Hi! Here is what we have been up to:)
Some tunnel and lateral distance: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=3SCR3-WfGoE&feature=youtu.be
After our lesson on Sunday, I tried a small bit of the course with Sól: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=q8evm5nFqj4&feature=youtu.be
Thank you! She really was having so much fun getting to run in a big space. It’s exciting getting to see it all coming together!
Today we tried focusing with the lateral lead out game:
We did the accordion game as well. Is she started to close? She looks odd.
We did backsides again and I tried keeping all one speed. It seemed to go better!
Hi! We tried the Star fish game again at 20 ft apart. It was so fun! She really enjoyed being able to run super fast! The first run I think I cut out too fast on the right wing so she cut through but we managed to keep going. On the opposite side she had trouble finding the tunnel after doing the right wing but I think it was because I was going too fast to the tunnel? On the last run I slowed down and she managed to get in. You can hear her eagerly trying to get in, lol!
Thank you!! That makes sense!:)
We tried out the Lateral Lead outs:
We also took another try at the Backside Challenges. I need to be better at dropping the toy/ saying her chase it cue earlier : https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=b5puuh3qCJ8
Thank you!! Great information:) Should I be using the same cue for Threadle and Tandem turns? Or would it make sense to use different cues?
Star Fish Game: This was fun! We started out just doing the tandem turns from the tunnel. In the beginning she wanted to just wrap the jump. However, I think it’s because I was running too fast. Once I slowed down she was able to read my cue. We had one disconnect on the left turn to the tunnel because I didn’t get there fast enough. Should I start using a treadle cue now?
Backside Challenge: We had some good moments here! She was great until I moved past the middle of the bar and then she was unsure of where she was supposed to go.
Hi! We tried the lap turns again. Using treats and then toy after seemed to work well! She had some angry moments but I think once she started realizing she gets the toy afterwards it got better.
Wind in your hair went okay! I’m not sure if I’m doing the end part correctly though?
Hi!
We took another go at the Smiley Face Threadles.
We also did the Turn Away game again. Had no toy in sight this time. I tried to make it super exciting and had really good treats and would send her to the tunnel a few times as a reward. She was willing to do a few but was actively looking for her toy.
LOL! You’re totally right. What’s actually so funny is that I edited out about 2 minutes of me standing there contemplating on whether I was doing it right or not😆 We will try again! Thank you!
Hi! We tried some right rear crosses again. This time she took the jump but is doing an extra spin. I think I’m pushing off into her too early?
Turn Aways: She is not too fond of this one. She was able to do it a few times for one wing but not wrapping to one.

Hi! Yes it was reversed, lol. I feel like my body just knows when we’re working on her hard side and it’s like ‘how can we make this even worse?’ lol!
Get out Proofing Game: Left side went great! Right side was wonky at first, but I also had a floating arm. My get out cue somehow morphed into go out on the right side too.
Zig Zag Game: This went pretty well!
Wind In Your Hair: This was at the very end of our training session and I do think she was getting pretty tired so we only did a few. We started with a few ‘go’ and she did great. The first tight wrap I tried she ended up pushing to the outside of the opposite wing. I knew I was getting pretty close to her line if not almost on it, so I think that’s why she went far out.
Layering Game: This went ok! She was good at the ‘Go’ and did the go to tunnel pretty well. I only got one go to tunnel on camera but she did do a few.
Rear Cross Game: Right side is going well. She had some questions with the straight ahead wrap but I moved the jump over and that seemed to help. Left she still is unsure of. As soon as I say her left cue now she will peel into me. Could it be that she is unsure of going towards the wall?
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.
