I’m sure the food was in my hand. Am I supposed to use a bait bag? Or, just be sure it’s in the opposite hand from the send? I feel like I can’t do many of this weeks games as I don’t have a send to an object. I’ll try the collection sandwich and see if she can do that. But, I feel like I’ll need to feed the turn still.

Here is two bowl game standing up with the laundry basket. She’s still not 100% sure of the pattern yet.

I tried moving closer to the ottoman and she didn’t like the pressure. However, I’ll sit down. We don’t have mat behavior yet either. There’s so much to teach!

Here is send to the prop. I tried sideways at the end and she couldn’t do it. Maybe tired. I’ll give it a day or two. We haven’t stood up with the pop up laundry basket, so I’m not sure if I should do that before turn and burn. It’s lawn day and Dot is not fond of the lawnmower noise. I don’t want to be in the backyard until I know they’ve been here.

[Ginger McMullen]

Haha. Dot says why back up when I can just continue to go through! We will work on this. I taught Sprite to back up to a prop. Dot doesn’t have a 2 back feet up on a prop yet.

[Ginger McMullen]

Ok, I’ll see what I can do. She definitely lets go easily so I haven’t pushed for an “out” yet.

I had two toys tied together here, but she got them apart. It’s pretty hot here today and she’s had a busy day. A trip to Home Depot where she escaped the shopping cart, bad Mama.

[Ginger McMullen]

Ah..the mat. I think you’ve mentioned that a few times. I keep forgetting. Although, my treat tossing to a target needs work.

Here’s the latest paw target progress. Today I’ll break out the wobble board and put it on grass. She’s a bit noise sensitive.

[Ginger McMullen]

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.

[Ginger McMullen]

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,
