What are your toy sites again? The toy I used is just over 3 ft long with a ball on the end and fleece. But, shes targeting the red bungee part by the handle. I can’t use 4 My Merles at the moment due to ridiculous tariffs.
I’ll definitely let go of the toy. Is that still my “strike” marker? I do NOT like getting nailed. My skin is much thinner than it used to be.
We’ve done 2 bowls and some cone wraps in the past. However, she never got much distance going away from me to the cone. So, I tried the laundry basket for the first time.
I repeated the send to prop video. She’s getting better, but not waiting for the send all of the time. Since she wasn’t going before i still rewarded those hits for the effort. Also, I tried a few sideways and backwards which went better than the forward send.
So, I tried a quick session this AM. She’s not understanding the send. When I use my arm she starts nose touching it or licking it. I’m supposed to look at her and follow her nose forward, correct? I’ll try later and film it. I’m terrible at the ready dance which you’ve seen previously! 🤔
We did BC and I will tie two toys next time. I have a flying piranha! Why do my dogs all want to bite the handle? She’s nailing my hand and Mama does not enjoy that. We tried decel with food with more space too.
Ok, I’ll try niiiiice and try not to shout it. Lol.
Ugh…sorry i was marking early. I’ll play outside with this next time.
I’m a spaz with the ready dance and prop send. I’ve no idea why my left leg send is so wonky. I have a bad knee, but i can step straight. This needs more work before we try the side and backwards sends. Is this prop too small? Sometimes shes close or nose touching it, but we just started.
Threw in a brief toss toy session. She sometimes brought the french linen tugs back. Sprite will give up a toy or chewy to the puppy, but i don’t like to reinforce stealing from a house mate. If they each have a chewy then Reese needs to mind her business and chew hers.
Hmmm, i cant use goooood. Thays my stay in put and I’ll bring food to your mouth marker. Other thoughts for prause? Thats the problem with multiple markers.
Yes, Reese might be a lefty. I seem to get those. Im a lefty, so maybe I train that somehow?
I tried both dogs with toys. Reese chases Sprite and tries to grab Sprite’s toy! Lol. I may play woth the French linen toy as it’s easier to grab and less “this is fun to chew.”
I need more room for this game.
Toy races. I’ll go outside next time, but I’ll need to tie the toy. She was great at coming back with it when I first got her. Now, not so much.
Omg. I left out the part at the end when Reese jumped for the toy, missed, fell over backwards and hit her head on the entertainment center. She seems fine. But, seriously girl don’t scare me like that.
This is our second foot target session
And, first hand target. It’s a handmade coaster.
Oh, I watched the video in slo mo and I was totally turned into her. So interesting.
We tried out. She missed the prop a few times, but moved out and was on the line so I rewarded. I’ve ordered the cheese balls so we shall see. More rain coming. So, indoors again for a few days.
Ok, I’ll play more with the toy keeping it in one hand. I was trying to not have it in the send hand. Dot tries to steal it out of my pocket if I stuff it in there.
I have a question on the out lecture. What marker are you using when they go out and hit the prop? I thought you said “yes”, but then you were tossing a cookie towards the prop. This is a duplicate question as I asked under the lecture, but I won’t get a notification if it’s answered there. Sorry. I wasn’t sure if I’d get anything filmed today.
This is the concept transfer to the jump from awhile ago. Left a blooper in!
She has no interest in food or snuffle when she’s running amok with the toy. It’s like the Tasmanian devil. But, I can try to react less and see if it helps.
We tried backing up today.
Ok, she’s crazed when she does that and could knock over lamps etc. i will try not to police it so much. Its rain for days so oent up energy now.
We played baby toy in the kitchen. I want to be sure this is ok.
Hi Tracy,
This is round two. The first round she snagged the toy out of my hand after the third rep and went leaping and zooming all over the couches, living room etc. When I finally caught here I put her up and played with Sprite for a bit. I’m working too hard to try to engage her. She isn’t naturally wanting to engage and is more interested in her environment. I brought her back out and out the toy on a leash. The plan wasn’t to let go, but she pulled it hard.
Oh, that’s a great idea. She does work in the living room and I’m trying to give her more freedom. But, she struggles to settle versus get into mischief.
Today I went to Colleen’s house to let Dot play with Roulette. This was after the play session and Colleen is filming with Rou by her side. Bonus…she peed twice in the backyard!
Hi Tracy,
So, we tried the RC game in the hall. It’s pretty narrow and dark. Plus, Dot hasn’t trained here before. She did leave me to go run zoomies in the living room after we changed sides. But,I got her back, let her sit in the xpen for a bit and then finished. I then baby gated off the area.
We did 3 reps on the first side and she left after the 2 nd rep on the new side. So, I don’t think it was too many reps.
I think it’s the allure of freedom in the other room.
We do play “soccer” in the yard with a jolly ball and a doggy soccer ball.
And…I was immediately tossing the toy again after she brought it back and got the treat. It was from Sara Brueske’s pay to play class which worked well for Sprite. Dot understands it with a platform or much lower value items.
So, I can do the baby retrieve lecture with just tugging in my lap, correct? Dot prefers chase to tug in general. You’ve seen the two toy game where she wants the toy she wants. It’s been like this from day one.
We tried the sit stay lecture, but the cheese was frozen and either sticking to my hands or crumbling all over the ground.
