I re worked the handling combo. Way easier. I did have a helper bc I didn’t want to risk errors this round since things got so dicey last time. It was like a real time replay. I noticed I’m not saying anything walking to the bowl ( tho I do remember saying go go go! The last rep but it was quiet bc you can’t hear it on the video so oops. Sigh
Back to this FF- what if they don’t go around the cone and go straight to the toy after a look to the cone. Also how close should they be?
Now my ocd is kicking in bc I’m like I trained the things in order of the things and did the things correct so why did I mess up the things I trained LOL! Or more so it’s just Julee is processing things they way she thinks it was meant to be. .. I hope.
You mentioned not getting the toy always simply games- do you have one in mind bc yes toy races always paired motion run get toy so I want her to learn that difference.
I’m always on the two fail rule but usually the almost no fail rule and I was super excited with all the cool new techniques I’m learning with those that came to teach live but I don’t think she was ready.
The only thing that confuses me is how she got conflicting about getting the toy on the ground just bc:
Tug sit game and looking at toy if I drop
It you still have to wait for the break or get it cue. Toy place further ( past handler) directing in line with dog. Handler uses arm to teach dog to look at the toy and add a verbal cue – other trainers didn’t start the FF game like you did so I rolled with that. She’s still not allowed to get the toy until I say get it.Game 3- wing vs toy ( also started with seminars ) toy in front of wing where they would normally grab it after the wrap. Hand in collar and as close to wing as needed. Cue either get it for the toy OR the wing wrap. So basically a verbal discrimination. These games started early on and she thought they were dumb so maybe there’s still some of that and I did put it away until she was ready but she’s done well. So yes she seems to think getting a toy on line is the answer but should be only on permission.
Everything you said makes sense and I will work on this!
So funny you should mention moving on. I was feeling good about doing just that! I’ve been sort of bouncing around class bc a lot of stuff we mastered and wanted to focus on this stuff!
Now I swear I had this issue early on but I can’t remember why what or how lol!
Preface we had lots of breaks in between these 3 attempts. I thought maybe tossing the toy after the fail would help… it didn’t. I thought oh left vs right side… nope. Then the round 2- this bothered me. It’s happened once before. I think the sheer frustration of the rewards I offered and it was hard ( I can say this now based on when I brought out the best toy I didn’t have the same response. I don’t ever want her to feel that way. She jumped up to my face. Frantic. A little nippy… help me so I don’t make her feel this way!!
We are working to getting the fly to the floor. That’s the challenge as soon as it touches she goes to it but it is already better as I work more gradually to get to the floor!!!
Here’s our collection sandwich. I’m surprised I did as well as I did lol!
Sounds good!!!
Here’s our serps. Can I tell you I feel like I have a mental block every time I stand of which way the target vs the feet go. She had a very strong touch on the left ( this is the one I use for all things) the right she was t coming in on occasion so I did pay it randomly when I thought she needed help. Main issue was what to do when it didn’t work. I didn’t plan for errors.
The toy on the floor- I’m not sure how to get there bc when I drop a toy it has always been get it if I’m between her and toy or just break when she looks ( focus forward ish) so i don’t think it’s impulse control I think it’s misunderstanding of what I’ve used in the past. Could I use a touch cue ? I mean then I’m not really teaching the impulse to ignore the toy.
Also I didn’t even look until I went to share the video that it was 7mim. It’s 3 sessions combined you can quit after the 5. I’m sorry
So my threadle tunnel hasn’t gone well. Realizing maybe the tunnel needed to be straighter? But she was fine when I was using the tunnel word. It’s when I changed it. If only the camera was on her face the second rep. She looked at me like I was an alien. I have tried once more since this and it wasn’t much better.
Here’s our tunnel :). We just put our word on it! And she had watchers today which she handled well but had to run off to eat her treat.
Brag: she stayed in her crate inside the building for a full hour. This is a first for her! We had our Christmas parties and she was so good!
How much dirt training does she need. ? I have someone who offered but it’s over an hour away and most likely not a regular tbing
I’ll practice running away more and develop when we aren’t on camera. I think I was worried I’d be out of view.
I don’t have grass as it’s under snow at the moment and no dirt. I can see if I can get to Kris barn over holiday break. It is a bit of a drive for me
I do have barrels. I need to get them out. They got peed on by two different male dogs and I’ve been worried to use them again.
Turn n burn- the hardest part? Using my marker lol! Bite is new because I was just using get it for the toy. So it was more a general stimulus control don’t grab it unless I say get it. So moving to bite is hard so there’s also a lot of damn it’s ! She made an error and not sure you can see I paid for a note touch instead. Not sure that was appropriate or not.
Collection sandwich- out of my zone. Per our last chat tried starting on the left to the right stuff was on my right plus building value for those circles on that side!
We are tracking ahead as many of the games Julee has already completed but this prop thing! On my right she just walks over it not actually touching it. I will fast forward I changed my prop this morning and working harder to make a bigger deal of the feet touching vs her playing a pattern game….. there was some I don’t know what to do moments and quit because I’m just rehearsing non learning moments but she didn’t seem to notice. I also put it the beginning which she not has a bite for tug and we have been working harder on the bring the toy back. I just needed you to say get on it and I did. ( I’m lazy with out accountability!)
