Hi there,
I did have a chance to work on the combos again this week (thank you for the feedback). This video is the last part of the session, all I managed to get due to video operator error(argggg). Overall it felt much better on the connection especially wing to wing. My back has been giving me trouble lately so my running is funkier than normal, 🤪.

Thank you for a super fun and helpful class, you’re feedback is wonderful.

Hi there, Video is week 4 combos (sort of). Still a work in progress. This combo was great, really cought the training holes. I found that when I could get the backsides (easy) and the threadles (really hard) it was difficult to keep the connection after the spin haha!
Definitely needs more work. Hoping to implement your feedback and get another video done before weather gets bad again and/or class ends. What is the last day for video submissions?

Thanks for watching and all of your wonderfully helpful feedback. Sundi

Hi there,
Here is video of Deliberate Disconnect Backsides and Go Lines. We had a break in the weather so I did both exercises on the same day as they seem to compliment each other.
Backsides (we are certainly not solid yet).
Please tell me what to do with my arms on the backsides….I tried some variations, outside arm vs inside arm and even both arms once lol. Fritzi requested I get a solid plan here :).
Go Lines
I see in the video I sometimes have slight head turn to peak at her progress. Is this ok?

Thanks for watching, Sundi

Hi there,
Here is video of week 3 combos. I did 2 sessions here. First session videoed before I read your comments on the previous extreme connection exercise. When I read your comments I realized that I wasn’t focusing at all on moving forward. So…. I went out to try moving on my line better for a short second session. Also moved the jumps out further so I had to move farther.
Unfortunately my running has really suffered without agility for the last 6 months. I’m just now getting back to exercise and I really hate it lol

Hi there,
Here is video of the Extreme Connection exercises.
Am I late with the out cue ? It looks like my arm cue was really late sometimes on the video. Thinking too hard which arm to use and what to do with the toy 🙂
I didn’t follow the exact sequence you had but had fun with the assignment anyway.

Thanks for watching, Sundi

Hi there,
Here is video of the Shifting Connection For Turn-aways exercises.
We did the distance turn away with the longer sequence. Fritzi wasn’t as confident on the threadle wrap so we just did the beginning exercise. Will keep working on it!

Thanks for watching, Sundi

Hi there,
Here is video of the serp combos from week 2. This was fun!
Fritzi seemed to understand the exercise from the beginning so I tried to gradually increase the distance of the send to the first wing and leave sooner when she looked committed to the second wing so i could get farther ahead. Was my exit line clear enough? When I watched the video it looked a bit unclear.
Not really sure what happened on the Oops, I was happy to see her figure it out though.

Hi there,
Here is video of week2:2 shifting connection. When I watch the video I see I missed the 4th exercise, went straight to 5th. Oops
On the 5th exercise….. Am I getting in Fritzi’s way going to the wrap (obstacles 3 and 6)? She looks like she needs to go a bit wide around me on her way to the backside wrap.

Thanks for watching, Sundi

Hi there,
Here is video of the week 2 exercise set 1: sends. This was the whole session with our breaks edited out. I tried to get the FC and BC’s earlier here, still feeling a bit clumsy. Repeated the last rep a couple times (dog on right) to get the BC earlier since I was clearly late. Timing seemed a bit better on our last try. Looking forward to your suggestions.

Thanks for watching, Sundi

Hi there,
This is week 1:3 combos video
We started with FC then spins in different positions, repeat on other side. I had trouble with toy hand on second direction spins and I think Fritzi was getting a little warm/tired. Will practice more without dog lol

Thanks for watching,

Thank you for the encouraging comment. Really appreciated!

Hi there,
I feel pretty rusty on the turns so I rehearsed and walked a lot of them while Fritzi observed from the startline. I see on the video my start cues became pretty unclear, Fritzi was super good about it but I don’t think it was very smart training on my part.
These were all of out efforts today. I edited out the toy wrestling that happens between and some of my rehearsals without the dog.
At the end I tried the FC again and that felt better. Will try the combos after I read your suggestions. Thank you in advance.

Thanks for watching,

Fritzi is 2 and a half now and so much fun !
Here is video of the first regular connection exercises. I am using verbals but the video didn’t pick them up very well. Doesn’t help that there is a dog barking in the background. I will try to improve conditions next time.
These are all the runs we did today. Tried to improve my eyes on dog eyes as we went along, I could tell it helped her stay looking forward when she was ahead on position 3 but then I moved the toy to my other hand on the last rep… argggg lots to think about.

Thanks for watching,

Yay I have internet restored !!
Here is Handler Challenge 6
Sequences 1,2,4 (forgot 3 for some reason)
It’s warm out today and we were both a little slower. I think Fritzi is also trying to figure out what I want.
As you mentioned last set of exercises, I need to pay attention to the direction my feet are going.
Thanks for watching !

OK, finally got to Starbucks and uploaded the video.
I made some notes in the video itself.
Hopefully the rain will stop and I can get the last exercises done. Thank you for extending the class.
