Oops, forgot to post this. Trying for better connection out of the tunnel…https://youtu.be/RYmasM00dfU
Our first smiley face game! I think I need to up my connection game…not sure if this is why she tended to curl into me or if it was brandishing the toy, lol. Might use a more discreet toy next time. And I forgot my “right right”cue because… no reason. https://youtu.be/RKPirEKD2Ws
Hi Tracy, thanks for all the good ideas. We did another session of wind in hair at the witching hour before dinner and she was crazy for her toy. I usually tug with both her and Dream and throw his toy while I play with her – I remember you saying we should introduce distractions early (lol) but for the stay I will definitely clear out the spectators and start on the flat. We did the food pod set point session in the morning and the wind in hair session in the pm…..so I’ll bear in mind the order or take advantage of the witching hour 🥳
Back to being a toy demon this morning (before the food came out). I really need to work on toy throw timing. https://youtu.be/kwOjVLPOucYWe tried set point with the food pod on a lead – which worked fine. I notice I only did 1 side. I edited out a lot of the messing around, dropped treats, searching for treats. I do need to reward behind more. She is finding the stay more difficult. The distance is 1m (39″). The wingless jump is on 2″ Is her jumping different with the toy? this setup? Is it worth persisting with and making it easier (back to non moving toy/moving after release)?
Did a wind in your hair session – yesterday with a toy, today the tug held no interest so back to food pod. Pre-placing was a challenge so I left the pod sitting there and ran and placed the food in it.
Hi Tracy, I took all your advice and we’ve done a few sessions with the toy. She is more interested in food generally but I’d like to keep the toy play alive some. If she gets a cookie, that is pretty much it for the toy. We worked on set point today – first with the one jump putting her in the middle – only one break. Then I filmed this session with the 2 jumps – a little under 3 feet apart. She is 13″approx. Grass was damp so she had a mat. The struggle is real.
We have been working thru the stages for a few days with the long toy. And working on her stay for longer 🙂 There are a few fails – am I going too fast? do I need to go back? https://youtu.be/3fVB0OZewKE
