Serp serpety serp serp. I thought I had it split down enough but we still had an error. It was better though. I changed to a left turn and it all fell apart! I was so surprised that she flanked the whole thing since she didn’t do that with the open jump on the right turn. We were fighting the wind and the wing were flying, so I’ll have to revisit this one another day.
The first night we did this she was PERFECT, even on the more advanced pattern. And now…
Set Point. She’s landing equal distance from take-off, but not in the middle. 5.5 feet apart, 6″, 8″, 10″ on second jump.
Serps – still a struggle, but better. I moved the toy and rotated the jump a bit. Should the toy be in line with where the jump bar would be if the jump was flat?
We struggled here. She was slightly better outside. If I put the toy on the ground, she’d bypass the jump and go for the toy. If I held the toy, she would pause before the bar.
Set point: 5.5 feet
1. Stationary toy x2
2. Moving toy x2
3. 8″ bar, moving toy x2
More tunnel turns and GO. HOW DO YOU MAKE IT GO STRAIGHT?!? Was it the fence? She could rocket out to a placed toy, but I couldn’t get her to take the wing on the right side without the toy planted out there.
Hi Tracy, thanks for all of the feedback!
I forgot to post the distances and height of the set Point. Let me know if this changes your advice:
First reps: 5 feet apart, both bars 6″
Changed to 6 feet apart, both bars at 6″
Changed 2nd bar to 10″
If you think the bars should be lower than 6″, I’ll switch to my wing jumps or bumps. Let me know. Thanks!Ok!! That’s great!!! Phew indeed. I had to send both my dogs off with Kyla when they had to be measured since they would behave better for her!
I will review it but I wasn’t going to film it. We’ve done it a lot. The rear jump doesn’t go lower, so I’ll have to get another one. The distance e was 4 feet, then I moved it to 5 feet. We did some of this in the summer at 5 feet, but the reward target point was always stationary and the handler moved. Won’t the moving target change their jumping mechanics?
And your friend is getting a FABULOUS puppy. I’m almost envious. I’ve already considered another one because she’s so great. And also this lady I know keeps getting puppies and trains them to do All The Things and she makes it look easy 😉
Smiley Face National Chamionship….OMG I love it. It should definitely be a thing. What was your take on the barking?
