Lap turns…my body wasn’t very coordinated. Luckily Tali did them well. I was fine (mostly…trying to remember back foot back) until racetracks. She wasn’t sure about doing them and I couldn’t figure out, when to do it 🤷♀️
Hmm after watching the videos, I watched yours again. She’s taking more strides. I guess she’s supposed to hop it. I just wonder if it was closer she might not. The 1st part was 5′ the last was 6′.
With high winds I thought I would do wind in your hair. I was running into the wind to help with decel. I blame the wind on my complete stops…..not sure I should be doing that.
I didn’t do the tunnel threadle from last class. I didn’t quite understand with the setup and couldn’t get the tunnel out. This is a longer one. I just included more since I won’t go a follow up soon. I did put away the tunnel for a few days. The yard needs water and unfortunately only a little chance of rain.
She definitely doesn’t know kiss kiss. It was my motion. Which made me focus more on the motion. She ended up confused and not wanting the tunnel. I definitely need this skill due to lots of nqs on wrong tunnels.
I’m curious,I see people doing right or left for the tunnel they want. Is this more for when the wrong is right on thier face?
I’m excited. I’m up to one week left and off thru Wednesday. And it’s the week I worked on zoom so hopefully no issues.
Concept transfer rear cross – I hate moving tunnels lol I switched it around so I did both sides. At the end when I put a jump up, I didn’t realize that the camera missed it. She did go around the jump a couple of times. It’s when you don’t see her take the bar. I ended up not recording my last one. I really focused on looking at her and she took the jump. Too bad I forget to record. I had more goes. I just didn’t record them all.
I did 5′. It’s amazing how much more speed you get with the moving target. I broke down and used a stationary target while she was learning. Then went to moving targetbut my camera zoomed in, I think it’s ok. Do like the 5′?
Ok she’s been a lefty…..in the rear crosses,she was a righty. The diamond race tracks,we struggled with the left turns 🤦♀️ I discovered..which could be the other race tracks issues with slowness…she thinks they’re dumb if I just start her. If I get her revved up and play before, she was a lot quicker as I did after the 1st one earlier in the day. Going left,I got the 1st loop ok but she wouldn’t take the 2nd jump, the 2nd time around. She was fine going right. I don’t think I did anything different.
Here’s more rear crosses with just the turn verbal. I think she’s looking better. Navigate is all me.
Good afternoon! Be ready for daily updates 😀 I’m off thru next Wednesday 😀😀 I will catch up. BTW I do lots of little sessions, during the day. Ideally the next session, I should be able to stay caught up. Unfortunately it’s getting warm the next days…80 is warm in Colorado in April. We actually need rain /snow.
Here’s proofing serps/threadles. She started moving on my hand movement so we did proofing not video. Chaz really watches me and she’s no different. My 1st dog Colby was so obstacle focused. Chaz made me a better handler and Tali and you will make me even better 😀 she did pretty well. I didn’t do the straight tunnel part yet. I’m going to work on diamond tomorrow….Hopefully with Steve out of town.
I was staying go go on the rear because I felt she wasn’t driving ahead..🤷♀️ I’ll try next time just driving to the rear. I have my mechanics down better.
I didn’t realize I wasn’t starting the set point video early enough. I do love my watch since I don’t have to edit. It’s easy to do the videos.
I’m back to work for 2 days so not sure how much I can do, but off 3 days this week 😀 work less, train more is my moto 🙌
Rear crosses/backside wraps-I started sending Tali the wrong way on the wing, so my throwing was bad. I used the MM so I could figure myself out. Then moved up to the ball. She was slow but better with the ball. I was happy she was turning. We didn’t did get one side rear crossing…probably her right turn, since she’s a lefty. I had to really figure the ball reward on the backside. I’m sure I’m doing the backside wrong. I’ve never been good at them or taught how to do it. I did a lot of gos, just edited them out.
Yesterday I tried the blind cross…needed Steve to get the mechanics down 🤦♀️ but to much spinning for my head. I had Easter dinner yesterday and rest, no videos. Today we’re back. Here’s the set point to see what you think at 4.5′
