And lastly
Blind Cross

I have the long toy. Is this latest repetition looks like anything you want to see?
I am a little bit confused with reward placement.
I can do the Blind cross and I can see on Video that he is switching from one side to another behind me. But how to reward? I did from hand with food. Should I just continue to play with toy and forget the food reward?

HI TRacy, Goat Game with 4 pods:

[PlayAgility]

Tracy, will this count as a goat game practice?

Hi Tracy,
I will start having treats in my hands. He is distracted by it , but will worked through. For Blind cross with toy, he is not going for a toy at this spot. will change a place. He is toy and food driven. I learn that using high value food as string cheese – that you can see in grass – diminish his drive for toy. I am trying to start with toy, but was not successful today. Will try again
THis morning start with toy – no interest.

Ran to another place, start tugging there. Came back to work area- played tug. I learned that lesson with you few years ago.

Blind Cross introduction
Tracy, you picking up on all my imperfections already! I need to focus on puppy coming behind me, look into puppy eyes, seeing him seeing my hand, switch hands, seeing him move to another side and reward! All I do is thinking what hand now?
What hand later? I will practice the switch of the hands automatically and then repeat the drill with puppy! Will be focusing on puppy move and not hands switch!

Prop 1 game
TRacy, you know, what is game reminds me?
When you runnig full speed on a course, come to the wrap,
your motion stop, you are close to the jump,
you looking at the dog, pointing to the jump, saying, jump!
but because you stop and looking at the dog dog stops and you getting Refusal
So important to practice, stop motion, looking at the dog, but asking him to by path you and touch the object ( jump the jump)
So many times we are getting refusal on that – Great practice!

Good morning Tracy! Here is our Drive to Handler attempt. WE had fun!

Morning Tracy, here is our Forward Focus attempt. I was trying my best to look into puppy not the toy, but failed a few times.This is my weakness, I have a hard time watching the dog when I run. Good reminder and practice for me. Will repeat. I try a couple different toys, just to see which he likes the best.

Tracy, thank you so much for your review! I have trained with you before a few years ago with my Corgi. I lean a few things and remember using it! Like to switch to play while training. To teach to switch between food and toy. Looking forward to progress my learning experience with you.
