Week 1 Exercises

I often use the wrong verbal and need to work hard to correct this. This goes for my obstacle cues as well as my reward marker cues. You’ll hear plenty of mistakes in these videos. My verbals are Under Construction right now so are likely to evolve. I know I will have questions on this, but it’s too early right now with anything specific.

For now, here’s my library of verbal obstacle cues…
Wrap Left: Loop Wrap Right: Wrap
Turn Left: Li Turn Right: Twiz
Tunnel: Tunnel Tunnel Threadle: Look

And reward markers…
Take It, I deliver food to dog
Yep, dog moves to me to take food
Get It, I throw the food away from me and dog (sadly, I say “get it” for almost everything)
Catch, I throw food to dog (my new favorite deleivery since he’s getting so good at catching flying cookies)
Chomp, I deliver toy to dog
Tug, dog comes to me to interact with toy
Chase It, dog releases to both stationary toy or chases toy that I drag. I probably need to add a stationary toy marker.

All four exercises, all in their early stages, are shown here. These were great fun and I look forward to working on them again to improve. I give JP tons of credit adapting to my mistakes and oversights while learning.

Thanks. I have started some pattern games to help with the arousal. I’ve also gotten some of the Brain Camps. I’m going through those as time permits. I’ll be doing all that I can to tackle this and might even share an example for advice, if that’s ok.
