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.

[Ginger McMullen]

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.

[Ginger McMullen]

We did smoking toy races this AM. Nit video, but she definitely smoked me. Here is front law target from the other day. This the the backgammon game I used for Sprite. Better, but not ready to move on to sends.

[Ginger McMullen]

Ok, I’ll see what I can do with separating the toy and food. I’m not sure how to film that though.

Here is various surfaces. No real agenda. I just wanted to see what she’d do. She wasn’t as good at the rubber disc. I’ve a larger one somewhere.

[Ginger McMullen]

Yes, I randomly hum tunes. I’m not sure why the circus one popped in my head. Sometimes she really doesn’t want the toy as you’ll see in this session. I don’t want to force her. I’ll try to remember tying them together. She’s better with smaller toys to grab onto. Most of my stuff is too thick at this point for her.

[Ginger McMullen]

lol. You need to train me again!

Here is the plank work from yesterday. I’m trying to do 2-3 short sessions a day. I do let her run in the yard with Sprite as well. But, I need to play more chase games with just her as well. I’m starting to feel better so that was easy exercise while I was sick.

[Ginger McMullen]

I’m giving her a few days for the step on the hat game. Yesterday we did goat tricks on the plank! She was stellar. Plus, the add novel neutral game from week one which I’m showing here. She wasn’t fond of the lawnmower noise.

She is a baby baby. Took her on a walk around the neighborhood. She plopped down in the grass several times.

[Ginger McMullen]

Sprite and Dot get along. But, Dot likes to bite her. So, I generally only allow them together outdoors so Sprite can run away. I have had Dot watch Sprite do the foot target.

Here is toy races. Literally, she had just awakened for a nap. Doubt I’ll be beating her for long.

[Ginger McMullen]

This weeks games are going to be hard since they all require getting up on something. I’ll work on it more later today.

We did the folding it in game. There’s a big lag between reps trying to get everything set up. But, she did well. I’ll also try the toy in the yard later when it cools down,

[Ginger McMullen]

Thanks Tracy,

I can sit on an ottoman and see if that helps. She definitely doesn’t understand it’s put the paw on the thing. We can’t do any of the send work until this part gets understood. Yesterday she wants into biting the toy. So I’ll just whoosh it around. She likes that.

Here is collar grab.

[Ginger McMullen]

Here’s as far as we’ve gotten. She doesn’t seem to want to offer to come back and touch the object. I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong.

[Ginger McMullen]

Ok, there’s not too much room in the living room. But, I’ll try to be more parallel. We repeated the two bowl game with duck nibs. Much better!

I’m still struggling with the paw touch target. So, we can’t do the send homework until I get that down. She’ll touch it. Come off and then stand at the edge and stare. I’m using the bath mat for place training so I tried something else today.

[Ginger McMullen]

One thing about Covid…I’ve nothing else to do but train! lol. Feeling better though! Here is repeat drive to toy. There’s not a ton of room in the living room. In a week or so she might be okay outside with the distractions.

She definitely seems to have a cute personality. A little voice is coming out as well. Hmm.

[Ginger McMullen]

Little Dot seems to LOVE dehydrated duck nibs. She didn’t want the toy so much when she got a smell of those delicious treats. Here is drive to handier. I need to keep my hand closer to my leg especially on the left side. Finding tossed treats is a work in progress.
