Working on more excitement (sounds vaguely hysterical, lol), more speed, more decel in our wrap sequences.
So I am trying to be turned by the time she is coming out of the tunnel… but I do not seem to have time for a send step to #5. It is not looking good. I was getting excited at the bar staying up till I realised she wasn’t doing the middle jump, lol.
My cues seem a little late and I am not sure I should be jogging in a circle but I kind of need to go to the middle jump of the pinwheel to work in the decel and turn bit…and as for the verbal cues [oh my]
Sequence 3 proved to be quite a challenge with bars. The “shhh” cue is her collection cue – coupled with my body movement, caused the 1st bar of the pinwheel to drop. I think. So I went to the “right cue”, less body motion… I also added more connection on the middle jump. I have been told she is training me to stand still on course because she does find me distracting so I try and keep my handling quiet (not the cues). Not sure if more timely cues would have helped…although some of these look a little late
This was such a fun exercise. Maisy is fast, lol, I am sure you hear that a lot. I am often not where I need to be in time…
Sequence 1: I had no doubt she could run this on remote control. WOO? – I reckon she was locked on to the tunnel from takeoff on jump 1…I gave (or tried to) give the tunnel cue as she landed off 1. Go go go landing off 2. Coupled with connection and forward motion after the break cue.
Sequence 2: I was fascinated that I could actually call her off the tunnel by turning my shoulder early and giving the “right” jump cue over the 2nd jump in our 2nd try. Wow. After a break to reload and think, I figured the “right” cue was ok landing off jump 2, with stronger connection out of the tunnel and some forward motion to avoid the bobble towards the “go” jump. Otherwise the right cue meant turn right after jump 2 which she did. Also forgot jump 5, oops.
so will course designer scale course maps to fit your backyard? (mine is 68′ x 30′ with part of that being 40′ x 43′)?

Thank you for the explanation above.
In week 2, timing and connection game, what are you actually saying and where? I can hear the ‘tunnel’ cue, do you have a ‘jump’ cue? or di you use “go” for the jump after the tunnel? and landing off that jump, do you use left or right for heading to the middle jump? It seems to me that if you do, they should rightfully be taking the jump on the same plane as the one they have just taken (and back into the tunnel without the middle jump). Or do you use right and left on the middle jump only?
I apologise I have not had time to watch the live (it was at midnight my time, lol).
Cannot help but feel she has it down pat, me not so much, lol. We had a few sessions on sends + connection and extended the distance on the pinwheel.
Thanks for all the input! it has been brilliant. We will see you with Sassy in #3 and Maisy is doing the Camp.
She was mightily unimpressed with the wet grass – it’s been raining for 2 days so the lawn is pretty sodden.
This was our third session on the lateral send and is a bit hit and miss still. I think it will probably be an important skill in its application on course for us so we will keep practising. I cut out a lot of stay rewards. The stays are mostly good.
