Hi! Today we just did some targets with a small lid on the tippy board, she seemed to really understand it! She even did it the opposite way and waited while I was getting more treats, lol! We also did some turning around on a flat plank.
Ok! That sounds like a plan!
Today we tried the counter motion game, it definitely hurts the brain, lol.
Also did the plank again and added a wing. She seems focused on me coming across the plank, is this something we want to change or is it ok for now?
Hi! We tried that today. We slowly faded Kyla out.
I also tried the straight line four ways. Left side tight turn was good. Right side is tricky, however I don’t believe I was looking at her and my timing was horrible. Kyla threw the toy for her for turning and seemed to help. Backside went okay after I actually started looking at her and got the timing right.
Thank you! We tried mountain climbers again today with the spoon attachment! She accepted help on the way up the first time and by the end she didn’t even care for it! She just wanted Aunties bread!
Hi! I added a dish at the end and she seemed to figure it out. At first she wasn’t quite sure. Am I taking the purpose of the bowl away by putting extra treats in after?
I put some towels under the board and kept the session short.
Hi!
We did some work on leaving her back feet on the tippy board and backing up onto the tippy board. She didn’t seem to like me sitting down to do it so I stood for most of it.
Ah! That makes sense. She’s about 8.5 months now.
Looking and driving ahead went well! We did do the entire thing but unfortunately my camera cut off. I did use the wrong toy for this game, she would look to see as I was preparing to throw.
Mountain Climbers went good! I helped her on her way up with some treats and Kyla held a yogurt plate at the end for her.
Thank you! Timing is so tricky! These Border Collies are very specific! I kept this session short and sweet. Yesterday I absolutely went too long.
A few oopsies still, however today felt much better. Running with her versus Kida is very different especially with timing!
She was unsure why the auntie had her toy toy and was pretty sure she needed to line up with her, lol!
Hi! Thank you. We are adding lots of rewarding for staying again!
Yesterday we had a fun match at our facility, so we did some of the sequencing we have been doing. By the end it looks like I became lazy with my cueing. She did super in the environment though!
Today we did BC to the tunnel our one side was great! Other side is a different story, lol. There was a few times I pushed into her line on our tough side and she started going around the jump instead of through it. That caused me to start hovering around that jump and then our issues started with the BC!
We tried our plank confidence again. We put some bumps underneath this time.
Hello! Today we had a quick session and worked on our tight turn sequence and tried one blind cross! I put the middle bar up 4 inches and tried the double hand cue, she did pretty well with it. Looking at the video I do think I have my arms too high.
Hi!
Timing and connection:
We had a few oopsies here
Concept transfer: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=KRhvvNEFB7g&feature=youtu.beShe said cheese was good but not good enough! So, yogurt it is!
Hind end combo: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=eyjE7_sRJio&ra=mHi! Thank you. We did the Winging’ it game again today and seemed much more confident in her turns when I am getting her cues out faster.
We figured out she just thought the plank on the ground was too boring. I have to move with her and we brought out the big guns (cheese) and give her a bally after a few times of going back and forth.
Teeter Bang Game: Same thing here. Wasn’t quite sure about it at first but got more confident. She would do a rep, get her toy and then get a cheese.
Hi!
We tried both games again with more distance. For the lazy game, there were a few times when she would cut the middle jump. Am I moving too quickly away from her or just not supporting the jump? I also forgot to use both hands for that middle wing, will have to do that next time.

For plank work, she’s not understanding when it’s just flat on the ground. She only got on when I prop it up.
Hi! That’s a good idea, thank you. So far it seems like she likes going middle before setting up, she does it without asking. I don’t ask her to sit, just to wait. I guess it is confusing though if I ask her to be sitting if she starts crouching forward.
She is also the best when the mama hesitates or says the wrong cue!
