Hi Tracy,
We revisited the rocking horse with a toy. Sprite had a turn, then Reese, then Sprite and then Reese.
I could get two sends, but not more than that. She lost interest and started off to eat hackberries or grab her ball under the tree. I gave her a break and tried again and got a similar result. So, we stopped. I guess I got greedy. Reese does not do many repetitions.
Rain should be moving out today. We did strike a pose with sit stays and a bowl. Reese rocked it!
Sprite played afterwards with a toy in the ground and Reese watched from her crate quietly. Hmmmm.
Did I do the right thing by waiting her out when she was sniffing the treats and not immediately following me? If you add the leash to this game I’m assuming it stays on the entire time? Sprite does get turns. She just works herself up and sings protests or encouragement. Who knows?
This is just a basket with rags that lives in the laundry room. I wasn’t sure what other room to use as going out the front door requires a leash. This is on the way to the potty yard and backyard.
I’ll grab the wobble board out of the garage. There are different sized balls if I can find them that’ll allow it to tip less.
We’ve had drizzle for a few days. Hopefully, I can get back in the yard this weekend to work on the rocking horse game again.
Here’s food remote reinforcement. The lawn people just showed up. Plus, Sprite is signing the song of her people! If you use a toy do you use your remote reinforcement cue and then the strike the toy cue once you get there?
So, would you put a towel under the wobble board? We haven’t done that much. Reese doesn’t have position changes under a verbal cue yet. I can lure them though.
Here’s our Threadle wrap flatwork. The treat got stuck a few times. Sigh.
Hi Tracy,
Are you thinking about running across a Cato board when near agility? I think there’s a fun match this weekend about 30 minutes from me.
Also, what are you thoughts on an opt out station being present? I’ve seen it in other classes where you leave out a snuffle mat on a raised item like a small chair. The dog can choose to go to the snuffle if they need a moment. I’ve tried it with Sprite occasionally and it surprises me sometimes when she decides she needs a break. It’s not often, but I like the idea in general.
Here’s back up progress. I finally got her to back up to a slightly raised object! She is pretty deliberate with her paw placement.
Yes, I did notice the side swipe anticipation!
I’ll give her a day or two and then try the bowl. Toy on the ground might be hard for her. But, we are getting there.
Here’s the Shpile! Sprite played as well.
Haha. I rewatched the video. That right law was hilarious! I go new way and smack with da paw!
Here’s strike a pose. We did some sit stays. When I tried the extreme one with a sit stay so broke. So, I went to treat tosses for that position. She’s getting the hang of this game! I need more room as the table messes with the positions a bit.
The strike a pose is there now. Thank you!
I’ve seen those AC hose attachments. I have all of my stuff loaded in the back seat so I’m not sure I could do that with hoses. I’ll try a better crate fan and see how it goes. I really do NOT want to buy a new car right now. But, vents in the back are a must if I do.
Reese did great in the new environment. The first exercise wasn’t filmed. Dudley held the pup and we ran away and dropped a toy on the line. However, we weren’t allowed to say get it. I guess it was to see if the dogs chased more or noticed the toy. Anyway, Reese takes off towards me, runs a bit past the toy, skids and turns around. Then, she picked it up and brought it to me! Twice. I used the French linen which is her best retrieve toy so far. Super happy with that!
Here’s get out. The yard is wet so it’s indoors.
I think I understand what you mean. I’ll see if I can create a corner.
In the live we did serpentine work. But, I don’t see a video for that this week. Are we supposed to be working on that?
Reese had fun at the seminar. No drooling with the ginger cookies. But, after a two hour car ride home she drank a bunch of water and regurgitated. So, she may be hot in the crates. It was very warm when we left. I cranked the AC, but I don’t think enough air is getting back there.
Ok, it seems like shes good with one to two sends. Then, it’s too much. Shes not going to do it back and forth too many times. I tried to find my old videos of Sprite. But, I haven’t found them yet.
Today we tried RC. Shes mostly turning the wring direction, but got it right a few times. How can I tweak this? Tomorrow is Dudley!
We tried the rocking horse. She’s sort of walking through this and isn’t all that enthusiastic. She’s definitely requiring a lot of energy and move,ent from me and she’s still not really committing so I can leave.
Should I do more turn and burn?
Yes, I did venture off to Trader Joes and got the triple ginger cookies. Also, bought a temperature gauge as the crates are in the far back of the SUV. It’s intermittent, so it’s hard to tell what the issue is.
Heres strike a pose with the toy toy. Still hard for her. This was filmed yesterday befire the feedback so I did all of the angles.
First rep I said the wrong marker word. Oops.
Reese did a CU class in August. The seminar is at a new place. It’ll be interesting as she’s occasionally drooling in the car crate. Literally her whole chest can be wet. I’m not sure if she’s stressed, hot or car sick. It’s at least 1 1/2 drive. Maybe longer depending on traffic.
We tried strike a pose. I started with the toy on the ground and she said she couldn’t do it. So, I started with the empty bowl. Then, we tried with the toy. It was still hard for her. I’ll show that clip next.
