they are dogs he doesn’t know well. I think the neighbours may help.
One question about the downhill to ground. I should reduce the tip at first as shown in the instruction video, then increase the tip again and then move to the uphill/downhill?
Hello!
Here is our work this week on downhill with more tip.
Uphill we’ve been working on adding a bit more tip as he has seemed happy. He is loving his ice cream cones and seems happy with the two hits as well!
(We forgot the intro on this one. He had strawberry ice cream, French vanilla ice cream, and topped with a blueberry!)Meeting up in the future to maybe train dogs but definitely eat ice cream sounds perfect. Haha!
Bang Game:
Forgot to add the cone this time but there were no dogs barking so it went well.
Added cone to this one.
Plank training:
First time on elevator:
First time on rebound:
I’m so glad you mentioned his tail! I used to say to Jen when we would take him on walks that I knew exactly how he was feeling about things by his tail. Here is our next session with same height.
Uphill:
Bang Game:
Moving ahead may have been too difficult. We were also dealing with a neighbour dog barking distraction.
Wobble board targeting:
Haha, I can’t imagine why you might have been thinking about ice cream! Lennan says he approves of your choice.
I’m not sure why the last video didn’t work, settings all look correct. Trying the link again here. This is about the same tip he has done before with this game, but first time outside with it.
Hahaha, as Lennan slurped his ice cream it started dripping onto the holder’s hand. I hadn’t anticipated that, lol. Oops. It’s ok, she would still do it again.
Thank-you for the suggestions for the bang game. Will work on that next time. Yes, that one was his first on the teeter. I was very happy.
Teeter uphill today with elaborate reward. We tried two hits today.
Plank training today.
Downhill training. https://youtu.be/2b144O–QlY
Thank-you!
Haha, there is a huge chance that I got my ice cream later. However, seeing Lennan’s delight about the ice cream cone is pretty reinforcing for me in the moment.
The ice cream came on a trip for our latest session, sprinkles and all. https://youtu.be/4O3jVmP1X5IHere is our bang game session with small tip on teeter. https://youtu.be/O76lghh-DL8
Hello,
Here is another wobble board session. https://youtu.be/xuC-DbDs0uY
I’m not exactly sure by rewarding forward if you were meaning to release to the reward ahead without rewarding to the target, but I did some of that.More plank targeting. https://youtu.be/ZbFVm9bDtKk
Plank targeting, first time outside. The toy got very exciting. https://youtu.be/f6oyaP53BME
Uphill teeter one-hit session, a compilation over the last 3 days.
Do you think he can try the bang game on the teeter (small tip) yet?
Glad that you are feeling better!
Here is another session of targeting with the wobble board. Not outside yet due to darkness when I was able to train with him, but definitely more excitement.
I hope your reaction doesn’t last too long! Great that you’ve been able to get the vaccine though.
Sounds good on the teeter outside. Hopefully training tomorrow so will let you know how it goes.
We did some target training with the wobble board last night.
Apparently I misread your note about the fit bone under the plank and thought it was the end with the target so that’s how we trained it last night. Oops. Haha. Lennan seemed happy with it though. Will try with it at the correct end next time.
Thanks so much!
When we work the teeter outside with very little tip, should this still be a one-hit wonder?
Also, turns out our lockdown is a full lockdown except for the things that aren’t locked down and everyone is on stay at home orders except when you don’t have to stay home. Dog training happens to be one thing that is permitted to continue so we will still be able to train where we were working in the barn. That equipment is moving outside this weekend though, so next time Lennan sees that teeter, it will be outside.Hello,
Here is another one-hit teeter with slightly more tip again. Also, the picture at the end of this video is from one day Lennan didn’t think we were starting the session quickly enough. Lol. https://youtu.be/pwnubsG2h0sMore plank training.
Thank-you!
Cheese is definitely “the thing” for Lennan. I used cooked chicken at the session on Sunday and he was into it, but when I opened the cheese last night he was bouncing! Lol! I will keep switching it up a bit though if only to make sure the cheese stays exciting.I should have probably mentioned as apparently that part didn’t make it onto the video, every repetition on the plank after the time he had trouble with the toy also included toy play beforehand but I placed the toy farther away after the play so that it wasn’t as tempting. He was certainly still excited about the toy though and was able to follow through as long as the toy wasn’t so close.
Thank-you!
Yes, the uphill was a one-hit wonder session.
Here is another with slightly more tip on this teeter. https://youtu.be/iqbu8AjyN7wThis is where our targeting with plank is at the moment. He seems to be quite happy with it!
