So my only question is and I had it the last time I was thinking about it this my head how slow do I need to turn? Is there a too slow to maintain connection where I should go back rebuild the decel? Not sure we ever really nailed it
This didn’t seem to go as planned lol
The turns are ok? He had to poop so maybe that was why it seemed like pain drying
I got brave and tried rear crosses today. I failed on them with both Chata and Julee. Of course Chase was like hold my beer 😂. We had trouble finding orange cheese… and I didn’t really know how to use the mat ( tho when I practiced a mat it didn’t help much ) but I enjoyed playing this with him!!
Didn’t even think to toss back I’m so used to dogs running off with their toys lol.
This was way more fun and easy then I thought it would be
Gosh I just forgot to post all the things.
Sits are our happy place. I love training them. Most times my dogs have amazing stays. Chata sort of traumatized me but chase is having a blast and I only
Play these games. Have not asked for sits under any pressure and won’t ask at clinics. Which brings me to a restraint issue. He had a preference to restraint and Christine is his go to. At the seminar last weekend he freaked out when Soshanna took him and he was fine with her until that moment. I felt awful!!! Christine took over but hoping we can help him with this.
Our handling sandwich is work in process but it’s getting there!!
Props- to answer the question from last post, I spliced it together so the video looked as an all in one. I went back to sends and it went alright until I did just…one..more. Sigh.
Turn and burn. I am sort of splicing it together. We took a break so I haven’t done commitment much in terms of leaving earlier so I wanted to just work close and pair the word. Plus I was thinking about how he wasn’t sure when to go and I wondered if adding a word would help. It seemed too. Certainly there’s mechanics I need to clean up? Also I swear I didn’t know it was so long training!!

Ok our handling Sammie did not go well lol! But he’s cute and he tolerates me. I did two sessions about an hour or two apart
Here is the SSC framework- I was a jerk and dropped the toy off screen initially and went to work not even thinking he would have to deal with the novel object and chase cookies facing the toy. He did really good. I stopped when I realized and reset. What interested me was that second set he literally was like oh hi fan! How long you been there.
I’m doing my prop parrallel/sneds/ rears. The parallel went amazing ! I’m avoiding the sends bc of the issue I had initially.. thoughts?
Folding in focus forward
This was our first session. He did better at home. Thought toy would be easier. It wasn’t lolBacking up we haven’t practiced In a few weeks. I thought he figured it out fairly quick in a new place. He’s all legs again!
Practicing our toy races with a novel neutral ( we only have done this once)
I almost lost a finger on the done when he launched as I tossed the toy. I didn’t see that coming lol!Props- so I have a love hate relationships with them apparently. We are still having a hard time. I’ve tried a few different ways to motivate. I physically am ackward most times. He’s actually pretty good with forward but no good things are happening beyond that. Here’s some sessions that show what most are like. I actually put it away for a week. Chata loved this skill so much. It was so fun, julee and Chase not so much so it must be me sigh…
Turn and burn-
I’ve done the wings a few different ways so we are here, happy with it but I see that he’s swinging wide initially not sure whyProps- is he bored? Too many reps? Typical session is about 2 ish minutes. Mixing in the play. Food value seems good as he had a harder time getting on the toy initially.
Toy races. He figured this out fast. I didn’t have his collar with me so made it as least invasive as possible lol!
We moved on with our frame work for self control and added a nov item. No issues!
He struggles with finding food.. even bright white pieces but as we did more we just needed to find the food worth finding !
Our blinds ….well..
You’ll see 🙂
I tried to work with him outside in our far field where the dogs can’t see. I didn’t think about this is his and Ella secret special place where they run with their holy rollers so when I tried the roller he literally went off and looked for Ella. It was funny except you couldn’t see him on video just standing there looking around like where did everyone go?
Collar on today just for training. He’s not a super fast runner. He has what I feel just enough drive for now. I think he will kick in to gear soon
With regards to the other dogs- this is the best I can do for now if I have to train at hkme. Outside is worse. Ella will scream If they are away from me nothing will keep them from barking and I only have 2 crates in my car.
this brings up so many questions
One reason my dogs struggle is because they don’t get a class setting and so they never learn to handle the distractions. I understand the concept of the pressure, but most people learn things in a class setting and puppies are able to be off leash together and work or on leash too lol. And just from the years of watching they do well. Not every dog of course but the basic norm. So im a bit conflicted with it all.To clarify the collar the collar he’s ok with. He just doesn’t wear one because he constantly tries on a daily basis to do dumb Sh… and tries to get on that d show jacka… so to
Minimize our daily how did you do that chase, he doesn’t wear a collar. Ask my friends, can’t make this stuff up lol!!Yes may try a thin leash bc I can’t not be over him if I’m restraining his body with out the collar. He doesn’t like to be held via the shoulders so I do under belly under shoulder. Leash may be easier
