After our fun live session yesterday, we worked on another session of Package 10 Minny Pinnys left and right
Here is a video of our session today. Kurt’s comment was that I should be leaving sooner.
Krush and I have been working on the threadle wrap cue without movement for a couple of days. Today we added movement and a second barrel.
Here is a video of Krush and I working on the Tunnel Threadle Double Whammy Game. We’re still using a short tunnel. Should I start using a longer one?
Krush and I worked on backside slices today.
I’ve been working on sits and tossing the treat back to him. I incorporated this into the session. Also, I did I lot of tug in between each rep so this is the abbreviated version of the session.
Krush and I worked on parallel path again this evening with some running and leaving early after throwing the treat.
Our SC adventure has been so much fun! Krush and I are both enjoying the cooler temps here and being outdoors. We’re especially enjoying our morning and evening walks on the farm. I could used to this.
We worked a few Max Pup exercises this morning before hitting the road back to home.
In the video below I added jogging and parallel distance to the parallel path exercise.
Here is a video of Krush and I working on Parallel Path from Package 5. We’ve done this once at home. We did this today at our Airbnb in South Carolina, a new environment. https://youtu.be/grRUKZF_9Wk?is=6wvL9SNj6dyxFuuj
We managed to squeeze in a session tonight while the weather was a cool 85 degrees, felt like 90. Once again Kool was a trooper with the heat. He’s run faster when it’s cooler, but I was happy to see his enthusiasm. Here are the Package 2 Challenge 2 Sequences. https://share.icloud.com/photos/04dbaMrQ_3qfh4o0d0-qym3gw
Kool and I attended an agility seminar in Dallas, TX this past weekend. He’s been away from agility classes, trials and seminars (except for Brain Camp this past December) for about ten months. We worked on mat relaxation, set ups seeing other dogs, target stick and my agility skills 🙂 The comment that I heard from Meagan Skelton, was that he was so improved since last year. He had resilience and confidence that I haven’t seen before. Here is a video of one of our sessions during the seminar. https://youtu.be/ySeEZjLbuTk
To complete the stress cycle after the seminar, we took a sniff walk on a long-line in a park without distractions and then did a little nose work. Then, he had a nice big stuffed kong and chew before he crashed for the evening. I can really see the work put in so far is starting to pay off. I know we still have a ways to go. But, I’m overjoyed at how happy he was at this event.We are planning on taking the relaxation work in the crate on the road, to a local park, this week. Also, we will be doing dog T.V., relaxing in the crate, in the back of the car.
Here is video of some work this week with Kool on the Target Stick, Treat Retreat (after the table and the A-Frame) on the course. Also, my friend did some Judge like behavior. We’ll add more pressure next time. After we did this, I had him run the course with no pressure on it to make it fun. https://youtu.be/d5BAqWyxs3g
Working on Mat Relaxation with Kool in his crate at our agility field. I added some music and my motion outside the crate to see if he could still remain calm and in the crate. I felt is went well. Dr. Haug thought it looked good and suggested I use the same noise (music) in all of the other locations we start taking this to. https://youtu.be/gQY2B01ySFc
Kool & I worked on the Target Stick behavior again with my friend and then we moved to Kool & I running some sequences and my friend sat behind a blind and appeared when Kool was running in her direction. Kool only looked at Susan a couple of the times and proceeded on to complete the sequences. In the past, he would have either alert barked or would have slowed down due to the distraction. https://youtu.be/S3YBpwvUBw4
Here are the videos via YouTube:

We worked some more on the Week 2 Handling Challenge 3 and I added speed to the sequences. Also, I set the wing and first jump a few feet further away. The threadle wrap is most definitely our weakest of the six sequences. We’ll be working this handling skill away from these drills over the weekend. https://share.icloud.com/photos/0a8mPsVi3LD6wilaUwpzbVkhg
Here is more work on Week 2 Handling Challenge 4. We moved the wing further back today. I tried to speed it up, but I couldn’t get far away from the jump for him to take the backside. https://share.icloud.com/photos/0b4x49oEvgnU-tDBRi1llBFwg
The tunnel, however, he will take in a heartbeat. I plan on working the backside separately.
