Contact foundations motion override: I did this from memory. I think I did it right. Max did very well. I don’t think he would do as well with a toy, but I might try that next just for kicks.
Max and I did the last exercise this am. I thought I would use a small tennis ball, as it seemed easier to throw. Well Max is a bit of a I-don’t-want-to-give-the-toy-back dog. I have not made a big deal and it has gotten much better. At the end of the video I left Max in the ring with his ball and went up to the house put the other dogs in the house got two more toys and some treats. Max would not trade his ball for anything but the ball is boring without a person attached to it. I sat on the grass till he finally came over to me. I gave him a high value treat took the ball and immediately threw it. I did that over and over again till he was exhausted.
Of course, in the house, he gives up his toys perfectly or when he’s on a leash he gives them up perfectly. I might try punching a hole through the ball and put a string on it, but then the squeaker won’t work and let’s face it. The squeaker is a lot of fun. I will do this again using a different toy, but any advice on his I don’t wanna give it up? At home he’s a bit of a resource guarder I usually have one of everything for the dogs, but if he gets bad about resource guarding, then we just put him in his enclosure until he cools off.
This is the looking ahead video. I obviously had issues with throwing the ball and staying on my line. Max of course, was a trooper and did everything perfect in my eyes. I label the video wrong. This is just looking ahead tomorrow. We will do driving ahead.
We struggled with this. I do have the jumps spread out so lots of running. Max was running out of gas at the end (it is still hot and humid in the evenings). I find it difficult to keep my eye on him and look where I am going. Wearing glasses doesn’t help. Looking to the “side” with my eyes, there is no glasses there so just blurry. I will keep working on our timing, Max not a big fan of a lot of repetition.
A woman in my older dogs class sees me run Max once in a while. She’s very impressed with his foundation training so she signed up for Max Pup1!

This is our mountain climbers. Since we are doing your online teeter class, we are at a 9 inch drop on mountain climbers.
Here is our lazy game. I started with food and then switched to his toy. See the energy change at the end he loves his toys.
