Working out rears. Hard when the tunnels not in the right spot I only work one side 🙂
Making sure I handled the error correctly on this
Yes he was warm and that toy is fuzzier than he’s used to. We have been using the holly roller but it’s hard to toss. It doesn’t go where I want to I grabbed something lighter but was hoping it had enough depth instead of using a frisbee which he loves and it’s too flat.
I started the threadle. I was tentative because it’s been a while since he’s even seen them!
Moved on with the layering bc it went so well and I did keep using the check ( wrap) verbal so when I ask for the tunnel and not the jump it’s going to suck lol!!
This session was better. We have been challenging our stays so I’ve been doing a little extra with movement keep us honest.
Here’s me going why didn’t tracy respond to my latest video… because I didn’t submit lol!!
I feel like there’s is subtle cues with the toy that may be helping me to get right which fine I want him to be successful I just want to make sure he does understand it before I move on.
So… I don’t remember if I even did this in part 1. Oops. Then…. As I started actually doing this “out” is my drop the toy cue. And “get” man so many “get”
Somethings in his vocabulary. So there’s a lot of Chatting with Chase even tho he doesn’t talk back lol!! And I think I cheat helped. Or I physically helped lol.All things thank you! I just sometimes have to get out of my head over analyzing and because let’s be honest I have not had a lot of success in the trial scene in a very long time I feel like I need to do it differently or something and I’m trying to figure it all out and it’s a lot.
All good things.
Good news I did the same serp and tunnel and despite the set up he did it all right. Oops. This is what happens when I don’t stop and look at the set up before I work. These 5 minutes to train the dogs between work and taking care of my mom is not helping!I do want to keep diving and I never mind showing struggles. It doesn’t help to hide them
So- my connection I’m not even sure I can be better. I will try but I’m watching him. I even made sure th reps I sent were good from me lol!
As far as errors go: I may have taken one skil and that one time you said something about not rewarding and employed to all. Oops!! Generally I reward everything then I get the “why did you reward that” ( not saying just from you. Not a dig at you lol!). And with that, at some point I’m gonna be wrong in handling training trialing, but Christine reminded me he wont need to deal with that in real life for a couple years lol!
As far as food rewards, they are there with food. He doesn’t like to eat but I am giving him food for every “middle” leg set up. You may not notice them all because it’s more cookie in his face vs him like ooh can I have that Cookie mom.
Today I did the reps again but he’s always calmer when Christine is there. Prob bc I’m not as wild either. Not as many ready ready! Like I do when alone. That said he got the first rep right. That almost never happens. ( may also be because we have Been at this all week) and then I re visited again later in the day when I was alone
I moved slower and more strategically but I did maybe test to see if he would spike when I changed one thing. (I always put him in the middle, take his collar, and step over him when I’m doing stuff on my right mechanically it’s easier for me and I don’t want to manhandle him. If I do something on my left I generally just take his collar or he orient to that heel side) so we’ve been working mostly dog on right for the past couple weeks and when I switched over to the left there a minor moment. Mechanics, clarity ,
or him going wait a minute we don’t do this routine. Which is fine.The only thing I just can’t wrap around is being perfect all the time. It’s not real life, So I’ll focus on the concept of rate
of reward to help me work through that. For example. Yes I usually start a rep at x seconds. sometimes a girl forgets her word and needs an Extra second. LOL! He can’t lose his mind every time that happens.I’m all in to keep working on rate of reward, mechanics, clarity especially when it’s related to th sport. I do need to be able to be human with life tho. If that makes sense.
Here’s
Today’s attempt to work with what you askedFist session when we had friends there second with our. Normally I’d shorten the video but I think you need to see it all.
Overall the sessions went well
Here’s some more of our rears.
One video shows nothing other than the wing. Oops but actually good because it’s what’s going on at th wing I want to touch on.
It’s fairly minor now and of course you can’t “feel” the energy in the video. He hits harder he grabs the toy when not asked and he mainly doesn’t want to wait.
This happens when I first get him out. Usually we have 3-4 fails before we succeed. This can be skills he knows too. If I ask for tricks he’s wild about them too.When I did the same skill when Christine was there he was less wild.
So it could be my energy or time of day. I don’t know. I don’t want to obsess on it unless we need to deal with it if that makes sense.I didn’t think I was supposed to use words yet! I’m fairly confidence if I say go he’s got it. Is it intended to say go before he goes in the tunnel to cue extension or after the tunnel? I ask because a tunnel for me with nothing else should mean exit in extension so I just want to make sure if the timing.
For the SERPs yeah he almost clipped me but I’m noticing patterns and I’ll post my next video to figure out how to address his cray cray moments as he’s getting older he’s hitting harder so to speak.
When you say be a step ahead you want him in a sit stay or still hand in collar
Type send?
