I’m all signed up for Max Pup 2. Not sure when I’ll get to start with my second knee surgery Dec 19.
Recovery is going slow but sure. I was finally able to stand long enough to work on some stays.
My timing of markers and movement is a little off (must be the drugs, https://youtu.be/bgVqWYN4oA4?si=rFuUqzIwyvWzb0xYI also wanted to show that we do have retrieval of toys. But he is not great working for them and I don’t mind just using them for play.
I soooooooo missed making the trip to Florida for the US Open.
Thanks for the Adolescence info!!
So I went to my last trial before surgery. Took PoweR along one day and did some remote cookie work in the parking lot.
So I’m in a funk. With double partial knee replacements coming up the pain is making me very short tempered and Cranky. PoweR turned one today and is definitely suffering from teenage brain. I think I need a brain camp video on this particular stage to help me NOT want to kill him. Heavy sigh.
We worked on a little remote reinforcement and pivot.So we worked on more proprioception and threadle wraps. I’m a little biased but these were brilliant!
We worked on some more rocking horse with the side sends. As per his usual, going counterclockwise produced more barking and slower performance. But we did get a rhythm going at one point.
Just an FYI I am going to be getting a partial Knee replacements on my left leg Nov 14 and right leg Dec 19. Yup had to cancel US Open yet again this year. I have no idea what I’ll be able to attempt training wise with PoweR but hoping you will help me modify as best we can.
Also why I didn’t jump on the live one on one 😢.
We did a little training. I’m still struggling with motivation to work with PoweR I think I need more live classes.
Got back from my trip to the Quilt retreat this afternoon. Threw together a short training session. I get to go to an ISC trial Sat with StrykR.
Here is Parallel Path. He is definitely better on my left side.
On the Tunnel I left the whole session so you could see all his antics. He is quite the mountain goat. He finds it harder to find the entrance of the tunnel on my right side from an angle and went around the back of the tunnel a number of times.
Opps was trying so hard to get it all sent while packing. Here is the Tandem Turn video.
I was pretty happy with how he did in all of these videos. I wish my husband understood more so he could drain some stuff while I was gone, but alas all I can maybe get him to work on is the stays.
Got out to do a few of week three skills. I will be leaving in the morning for a week long Quilt retreat with no dogs. So any training PoweR gets will be from my hubby.
Resilience games. Objects were a pink spray bottle and one of his Frisbees

Tandem turns
Handling combos
With these I realized I did not use the “Ready” between reps. I think he would have been better if I had remembered that.
Worked on some of this weeks homework.
Backing up – we have done some in the basement so this was new location.
Turn and Burn. Working on his less preferred direction. Counter Clockwise.
Rear Cross intro. These did not go well. We will keep trying
Our version of a little plankrobatics with 2O2O
Thanks for all the amazing feedback! I’m dog-less this week because I’m at Purdue Veterinary Conference knocking out my CE for my Tech License. I plan to watch all the new videos so I can get some video this coming weekend.
Its weird not traveling with dogs.Since PoweR is 10 months I decided to do a session with multiple games. So this is our entire session with games titled. I was very pleased with how this went. He does not like too many repetitions of and exercise before he wants to do something else. Part of why I did multiple games at once. https://youtu.be/9Y0FQqhkKYQ?si=li8E2iiqZHS5W0Wq
Emotion modulating exercise.
DancR will sometimes play tug with me as a fun game at home but only when she initiates. Once she is done tugging she immediatly settles down on her own. So I’m trying to think of a game to play to practice this. Could we just chuck a lotus ball with treats around for the game? And then go into the settle work? Or should I do a repetitive toss treats on the floor for her to chase? Need some thoughts for the none toy enthusiast.
