Tandem turns and lap turns we hadn’t done these in a while you needed a little refresher and then he was good as gold. I think on my tandem turns I get turned towards him too much sometimes because I’m using my offside arm, and I think my little armies are short
This was easy for us. I cannot decide if my Fc at the end is late. He has such great obstacle commitment, better than either of my other dogs, who have mommy commitment.
Serpentines, a little struggle. It is hard for me to get to where I need to be in these short fast sequences. Max rules, he is so smart and catches on quick. His work ethic is amazing.
More circle ladder work. My brain was not working so I didn’t do everything correctly and Max was starting to get bored when he doesn’t want to do something. He starts jumping on top of the tunnel or he just bark at me so we kept it shorter and didn’t keep trying to get it, right. I think he’s got the skills. It’s all me.
Circle wrap ladder, one, part one. I am not sure I did this correctly. I was using his left and right wrap cues and not his backside Threadle wrap cue. I might try this again and set it up as jumps because then the directional just make more sense to me. Does it matter? Should I go back and redo it with my backside Threadle wrap cue? It is definitely a skill we have been trying to work on. I don’t know why when I run this. It just seems like regular wraps and not backside wraps.
Counter motion, commitment, part two
I have a harder time working on just the wings. I feel like I do better with a jump for some reason. All the turns on the wings just get muddled in my head. Max would like you to know any errors here it was totally his mother‘s fault
Straight lines 4 ways part two. Max and I had trouble on the push, especially when I’m behind him on the last one I got up more ahead of them. But running big courses I am sometimes behind so I think it’s just him learning his verbal, or us getting more distance as team
Counter motion commitment
I am so bent over! It doesn’t look right…
But I thought we did okay, tight, fast work is not my strength.
Max and I struggled a little bit on the rear crosses. It’s also very wet and like 92% humidity which doesn’t help and he gets wet and it slows him down. I have noticed Max pattern so once he gets in his mind that this means this, he’ll keep doing it until I really can break that somehow. We’re gonna take a break and then hopefully tomorrow or Monday do the rest.
I also had a problem in class. Of a backside throttle where the dog is between you and a jump and he needs to go to the backside and wrap it. I couldn’t really figure out what I was doing with my arms because he was a good 5 feet in front of me. We just had the worst time getting it. I don’t know if you have any tips.
