Do you have a video of how the dogs feet are wrapped? I’m ready but I want to make sure it’s correct
I have to laugh because just as your message came through I just got done with another session of this and it was flawless lol.
No video but the only thing I changed was I am her up more with me and not the frisbee. Maybe she thought they were boring and too quiet or maybe late learning happened but she was a completely different dog was able to also do both sides, but I will make the adjustment going further I was adjusting it just wasn’t enough. I was only focused on slowing my motion down and calling her name.
Took Julie to SOtC with Donna S. She did very well after her first moment in the ring of acclimating.
I did notice while she probably still can’t dig in, she does not slip on that turf. Hmm.
We tried the advanced mini pinny
She sits with her front and rear touching. It’s not tuck bs rock. She’s working on where to place her feet but needs props to help with her posture :).
The collar holding wasn’t the norm she was overheating because the heat was cranking at the building right over our heads and I figured try to finish the rep instead of breaking it off. She she was panting a lot and I didn’t have food to help her. No stress planned on that :).
I’ll keep working timing and such on my tunnels. Will be a life long task lol
Here’s our mini pini
Tunnel exit! If you notice I got one tiny black wrap strip on! Yay! That said I had some trouble with this bc I didn’t grab the right toy and had the frisbee so didn’t want to throw. The left and rights I tried to reward that cue vs the wrap but I wasn’t amazing lol. I do think she’s figuring it out.. we been working this all week!
Grids: you’ll have to tell me. I hate her sit bc she tucks her fonts to her backs ( working on this on the day to day) and it’s literally all I can see. I do believe she broke ahead of me almost every time. Ugh. And yeah , I had the jumps backward in height for a hot minute.
Redid our proofing to make it easier. Worked much better. Doing the wraps with a little less chaos since she isn’t gripping and still working on the tape:
Tunnel exits: since throwing now makes me anxious I did place the toy down for the go. (One rep got deleted) but she didn’t drive to it the first time second rep she did. I don’t feel she knows the turn well so I decided to not do the wrap and just reward where she should go. Is that ok?
We have been on and off training this week so here’s a few updates
Grids moving target add learned that the power of saying “D” which is Chata nickname when she’s running amuck has some effect on julee as she left to look for D who wasn’t actually there I just said the wrong dog name lol
Wrap proofing: super hard for us
Smiley game:
Mixed my words up first round. Ooops
Wrapping her feet is a non option right now. It will be a while. Julee is in a class for cooperative care to help her with her touch issues. Panties this week alone was stressful on both of us. In the meantime I’ll work through the other stuff.
Our set point- struggled with where to actually set her. She seems to do better when she can load in. She isn’t new to set point just been awhile.
Wind in your hair :
If I throw the toy there’s still some kamakazie ball diving. If I place it we still have too many errors of her going behind me to get it. (Same as in max pup 1 when we had the wing to the ball on the flat. )
Decel. Hurt my heart with her falling on her face
360/backside wrap
I say it was a 50/50 team struggle on this lol!We revisited with paying attention to Mechanics as well and all is good!
SERPs with motion are hard! If we don’t start with a warm up of no motion , we struggle. She was so good when Chata barked and she seemed to handle the reset fine. She’s been 20 percent breaking stays as of late with hand cues so that’s just a continuation of Learning. I don’t believe it caused the issue of going around. This video is a mirror of what we did the other day when we tried as well. So just keep moving ridiculously slow? It felt painfully slow
Here’s a funny story. I went to do it again and break it down more figure out how to hold my hands that may help and she nailed it. Like nailed it. I was like wow julee. Just wanted to give me a hard time and make me struggle ! And I didnt video
I’ll pause on it for a few days and then when I work both sides I’ll pay attention to my physical cues. I don’t think I was focused enough on them vs using them to toss the food when she got it
