Good morning,
This is a combo of 3 games we worked on yesterday.
In the prop game he seemed to have a harder time actually hitting the prop when walking in a straight line. I did reward him a couple of times for effort even though he missed. Is this ok?
When we tuned into the live presentation yesterday, took the opportunity to also practice “maybe you should chill when the mama is not ready to pay attention to you”. Success! Then he was truly exhausted from all the hard work chilling (pic on floor instead of bed), haha, and had to go take a big nap.

We worked on some training last night.
He was ok with food this time for drive to hand with toy distraction and turns.
Thanks so much!
So, Lennan totally impressed me with sit and down with toy on ground! The only reason he was on a lead to start with was because there were some temporary dog distractions nearby and I wasn’t totally sure I trusted him to not go visiting, but he was a good boy and stayed focused on his game.
I’m not sure if the drive to side was correct, although he seemed to do it nicely. Was he supposed to drive in for a treat? I tried that first but he didn’t want the food. He did however think it was fine to drive to my hand and then get released to the toy.
Thanks so much! Sounds like fun additions to toy races. Asking him to sit or down is going to be hard! Lol. We will try! If he’s successful then release and race to toy?
He was in cheese mode with the drive to handler! I ditched the toy partway through because I decided I was happy with him in cheese mode and it was also a little easier for me to remember what I was doing!
Will try to incorporate earlier slowing down and turns. Haha, I definitely knew the timing was off when I received the tooth hug!
I think he can probably do the toy on the ground distraction with the stationary drive to side. Will see what happens!That makes sense on the wing wrapping distance.
I did notice he was faster coming back after the wing. The different reward placement sounds great. Will try that!Also, non-training related question. How can I add a picture to my profile on this site? I can’t figure it out. Thanks!
Good morning,
Here is a video of some of the games we worked on so far.
1. Toy races – he loves this.
2. Decel & turns – I think Lennan was doing ok but I was having a harder time with it.
3. Around a wing – I wanted to see if we could build distance since he knows how to do this one and discovered he apparently still doesn’t like the right turn as much when starting with greater distance. Should I practice my wing wrapping cues with this game, or not?
