Hi Tracy,
We added some of the new moves that you recommended.
Wrap shaping – I started with the cone and then moved it out a bit. He did great with the cone close to me. He also did good when I moved it out a few inches. As he started to get tired, he would go in between the cone and I occasionally. But I was happy with his first attempt!

Drive to handler with rotation at the end – I thought he did very well given Copper was barking right outside the door.

Toy drive – I used just toys this time around. He LOVES that ball – I had to work a bit to get him to bring it back to me (he was playing chase with it under the camera).
GOAT game – I used two different objects (magazine covered in plastic and a metal sign).
Thoughts appreciated!

Hi Tracy,
Bandit and I worked on a few things this morning!
Toy drive – I dropped some treats towards the end of this session so he was distracted. But I thought he did well overall

We are back! Copper had a trial this weekend – almost qualified several times, but kept jumping his contacts. Alas, another opp to learn from you if there is a course around contacts. Also interested in intermediate distance training classes for Copper.
Back to baby Bandit….
Bandit Wrap Shaping – he did much better with the food today. I found treats that he REALLY likes and now seems to want them more than his toys.

Bandit drive to handlerBandit blind cross shaping – I am a hot mess with directional changes, so you will see me working through which hand should hold the toy. I may have the timing a bit off on when to switch as well. Thoughts appreciated!

Bandit driving ahead with movementBandit Goat game first round – he did good finding and staying on the platform, but doesn’t yet know the “break” command. So he just stayed on the platform because he was getting lots of treats on it!

Good morning Tracy,
Here is Bandit starting some new or more advanced games.
Wrap shaping – I tried first with the two bowls and treats, but he was not highly motivated with the treats I had. So I went to toys, which seems to be his favorite gig. I tried again after this video with better treats, and he started getting the idea.
Drive to handler using treats – you will see his energy level is much lower when I use treats instead of toys. But I think you want us to work with both, so will continue to work with both treats and toys as we progress through the games.
Driving ahead with me moving – this time I used toys, and he was much more motivated! Let me know if I was moving too late?
