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. 🙁
Tracy for the win! Of course, she wanted to eat the fuzzy mat. I’m using cheese abs I think done got stuck. This is the second half of the session. She’s getting the concept.
Hi Tracy,
Well. After 5 years I finally have Covid. Yay for me! I’m sure this session was too long as well. I filmed it yesterday. She is a very slow eater. Goes to the bowl, takes a kibble, walks away and chews 100 times. Sprite was the same way as a baby.
I’m struggling with offer to touch the object. She just sits and stares. I’ll try to film that today. Also, we have zero recall. Sometimes she’ll chase me. Other times, she lies down and just stares. Baby!
I’m not sure I have a long enough toy that’s small enough. But, I’ll look through the pile of toy toys.
Today’s name is Dot! We tried focusing forward, but she lost focus and went running away. Not close to potty trained, so I had to scoop her up.
I’m not feeling well, so I’m a little flat.
Hey Tracy,
I’m not sure when the actual end date is, but thanks again for all of your help. Between the excessive heat and Sprite’s injury I didn’t get to most of the material. She’s being good with the daily laser and exercises. I’ll check in next week with Dr. Eide and hopefully move to the next step. We are practicing toe taping.
At least I’m consistent with my lack of connection. It’s so hard to see where I’m going and look backwards. So, pop out 4. If you turn left over 1 and slice 3 from the far wing how do you get 4? Push in the gap to the backside? I’m sure slices are fastest than wraps, but the line from 3-5 seemed better with the wrap at 3. Slicing 3 puts her on line to back jump 2,5.
I’m not great at multiple turns in a row. Sprite is not fond of being in the house while I walk stuff outside. She isn’t limping for a few days now. Tried swimming today and she’s a spaz. I’m glad I had a swim vest on her. She doesn’t get to see a pool very often. But, she thought it was fun! Waiting on a virtual consult with Leslie Eide. However, it’s not for another week.
Hey Tracy,
I did virtual walk throughs of jumping pop out 3 and 4. Spacing is tight as it’s my yard, but since Sprite isn’t running I thought it would be ok. I’m not sure I made good choices and think she would be in the tunnel rather than the back side of the jump in front of the tunnel. I really wasn’t sure what to do jump 1-2 in pop out 4. Thought about a spin for the turn on 1. But, doubt I got my feet to show the correct line to the backside of 2.
X-ray today no fracture or displacement. She’s still sore and a slight limp.
I’m looking at the hot topics videos. What is the timing of the BC after the threadle wrap to get 4 with DOR? That tunnel is still there. Also, if you layer the tunnel are you mostly relying on your verbal for the threadle 5-6? I guess you can keep your arm back from the other side of the tunnel. I’m not sure we could do these.
