Spins and Race Track

This morning we worked indoors and since the rain finally stopped, this afternoon outdoors. I did some warmup runs outdoors first but omitted them from this compilation. I was pleased as this is the first time I have asked him to follow my handling outdoors.

Look forward to your feedback.

Left and Right with Front Crosses, Find My Face and Restrained Recalls

I like the addition of the front crosses to the directionals.
I was pleased that Rusty came looking for me in Find Your Face. I required actually finding my face because I am working on focus in other facets of our training.
I was very pleased to see him actually chasing a toy in Restrained Recalls.

Look forward to your feedback.

Happy Stays

Rusty has stay experience so I amped it up a bit. He only anticipated once and I caught it pretty quickly. He is also learning to take his turn on the cot while I train Folger. That’s coming along though the current duration is far less than Folger’s. It’s valuable stay practice with distraction.

Look forward to your feedback.

Left Right Verbals

Haven’t gotten outside yet. It was in the mid-90s this afternoon. But we did work on just verbals. I will try to get in another short session tonight.

Look forward to your feedback.

Left and Right

First a morning session and then the evening session to add verbals. Rusty seemed to have fun, even more fun as he got going with it. I assume my next step is to move the sides closer to achieve bounces.

Look forward to your feedback.

Threadle Wraps

I think Rusty got the hang of these pretty quickly. And he seems to enjoy the work.

Tunnels
Kiss Kiss and Tunnel Tunnel
This was actually Rusty’s first time actually working outdoors. Overall I thought he did quite well. Hopefully I can get caught up tomorrow. It’s been a very busy week.

Look forward to your feedback.

Just a note to say that I am headed to Maine for agility at Pineland Farms – will return on Tuesday. Will resume work then.

360s

Well designed lessons and latent learning – I have no better explanation but Rusty seemed to know what he was doing from the start, no luring and reward on completion.

Look forward to your feedback.

Backside Slice Advanced

I added a second jump bump to make the serp part more realistic.

Look forward to your feedback.

Backside Slice Foundation

Doing Baby Level. I thought they went pretty well.

Look forward to your feedback.

Leading with the Head #2

Hopefully you will notice some improvements here in comparison to my last video.

Look forward to your feedback.

Leading with the Head

I hope these are some semblance of what they are supposed to be. I am sometimes directionally challenged and that’s how I felt with these.

Look forward to your feedback.

Strike A Pose Part 3

Rusty loves the Manners Minder. He took to this activity quite quickly. I probably should work to move my target hand less so the verbal becomes the primary cue.

Look forward to your feedback.

Advanced T Wrap Foundations

I went directly to the circles because Rusty can spin and twirl so this wasn’t entirely new. Also I made a point to toss the treat with my other hand so as not to be luring with food. What I didn’t realize until I watched the video was that because of the way I was turning, almost all of the reps were counterclockwise. Oops! I understand how to correct that but didn’t realize it in the moment.

Look forward to your feedback.
