Hi Tracy,
Here is Indy’s Excellent STD run from this past weekend. We just moved up and I am figuring out how to run her, so fun. I am not worried about her missed DW, she has been consistent in trials. I could hear her striding was off as she ran it,, the wall and then preparing to jump the angled triple after might have been hard for her to process as young dog.
Really proud of the tunnel-white wingless jump (they like to use those hard to see jumps) to the AF line that Indy took.
After that, the lines got tight and I think I crowded her a bit but we kept going.
I am using “brake arm” and she reads it so well but I think I maybe push in too much? Not sure,
We ended happy and Indy only barked at me once, ha!

Hi Tracy,
I like your idea to have her fully focus on the jump and not side-eye it. It has been raining all day, so I set up a make shift jump and tried this inside, Indy did really well,,, I had to move my pointing arm slowly at first, to let her settle in.
It was fun to see her be super still in the stand when she was focused on the jump. So this might actually help her “creeping” on the start-line too.
The first 2 reps, I gave my “wrap cue” for the release and then my normal”okay” release cue on the 3rd rep. I think she is more comfortable on the okay ,,, more confident that she should go but I am thinking she will be better as she gets used to “wrap”. You probably can not see it on the video but I can tell she is a tad bit more careful but I don’t think I have time to say Ok-wrap. She used to be the same way with “tunnel: release cue too.
