Thanks for this feedback and analysis! I have used off arm in the past and just didn’t think about for her. I tried it today and it did work well.

Now, I have to tell you that I HATE blinds. I cannot do them. I have a mental block and I am scared to try them in real life.

But I did make some attempts. We failed a lot. The last clip here was actually our first try and it was our best attempt. It went downhill from there.

Great suggestion about the start line. I did work on that and will continue to do so. Just didn’t include any of that in the video.

I spread the jumps out. I don’t have a ton of room in my odd shaped yard. The tunnel is still slightly offset and she did have some issues with that on some of the reps.

We worked on timing and connection and started working the wrap exercises.

I admit that I have always struggled with connection. It is especially hard for me when running a whole course at full speed. So this is something I know I need to work on.

Here is a little bit of plank work. My plank is pretty small. 😒. So turning on it probably isn’t as productive as it would be on a normal size plank.

Thanks for your thoughts on plank and teeter work. I am currently not emotionally committed enough to agility to justify buying a teeter. I have lost some of my passion for agility over the last couple of years. Trying to find my joy and motivation again.

I moved the middle jump out twice in this sequence and I don’t think she had any issues with that. You might see something I don’t.

Thanks! She is a very fun, happy and enthusiastic girl.

I did notice her zig zag on that tunnel approach and she did it more than once. I’m a little concerned we are also developing some weakness with “dog on right.” I try to make sure I always work both sides. But some of my obedience background bleeds through and I am more comfortable and confident with dog on left. Something I need to work on.

I have 2 questions on Mountain Climber and Plank work.

What do you suggest if we don’t have a way to start with one end on the ground and one in the air? I know this would be the ideal way to get a fast, confident teeter. So maybe I need to invest in the teeter trainer? I don’t own a teeter but have access to one.

On the plank exercise, what if we have already introduced the 2o2o end behavior?

We started with the Lazy Game Parts 2 and 3. I am not the best with filming or editing so I started small. Not sure if I am doing any of this correctly. Hoping that the link works.
