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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Oh..the blanket to toss the treat on. I forgot about that. Here’s yesterday’s resilience walk. She wanted to go up to a house with a dog that is a known barker. I think she got a little scared, but she recovered. Everything is new to her.
I’ll try the decel game in the living room today and maybe repeat toy toss focus forward. I’ll tie two toys together.
I’m feeling much better today. I don’t sound better though! We’ve done some leash walks just up and down the block as well as sitting in my front yard. I tried to film a resilience walk which I’ll show after this. Used a chest harness as I wasn’t sure how to film it otherwise. She does stop and soak in things.
I agree that she’s an easy puppy so far with the exception of chewing her sister. But, I had them in the yard today and I was able to call her off Sprite twice. Once she bites, she goes in a different yard. So, progress! She’s also eating all meals and took a 3 hour afternoon nap. I was about to wake her when she decided to get up.
Here is baby BC. She had trouble finding the treat in the grass.
I’ll play around with different toys. The bending is adding pressure. If I’m on the ground she may try to. It’s my shoes or ankles.
Hey, thanks for adding Dot’s name. Her identity crises is over. Well. Except the registered name. I’m still working on that.
Yes, I flew her home from MN Sunday. Long day of travel and a 4 hr flight. Then, I got Covid symptoms Monday night. So, today is her 5 th full day at home. Yesterday she ate all of her meals. She’s settling in nicely except that she bites Sprite, so they need to be separate. Dot is relentless with nipping and biting. Herding dog!
I noticed her putting paws up on things in my garage and stepping over stuff. She’s just settling in. I even got a little chase yesterday I might try blind cross today. However, it’ll need to be outdoors and there’s a lot going on there for puppy brain.
We did done good goat tricks yesterday. Looking for small soft training treats. Can’t go shopping at the moment. 🙁
