    Thank you for the feedback!

    To your questions:

    He does clamp the toy and delays giving it back a small percentage of the time. Less than half, more than a quarter.

    I will adjust position on the jump threadles.
    I will also come up with a verbal – post haste!

    I called him Cisco? That is funny. If not for the video proof, I would deny it! šŸ˜‚

    Thank you!

    Tunnel Threadles
    I’ve joined a band called the Yeah, Yeah, Yeahs

    I may have used my threadle hand to ā€˜help’ Bob a little too much initially.
    I also wonder if my verbal cue is a little late.

    Backside Threadles

    Why did he come directly to me through the jump a few times? When SuZie moved him closer it was not an issue. Or could it have been my position?

    And a little Go, Go, Go revisited

    I will work on the cookie toss in our next few lessons. I didn’’t mean to be disagreeable! šŸ˜‚ I was just a) stoked that I was able to get him to do the RC to the right, and b) I figured that getting ā€˜it’ and getting him to allow me to cross behind him was the thing and that I can tweak technique as we go. Tarcus Mopps has got nothing on us!

    Thank you for the comments.

    I will watch the shoulder movement on the threadles. Will move the MM to make it more if a slice.

    Will also try to pay closer attention to the clicking on the double wraps. Timing, clicking, tossing the darn cookie are hard for this guy!

    I beg to differ on the right turn RCs – a little bit. The only way I was able to make those happen from a standstill was by getting him to drive forward the way I did. But that was in the absence of a rear cookie toss, so I’ll try that!! Stay tuned. ;~)

    And thank you for such a quick response!

    Funny thing about being too close on the right RC attempts. We were having difficulty from a distance so we moved up… I did move back – I even paced off 15 feet – and it went much better. (See below.)

    I’m happy with today’s lessons.
    SpongeBob now goes both ways!

    Hi! Here are some double wraps and some more RCs.

    The doublewraps are so hard for me! I left the fails in so you can see….

    The RC to the left is getting better. the right still not so much. I have done the additional drill you showed me – dog in sit and walk around to other side – on both sides but only recorded the ā€˜strong’ side here.

    As I don’t have access to a ladder (we actually have two but they’re not the type we need), I wonder if I measure the distance and height of ladder rungs, whether that might work?

    I did do one set of reps at the lowest height possible. I must not have included it! So many videos! I must have confused myself.

    ā€˜ello!

    And now for something totally different.

    Bob says entering from the middle is dumb, so we only did it once.

    I happen to think these are mostly beautiful. Methinks you may say something about the speed with which Bob doth trot.

    You know you’ve arrived when Tracy gives you a shout out in the video lesson. Hmmm. And you did follow me to drop off a truck once recently…

    Three things here: RCs, Rocking Horse and Advanced Pose, Struck.

    Rears – I have had af heckuva time with any version of this exercise. We had no luck on using the foot target in the early games and attempts at the hallway technique were abysmal. Bob just would not let me cross behind him. He would leave but as soon as he sensed me moving and crossing, he would pain into me.

    But last night this happened! Maybe using my outside arm isn’t ideal but I’m sure I can fade that.

    We were not able to do the same from the opposite side, starting with dog on right.

    Rocking Horse

    I was trying to get him revved up and a few times in the middle of the sequences I was saying ā€˜ready, ready,’ which I know I shouldn’t have done. And my mechanics are pretty janky. Yuch!

    Strike a Pose

    Here’s where we’re at with the toy on the ground. I hadn’t rolled tape initially and there were several runs straight to the toy but on one of these I called him back on course. And on a few of these attempts I could see him trying to decide whether to come to my hand or just grab the toy. But he did good!

    Why did he run behind me a few times?

    Happy New Year, Tracy!!

    Hi! Two videos in one day! What the what? I hope it’s not against the rules. 😊

    Here are some sideways and backwards throwbacks. And maybe a few ar e something in between. He really seems to get it!

    Keith, hanging his head, sys, ā€œI didnn’t think I was telling Bob no.ā€ But after reading your detailed KeithSplanaation, I get it! I will pay closer attention. I certainaly do not want to frustrate SB.

    I will look for the advanced drill.

    Thank you so very much, Tracy!

    PS. I told my boss (Suzie) you said Bob was Fast, Fast, Fast. And she was like, whatever. I think in another year the in-house rivalry will be ON! Lol

    Following up on last week’s class.
    Come for the SpongeBob action. Stay for the Julie cameo with the Mimosa.

    Here is our work on the first tunnel exercise. Watching the video I can see that I am late releasing him.
