Hi! Thank you, that was a big help!! We tried it again today and it went well! During the middle of the throw back video, I was so focused on her that I forgot to call her in time to cue her to the opposite end of the tunnel. By the end I was able to get better!
Next question- rear crosses. We haven’t been very successful with these. How can I break these down?
We tried out another sequence from the lead out 2 game. This is the one where they should do the rear cross, but since she doesn’t understand that yet I was trying to just get her to do a tight right. She ended up reading it as a back side, smart girl! I changed my cue on the last run on the blue to how soft turn right and deceled, that did the trick!
Hi! We did the lead out game yesterday and today. Our first try went good, but when I tried to lag behind her she seemed a bit confused. In our second session I placed the ball at the last jump and it made her accelerate and drive straight ahead. Is placing the ball ok? Is she actually taking in what she’s doing or just thinking about her toy? The first few takes on the blinds were rough, I could feel I was definitely not turning fast enough and it caused her to have two different lines.
For the throw back, we had a tough time. How do I go about teaching this in small steps? (Committing to first two jumps so I can get into the right spot fast enough).
Hi! Canada isn’t quite sure what it’s doing yet, lol! It was super hat all weekend and today it was cold and windy! We did some teeter today and worked on turning around! We also tried some more sequencing from the tandem lap turns.
Hi! We tried out the tandem turns today. I realize after watching back, I was way too far away from the wing and too late calling her. Once I started sending her closer to the wing and running straight to the other wing it felt better.
Hi! Today we did the other side of lead outs and some tunnel go to tight turns. She goes perfectly ahead for a bye wrap but whenever it’s a way wrap she pulls in front of me out of the tunnel or spins. Am I slowing down too much?
Thank you! That is all reassuring to hear. Today we took a break on tunnels and did the lead out game. It went well!
Hi! We did some practice with the tunnels and teeters. When practicing with the teeter, I backed her up to the end of the tunnel exit and told her break she understood I wanted her to go teeter. When I added the tunnel and said go, she immediately peeled in front of me. I feel like now she thinks go means go straight, but I chase ball immediately after. We added in two balls with the tunnel where I held onto mine and Kyla threw it to her and then she chased my ball after that. She’s becoming very very reliant on the ball, she’s now starting to spit out treats if ball is out. In the outside tunnel videos, she seems very frantic moving. Or is it me that’s making her move like that? She had a few tumbles in the tunnel, which she’s never done before. Is this just her getting used to grass?
Thank you for reading my novel, lol!
Hi! We did the double crosses game, the double blind went good but the front to glide was harder for me, especially of the left side! I think I’m too late? I also noticed I’m not looking back at her.
The bang game
Serpentines: we did do all the sequences for this but only this one would download for some reason.
Hi! I agree, it definitely went down too far.
We did some of the wingin’ it games. I’m going to work on starting my transitions even earlier. A few times I made the mistake of trying to start a blind and run and she was like where are you going?!
Hi! I seen your response after we did this teeter session, so next time I will make sure to stick close! There was a private going on in the front of the building during this, which was fun distraction training. She didn’t mind at all.
Hello! We are back, just did some teeter work today and added a wing wrap to teeter. She was very excited to be working!
She seems to be doing really well. The hardest part has been trying to get her to rest, she just wants to run and play with the other dogs. Which, I am happy she wants to do!
Hi Tracy,
Today we had a terrible accident and Sól was hit by a car. We rushed her to the vet and had exams and multiple X-rays done and by some miracle, they think she is okay. There is no bleeding, swelling, bruising fractures etc. She is walking, drinking and eating normally. She is home now with pain medication and seems to be her spunky self. They said they believe she should be back to normal in about a week. I will be going back next week and doing X-rays again just to make sure nothing has changed and taking her to the chiropractor. When we return we will be taking it very easy. Just wanted to let you know.
