Hi Tracy,
This is the only set point stuff I remember. She hasn’t jumped much so I was changing the bar each rep. I’m open to other suggestions. Unfortunately, we aren’t in a live foundation class. So, it’s all home schooled.
Hey Tracy,
Bar is at 10 in. Sprite is a bit distracted. She’s in heat AND I had the yard aerated today. So, the termite was attracted to the yummy dirt clogs!
She’s definitely still trying to sort out collection! Also, what do I do on the go sequence when she comes to me rather than take the jump? I just reset her. Forgot about stay rewards until I switched sides. Also, threw in some food at the end to collect before jumping. Not sure it helped, but next two looked better. Then we stopped!
Hi Tracy,
Yes, the last rep was not pretty. But, it was time to stop and I’m trying hard to break the “just one more” habit that turns into several more attempts.
I put the tripod in a new spot and you can see her sit stay! We just did stays and extension. I had a really bad toy toss so it turned into a run to get it and toss it back to her. I think these looked better! Next time I’ll go back to decel and mix it up. But, I want her to stride out a bit to feel the difference. It’s her first season too, but she seems happy to work. Plus she’s fine now from her less then optimal choice to eat her pants! Lesson learned.
Hi Tracy,
Sorry, I’m getting used to the new iPad. It zooms in more than my old one even though it’s zoomed all of the way out. So, you can’t see her sit stay.
She’s also just started her first season. Unfortunately, she spent 7 hrs in the ER yesterday after she ate her entire pants. Sigh…. Luckily I wasn’t gone too long and she didn’t need surgery. But, barely made it into the ER before they closed. That’s so scary that there’s no guarantee of 24/7 emergency vet care these days. She’s pretty normal today. Thankful!
She’s still taking off way too early. I’ll dig out cavalettis. Hope she doesn’t have ETO. However, I jumped Gemma at 20 in and before I could lower it Sprite leaps over it. I think she just needs more jumping practice to sort herself out.
Oh, yay! I thought we were done. BTW new iPad loads the site better. So, bonus for me.
Here’s extension session. One broken stay. I think the pre-placed toy was better. But, it was also at the session end. What do you think?
Yes, we did NOT jump cars! It’s possible there was a treat in the ground. But, I’ll try to add more motion next time.
I did put the bar at 4 in. Can’t lock it in, but jammed it against the edge. These are homemade bars. She is taking off way too early and is not adding a collection stride at all. We really haven’t done much jump work at all. But, she’s clearly not centering over the bar.
Gemma did well! Easy to collect when I’m standing there. But MOTION and wind in the fur add excitement!
Hi Tracy,
Yea, Sprite was one on 1/24/22! I can’t believe she’s a year already. I’ve done some jump grids with low cars, but not a lot. She should be fine to try 4 in. I was tossing the toy on the extension towards the brand new iPad on the tripod. Not brilliant planning. I agree I didn’t see much change in her stride. I’ll add the bar after our walk.
I’m not able to move sandbags just yet. So, I’ll so I the tunnel in the off weeks. Here us counter motion. I’m not sure if she lost focus or was stressed on the one rep where she ate grass. What do you think? I don’t think I over did it.
Gemma got to do the decel at 20 in. She could use a reminder!
OMG. I did a beautiful sesson and as I am wiping off paws the iPad fell out of the tripod holder and went splat! UGH. New one ordered, but I am not sure how long it will take to set up. It’s only money, right!
More Hallmark moments! Yes, it’s still hard not to look for the obstacles. I’ll play with this more as it’s really fun.
We tried the bsby lateral leadout. She rocked it!
Hey Tracy,
I had a busy day so we just played around with two cones. They are about 20 ft apart, but I still felt like I was running too close to the cone. She was a bit wide here I think. What do we do when that happens?
Uhm, they were much further then 4ft. Moved the middle jump back slightly, and angled to get 4 ft. She was much better, except she wanted to go before swallowing her reset treat! Edited that rep out. She’s trying to run and cough up the treat.
I still see better head turns to the left, but she looked much better with the stride at the correct distance.
Anything in particular you want for tomorrow. I’m thinking she needs to run straighter for a day!
Well, I had tossed a treat away before saying look look. She wasn’t in a stay. So much to work on. I’ll watch th3 head bobbin* twins as I totally missed that.
Tried MP opened. Close it a bit? She has the concept, but isn’t using one stride.
Gemma says watching is stupid! But, she gets a turn afterwards.
Thanks Tracy. I think it’ll be easier for me with two wings to set the line better.
I filmed indoors and did use a treat toss on the threadle reps. But, I was tossing towards the tripod which made me very nervous! She decided the reward was easier than then task on a few occasions. I’ll work on her understanding some reward markers are also releases. I’m worried about wiggling fingers in that I MIGHT pair the release with motion which I tend to do anyway. My iPhone would not load my thread to post at work. It kept redirecting. Hopefully your tech crew can get the last post first soon. I know I post a lot. 🙂
This is hard! I’m also waiting too long for the serp release. But, fabulous foundation work.
