Yes the session I posted with the tunnel was his first time doing it. So we will add some of your suggestions and keep going.
Here is our work on Tandem Turns.
Then Rear on flat work.
And Finally Beg Stay work.
We worked on introduction to the tunnel. I’ve had to work hard on getting him not to be afraid of the MM, but we overcame it. So we used it for this. With kibble in there its not as high value as the beef I usually use.
I let him process through some things and included some for your suggestions.
Been struggling a little getting training time in. I finally got in the right frame of mind to do a few things tonight. I am struggling with him being very focused on my and where the food is coming from. Just keeps wanting to look up obviously my timing. This is definitely going to be a work in progress. On the rear crosses with the prop I struggled a lot with my mechanics.
ViktoR definitely has the same frustration bark as his brother StrykR! While I was watching StrykR wanted to know where that bark was coming from and kept trying to look at my Ipad
So our work on the sending skill is not going so well.
I had started with the yoga block in the trailer but quickly decided it was too tall for this purpose. I switched to a small pillow. I’m struggling with keeping him from being to focused on my hand. We are struggling with this one.
I did do some any toy anywhere at the training center today. He did switch back and forth a little, but he is loosing molars and so it was very light play. It went well considering his teething issues.
As for the wrapping, I have great success with the object close to me but anytime I put some space between myself and the object he just went back and forth just to the dishes. So building distance from the object may take time.Here are the first attempts at Backing Up and Wrapping a larger object. I have to confess that I struggle with using a toy to work and keeping them interested in it. Its just so much easier to use food. So moving to another room or insisting on toy play while shapping or working is tough for me.
We worked on some of the progressions today.
First up unstable objects, I tried to break off to play in the middle and he was having no part of it. I did manage to get engagement with the toy after I put food up higher and was done with this session of shaping.
Plank work
We worked on a few of the games with a little more space than I had in the trailer. 😬
-Focus Forward I started with a short toy which he engaged with at first, but then started to call an uber when I made it dead, so I switched to a toy on a flirt pole.-Deceleration & Turns
Its hard for me to bend over enough that he doesn’t bounce.
– Goat/shaping
I tried to get toy play but he knew there was food and would not engage with the toy at all so this turned into a shaping session.
-Cone Wrap Foundations
Checking in. RydR and I have had to take a break as he has been off loading and sore on his right rear. Appears to be minor muscle strain but we are not doing any repetitive training right now. Sorry to have missed out on feedback, but it is what it is.
Continued to work on progression. In the beginning Of the session I forgot to add in the proofing of arm movement. Finally remembered as the progression went on. Question, When do you work on the other side? Do you stick with one side until you get it pretty well proofed? Or do you work on both sides in different sessions?
Question. In Lesson 1 can you tell me what exactly you are clicking for? Trying to determine if what I hear in the video it sounds like you are clicking when front feet land after taking the jump.
ThxFinally got another session in. Looking forward to seeing if you thought I did a better job snd where to progress from here.
