This was tough! I cannot even imagine trying to get a blind in here with the BCs. I have been practising because it’s all down to my handling and footwork I realise. And connection, lol, always! So far only just the beginnings of a diamond.
Worked on Find the Jump today…not sure about my connection. Jump is 10″. She was slow getting warmed up so sometimes we were not doing wraps at the beginning.
I angled the jump a little (but forgot to change when we changed sides)…started with the MM closer to the wing on the line and moved it out gradually and the session was more successful – our second one today. https://youtu.be/C1MH-QsSokM
Found the serps and sends tough – this is our second session and it was pretty identical to the first a couple of days ago. I am not sure if my shoulders are sufficiently turned? I try but not sure I am doing it well enough. On her right side – she bypasses the face of the jump so I put the MM behind the wing and move it out little by little but when I tried again after a couple of minutes – same result. I find myself moving away from the face of the jump more to pull her through on the right. Looking forward to your thoughts.
Left-right minny pinny – I think left was easier for her: https://youtu.be/37JLsZV9_C0
And a bit of zigzag fun: https://youtu.be/EOCmlhErN-g
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.
