She seems to have trouble going left in the 2 bowl game. So, we she’ll see. Rain today so left turns will have to wait a day or 2.
Here’s serp starting. I think she spit up a cookie on the red where she was smelling under my feet. Was I right to just wait her out?
Here is our turn and burn session. I only did the right and she lost interest at the end. Turns out she needed a potty break. I still don’t feel like she’s driving in to go around the barrel. But, it’s definitely better. Was the empty bowl where you wanted it?
I haven’t had a chance to read this weeks lessons yet. Dot was extra spicy last night! We had to get up early for a medical procedure for me which threw off her usual schedule.
Oh, she goated herself onto a 16 in table to eat the hackberries that fell from the tree. I’ll work on backing up again this week too.
We did nose touch yesterday. I kind of forgot about it. Tried it when I first got home with her and she was clueless. Better, but not a strong bump on the hand.
I also redid two bowls. Kept the turn short and started and ended with the easier side. I suspect you’ll know today’s song!
Thanks. I am helping her to the left. Probably in this video too. I did this yesterday before your feedback. Sigh
Theme song from yesterday: diamonds, daisys, snowflakes, that girl! The Marlo Thomas show That Girl. Haha.
The two bowl game wrapping the object is from yesterday. The first part was too hard. Difficult environment and I had the bowls too far back. Epic fail! After the toy break, she did better and I made the bowls easier. I think I’ll try a different object like a suitcase before the turn and burn.
Oh, do you think she’s a righty? I think so. But, I’m not sure.
Can you guess the out if tune TV theme song in the prop video? I went back to circus on the break. Dot was distracted by water. She’s drinking a lot these days. I know… I went in too long. But, you can see our struggles. Better though.
I couldn’t tell if she had found the treat and swallowed it. So, I waited. But, I can try and call sooner. Ok, any glance back counts for the pattern game.
We did add novel exciting, and tried parallel path. I tried outside which was an epic fail for parallel path. She couldn’t touch the object at all. Walked right on the outside of it. Dot is having accidents as it’s hot and she drinks a ton of water. Therefore, she will go every 15 min if she active. It no big deal in my kitchen with vinyl. But, we are not playing on the carpet at this time! We did it later in the kitchen and she still struggled to be away from me much. She seems better in my left versus right.
We are still not great at send to the prop or going around things. I’m not sure if it’s my mechanics or she’s just a little young still.
Are you good with two videos per post? If not, I’ll go back to one. But, I need some help to progress.
I’m trying to be good with sessions. We can try the parallel path. However, on a walk she cris crosses all over the place.
We did the pattern game and the collection sandwich. That game hurts my brain with trying to figure out which hand to use so it’s correct for the blind cross. But, not to have the toy in the turning hand! I think she did well despite my less that stellar mechanics.
I’m sure the food was in my hand. Am I supposed to use a bait bag? Or, just be sure it’s in the opposite hand from the send? I feel like I can’t do many of this weeks games as I don’t have a send to an object. I’ll try the collection sandwich and see if she can do that. But, I feel like I’ll need to feed the turn still.
Here is two bowl game standing up with the laundry basket. She’s still not 100% sure of the pattern yet.
I tried moving closer to the ottoman and she didn’t like the pressure. However, I’ll sit down. We don’t have mat behavior yet either. There’s so much to teach!
Here is send to the prop. I tried sideways at the end and she couldn’t do it. Maybe tired. I’ll give it a day or two. We haven’t stood up with the pop up laundry basket, so I’m not sure if I should do that before turn and burn. It’s lawn day and Dot is not fond of the lawnmower noise. I don’t want to be in the backyard until I know they’ve been here.
Haha. Dot says why back up when I can just continue to go through! We will work on this. I taught Sprite to back up to a prop. Dot doesn’t have a 2 back feet up on a prop yet.
Ok, I’ll see what I can do. She definitely lets go easily so I haven’t pushed for an “out” yet.
I had two toys tied together here, but she got them apart. It’s pretty hot here today and she’s had a busy day. A trip to Home Depot where she escaped the shopping cart, bad Mama.
Ah..the mat. I think you’ve mentioned that a few times. I keep forgetting. Although, my treat tossing to a target needs work.
Here’s the latest paw target progress. Today I’ll break out the wobble board and put it on grass. She’s a bit noise sensitive.
Ok, I’ll try the holey roller. I thought it might be too big for her. The blue ball is Sprite’s favorite. I’ll clean up better next time.
We tried the decel and turn outdoors. She’s still having some trouble finding treats. And, my arm is still too far away! The last two reps had no food in the turning hand.
I’ll give the pop up bowl game a few days.
I’ll try the backgammon game today with treat toss.
I was reading the marker lecture. I don’t remember how I taught Sprite to bite the toy in my hand. I’m not sure Dot is there yet.
Here is afternoon toy races. Not as good, it it was hot.
Haha. Everyone wondering what’s in my hand. I’ll try the food toss. In the past, she wouldn’t come back and step on it. But, she seems to have a better understanding now. I fo believe she’s a thinker versus a doer at this stage in life.
Here’s adding something to go around with the two bowl game. We did tug at the other end of the room and that worked well. You can sort of see it.
