Hi!
Yes- she definitely was going for her ball, lol! I tried again here, trying to wait for her to fully cross in front of me before I start running to cross. She did pretty well at her left turns, but right RC was still hard. I think I was over correcting here at the end and going too far away from her, so she ended up coming towards me?
Proofing Game 3: We tried the super advanced here. It went well!
Hi! She most definitely is a lefty. We tried our RC and had a tough time with left again. She doesn’t have questions about right side. However, watching back I feel I am pushing in too fast too soon on her.
Ladder Grid: I see the double tap! I tried her closer with the five feet spacing but she didn’t seem to have the power to get through it without the double tap now. We changed it back to four feet and she seemed to do better.
Diamond Game: Following through with her on the left side to the tunnel definitely helped her out! This time we added a bit more on to the sequence.
Hi! Thank you!
Wind In Your Hair Pt.2: We got a few good reps in here! In the beginning she started noticing I was switching the ball in my hands and got too focused on that, so I started to keep the ball in one hand and that seemed to help.
Proofing Game: This one was tricky! (For me) as they all are, LOL! I was feeling so awkward getting connected to her for the slice jumping. Kyla did a few reps with her and I saw she was rotating both hands, which seemed to get her better connection. It definitely felt much better!
The Ladder Grid: She always loves these ones! We started her at 4 feet and then moved her to 5 feet after seeing her, she looked a little compressed.
The Diamond Game: This one was fun! We had an oopsie and had a collision (Poor Sóly!) but she handled like a champ and was ready to go again.
Hi!
Find The Jump: She loved this one! Got it right away.
Zig Zag For Slice Jump: This one was tricky (for me). Mostly just trying to figure out my body and hand movements. I think I figured it out? Lol.
Send ‘n’ Serps: This one also got me too! Again, looking back at it I need to be faster to be more ahead.
Thanks Tracy!! She definitely was judging. She was like “I’ll just lay here while you guys finish arguing!”😆
I’ll make the distance smaller for next time! I can’t remember what I had put it to for this one, but I see what you mean!
Here is our first take at Left and Right Verbals. It was so cold my phone was malfunctioning so it stopped recording multiple times so I only have bits and pieces from our session. She seems to like the lefty side better though! I held onto her until I could see her looking at the right direction. She had no failures on the left and 2 on the right. She needed to be closer to the bar on the right side when she was on the opposite side. After a few times she seemed to catch on.
Hi! Thank you! I’ve been trying to keep in mind not stopping!
Pill Bug Game:
This went ok! There were a few times she got behind me. In the beginning I was holding the toy with both hands and switched later on to just one, which I think helped.Tunnel Exit Game:
Trying super hard to stay connected! I can see whenever she comes off the line it’s because I’m disconnected somehow.Wins In Your Hair:
She loves this game! We tried doing different distances with tossing and placing the ball.Set Point With Moving Target:
She’s also loving this one! She’s getting really good at staying. She had one hiccup and was able restrain herself.Thank you for your detailed response!! Watching this back apparently Aelfraed was not happy waiting his turn to be in the ring! In case you couldn’t hear, lol!
The video for magnet fingers was a great refresher. I definitely have a tendency to end up with my hand pointing at the ceiling, lol. One day when dogs can levitate, it will really come in handy, lol.
We tried our loose turns again really trying to focus on keeping my arm back. I think I could work more on having an open shoulder and lower hand. However just the small change did help a ton! Right turns seem to be her easier side. I do need to keep in mind to keep going even when she breaks her line! Good advice. We tried a couple on the left side with two wings but didn’t want to do too many failures. So, I got her to left turn one wing and I would throw the ball past the next wing.
Smiley Face Game: In this game, she likes doing the wraps but isn’t entirely sure about the loose left and right turns (ree ree and la la). I think we just need to do some more practice with these cues? When she was younger, if I accidentally disconnected with her she would go full shark mode and bite. She’s calmed down since then and now just yells at me or launches herself at me. Any advice for that? I can’t tell if I’m doing something wrong at the loose turns or if she just doesn’t get it yet. We got 2 or 3 clean ones.
Proofing Wraps: This one was also challenging. She has great skills for both wrapping and tunnel, it was just tricky for her to know which one to go to unless I was helping with body language.
Wind In Your Hair game. Unfortunately our baby level wasn’t recording:(
At first we had some trouble with having the toy in my hand (mostly my fault- see blooper. Poor Sól, lol.) But I got the hang of switching the toy to the right hand when needed.
She got pretty good at knowing she had to leave the ball in order to get it as a reward!

Pt. 1
Pt. 2
Here is our first attempt at Introducing The Set Point! I realized watching back I am possibly telling her to wait too much? She really loves her ball, if I don’t tell her to leave it, she definitely will go for it.
Baby Level with toy:
Baby Level with treats. She thinks toy is much better!
Advanced Level
