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
Our first game! We have done the initial stages. I oops on timing the middle one lol. I am doing cookies to help line him up since he doesn’t usually have a collar on and he’s not a fan of certain ways of restraint.
She must have let that latent learning kick in. Only one time she missed the jump and I ran ahead.
The go 4 ways also went well until I twisted my ankle. Let’s just say I had it set up, but showed up in flip flops. Said I better just go work contacts..
Got distracted to the point that I forgot I had flip flops on and ran the set up. Twisted the foot on the rear cross and well… that’s all she wrote. This aging hormone brain is not good for agility lolIt is a million degree here again and I didn’t have the energy to set up the exact scene but I think it’s close to what it needed to be. Redid my rears and tacked that on the end. I think it’s better but … lol
Looking ahead she’s pretty good at not sure if the lines you focused on were correct when I did it. She’s good at a walk ,but sometimes increasing speed is hard for her. She’s more chase me vs take the jump
I felt good about both the skills and I had zero idea where I was in relation to the line to the tunnel so yeah I knew it could be better. I really need to just practice those for me and maybe drop a toy for her so it’s more me training then her?
Here’s our Rears. I didn’t think well and put the jumps where there was already a tunnel so I could only go one way.
She missed a jump and I just kept going assuming it was me and did a second loop.
The rears seem to feel ok ,
But I’ll wait for your expertise to see what I can clean up!I don’t normally have chase squawking but julee and Chata really lack ability to function in any environment that isn’t sterile bc they get no distraction training so at this point it’s radio on dogs barking etc. Chase did settle quick as he’s learning too 🙂
Seminar didn’t go well not sure if it was heat or pressure or me worrying about reinforcing with out her slipping. She’s also a thinker so that may have been a need to process day, but she was slow barely taking jumps no desire.
I was happy when I came back out to these skills and she has want to again. Backing off stays and more rev up when we start. Stays are good but hard and boring
Fluffy blinds
Blinds to tunnel
20 years of pointing and arms still
Have me. lol!And yes i haven’t been tossing bc of the splat and the time to tape vs the time to train doesn’t make sense on short days like yesterday. I’ll buy some cheese balls and see how she feels. She find the lotus ball meh even if I run with her to it or have good stuff in it. She prefers instant gratification lol!
I’ll be off for a couple days as she’s got seminars with Melanie next days
I moved on and I was like it should not have taken me 4 min to do a circle. I fully intended to do wraps.
Note: it’s been 90-10” degree here. I am not ok. lol!
My favorite moment was when I tried to pass one on border collie and drop a toy down thinking she didn’t see it….Tried our ladder again side view
Had a great training session for get out. Never hit record. The errors are the wraps. She seems to have lost the drive to do them. My guess is the grip. She was wrapped when I did them so I may rebuild them this week but she did completely understand the actual cues 🙂
Forgot the building was set up so winged it with re doing my go, rears and backsides. I omitted the rears bc I literally used the wrong directions and the first 2 reps she turned the way I said not the way I moved. ( good dog. Bang head here)
That said I forgot what I was supposed to with working the wraps. No barrel this time and she seems to be getting it.
