Wing Wrap part 1.

At the end I asked for a jump because we know how Stark likes to pattern. 🤪

[Carol]

Yay to hopefully some Thursday nights!!

[Carol]

Yay!!! Thanks so much. I’ll type this up and share. Now it will look nice and pretty. 😀

Threadle wraps part 3
Today I focused on just the left side because that has proven to be his weaker side.
I added more speed then a tunnel.

More work in threadle wraps
New location

Excellent. I will take a look as I did not see the email come through. But, I am going to look at week 2 this week regardless. hahaa. 🙂

[Carol]

Does a new package start this week?

[Carol]

Also, next week I’ll go back and work on package 2

[Carol]

I went back and worked on our wraps this morning. I felt that his left turns were a little wide but I also feel like I could have but more of a decel Cue on the turn.
We had a harder time with his right turns. I felt it more difficult to get to the line in time. Also he read it had a left turn a couple of times. I went back and watched the videos and I am wondering if it’s because I didn’t turn my shoulder enough for him? I know I was late giving the physical cue once but on the next time he turned wrong I thought that I was okay????

Here is our sequences for success package 3 exercise one. I was a moose in the road for when he turned right but he was a good boy and still went around me. I fixed my position when I tried it a second time.

Sequences for Success package 3 exercise 4
I broke these 2 turns down before I put them together, then did the entire thing, then took the tunnel out of the picture.
When Stark is running he really does not like to decelerate which causes him to turn WAY to wide. I really need help on figuring this out and working with him on deceleration and tighter turns.

Here is his video. His turns are so wide he almost misses the serp.

Are you ever against using a gate or a visual barrier to help with collection?

Before I forget; I was not sure what verbal to say when Stark is doing a tight turn around the wing. I decided to use his left wrap verbal. But I wasn’t convinced that was the correct thing.

Do you feel that teaching a tight right and tight left verbal would be beneficial?

Stark’s right and left is a soft right and left. So tight pinwheels could be a problem. Thank you AKC.

Threadle wraps

Here is a video of our first couple sessions on threadle wraps. I was pretty pleased with how quickly he picked it up but I think that’s because of all of the fabulous foundation work from AU. 🙂

We are headed out of town for a long weekend at the beach. I have my skills drill set up to do for when we get back. 🙂

Here is some verbal work and motion override work. There was not much traction on these mats so I did not move much or go above a walk.

[Carol]

I don’t see the maps for the sequences for success posted.

Hi ya! Yes, I have him jumping 16” and he feels he needs to fly over the jumps and go really fast and that decelerating is dumb. We have to work on our turns at this height. Which I tried to do this morning. I did the exact same set up and went off of your feed back. I think we did a little better this morning.

This week I plan to replace the teeter with the weaves. 🙂
