Hello! I promise we will do something besides teeters soon lol!

But here is another teeter session. I thought it went well!

Thanks!!

Another teeter video. We struggled a little tonight. I think some of it was me using the word “yes” which is a release word for him, but I think adding motion is going to be difficult for him also. Putting the bowl closer did help a lot with his positioning though!

Thanks!

I tried that tonight! Other people were also training at the field so apologies for the background noise! He did one springboard and seems to be better off my left than my right.

Thank you!

We tried again and I think he did really well!

Thanks!

Okay we tried the side! He curls in so I think I wasn’t fast enough. I also have a treat and train if you think that would help?

Thanks!

Hello!
He still wants to paw the bowl lol but I just went with it and tried to mark the head bob before the paw!

Thanks!

Hello!

We worked on teeters again tonight. I just used a bowl as a target which seemed to work but I think I inadvertently taught him to touch it with his front foot instead of his nose. Should I teach a nose target/chin rest on an object first and then add it to the teeter or is just having the bowl okay?

Here’s the video!

We just did teeters tonight! He’s a good boy and my mechanics were… all over the place lol. I didn’t really know what I wanted and rewarded a lot of things lol. But I think the goal is to reward a 2 on 2 off? So that’s what I ended up going for in the end

Thanks!

So sorry we’ve been traveling some! But we’re back now and did some more teeters and threadle wraps!

Thanks!

[laurarose.cole]

We added the wing wrap and that went well! We haven’t had access to other teeters but we tried the other teeter game!

Thanks!

We spread the wings out and tried some threadle wraps today!

Thank you!

Hello!
We switched to the commitment exercise so I didn’t have to pull the tunnel bags back out lol. My brain struggled a little but he was a good boy!

Thanks!

He did the blind exercise perfectly so we tried fronts tonight! I tried both with the toy in my pocket and in my hands and I don’t think it made a huge difference!
I think I was late every time and he took the bar lol.

Thanks!

Okay we tried again and he was great with the middle jump! But he did struggle with the one on the right. He got there though!

I was curious about how he is working for the toy vs food so I did food yesterday and toy today and I do wonder if the struggle with the last jump is because of the toy?

Thanks!

Hello!

Thank you, those screenshots helped! We did have a perfect rep first try on that the other day but apparently I accidentally deleted the video! So we tried the other direction today.

Thank you!
