    Got my treat n train 😁 as I’m still shopping, I’m curious regarding PVC ladders versus the cavelletis cones versus just doing low jumps, that I already have.

    I am planning a running a frame-need to make a box for the game. And doing 2o2o on DW.

    I did set up in my basement my dogwalk side, that has a little rock I thought I would treat the ends and have her going end to end. I didn’t have a DW when I trained Chaz. Then I was going to raise it so it’s off the ground.

    I did put a board on my little wobble board and it works great. She definately needs the work work moving and banging. A good thing for Steve to work while he watches TV 😁

    I moved my dining room table over, so I’ve got a nice big space in my unused living/dining area.

    I had headphone fail last night but I just read the running contacts game. It teaches how to use MM 😃 I’m going to wait to see if there’s an after Christmas sale 🤞

    I’m glad to be see I don’t need a separate class for running contacts. I’m going to do running A frame and stopped DW. I’m curious if you’re classes cover weaves also? Another littermate, who I tried to get to do this, is doing a different one and a separate running contact class.

    Well I’ll never be caught up until March lol I think I better mostly use the time in the hotel to be catch up.

    Also, one of Tali’s littermate is wanting to start, with no experience and having trouble finding a place for her intact male indoors in St Augustine. Do you think this class would be good if she doesn’t have a tunnel? She will evidently, so would have skip tunnel stuff till she gets one. I’m not sure how much a tunnel is needed. She can still learn alot. Just wanted to check with you before telling her about it.

    Well…. Road tripping and practice hasn’t worked. I could actually catch the live class tonight, but I haven’t done anything from last week and 1 from 2 weeks ago 🤦🤦 So would it be better to use tonight to catch up or watch the live class? Is it better to go in order? I’ll have time in the hotel tonight. On a positive Steve’s 4th place finalist, won $50 J & J gift certificate and $100 from AKC, so I’m using it for a manners minder 🙌 I just have to find the gift certificate……

    I just voted for you as a presenter next fall 🙏🤞

    And I’m off today, going to knock out the tunnel one before I leave. I did but a pop up laundry barrel. I’m assuming that would work for the cone you said I needed next week.

    Hi I’m about to get behind 😞 but I’m having trouble with the rear cross, esp her bad side, turning left. She keeps turning back to me, not looking ahead. She’s very me/treat focused. I’m throwing the treats to the cross, but she’s a spin to me, then gets it. Everything else she’s doing good. Working on counter motion, but the rear cross is the biggest schedule.

    I’m hoping to get a day off to start the new stuff and pack this week. I’m leaving Saturday for 12 days road trip to invitationals in Orlando. Can you tell me what I’ll need to work next Tuesday, 12/14, games. I’m going to pack the stuff and I’m hoping to work some stuff.

    OMG I so love this foundations. I don’t feel it’s too easy for Tali. She does know some of the things from the Silvia Trkman puppies diaries. We were wrapping the table leg, then she was sending like the turn and burn, but no explanation. You explain everything so great. She has great body awareness. This is so great and again, what I was looking for.

    Since we’re definitely going to be spending a lot of time the next year or so. A little more about me. I’ve done seminars in the past with you and my wild Vizsla. Chaz and my previous agility dogs were very naughty, wild boys. Tali is such a good girl. A quick learner like Chaz but not naughty and running off. Currently, I’m working full time, manage two Airbnbs, one in my basement, one in the mountains and an inventory company 🤦🤦 I’m going part time this spring, so I’ll have much more time and can do working spots. I can’t do group classes with my schedule, so I’m an online person. I’ve got a big yard and everything but a tire, panel and table.

    So far, no questions.. Just praise for you ♥️

    I’m off tomorrow 😁 so will practice running after she does the blind. And no pointing on the wraps.

    Her favorite is cheese… Nails and scary things get cheese. Definitely going slow and building. We really got success with the table today. I really want her to jump 16 and she’s right at 18″ 🤞

    Thanks!!

    Regarding wing wrap-I do need to step towards and point like the pregame when we get further with distractions…is that OK? I’m training in between runs.

    Ok somehow I do have a top Vizsla and I’m not very coordinated lol 🤦 regarding the blinds… Which I really have just been doing with Chaz the last few years and trying to do more……I can’t get the alternate arm thing, reaching around. I did much better just doing the blinds with the side hand, I wanted her on. Like I do with chaz. I had her squeaky ball and she was coming to the ball hand. I was stopping do need to keep running.

    I had wild Vizsla to overcome, with Tali, she’s a really good girl, who really watches me. I really need to work on confidence with noises and moving things. She does recover great, except with table/wicket fear.

    BTW her sire is Finnegan with Jennifer Goldberg. She’s a thinker like him.

    Can I have a holder for the bond cross and racing her?

    And I can’t use a toy for the blind cross, can I just treat her? I need to work the lotus ball, then maybe that would work and I give her the treat from it Or maybe have her ball and when she comes in to hand, I throw it??

    Hi on the wing wrap, when can I drop the bowls and reward from hand. I did a few that way at the end. Just easier then bringing the bowls. I have her going out to different objects, 5′ away with distractions 🙌
    I needed bigger treats to throw backwards tomorrow, I can’t beat her to the ball. She does like chasing a ball. Thanks!!
