KeymasterHello and welcome!! I totally understand the accountability of a working spot LOL!!!
You probably won’t find much in terms of my US Open runs – I only ran a couple of things the first 2 days to get my baby dogs in the ring, and I didn’t enter anything else because I was in charge of making sure all courses in the 8 rings got built. It was exhausting LOL so I am glad the puppies got to play but I’m also glad I didn’t enter anything else 🙂
The pre-games looked good! They are both value-building games – mission accomplished! For the foot target – the tote bag (I think that is what it is) is perfect 🙂 Your click timing was generally spot on. And here and there it was a little early which is still fine in this case. There were a couple of clicks for almost-touching the bag, so especially if you might want to train running contacts: stare at the bag and wait for feet to touch 🙂
The target in hand looks good too. A suggestion on changing mechanics a bit: the target was in your right hand, so that hand can stay stationary out to the side, elbow locked. After he touches it, the left hand can come over and deliver the treat to him at the target (then move him away with a get it toss). That will speed up the delivery (you can have the treat in your fingertips of your left hand before you present the target) and will change the placement to get the target hand super valuable and also so he doesn’t face you while waiting for the treat in front of you. It will make more sense when we put it in context (cliffhanger!)
The space you used for the video is perfect for tomorrow night!!! Can’t wait!

KeymasterHello and welcome!!!
Sounds like he is living his best life and learning lots of things 🙂 there are a ton of games here, but they are all tiny chunks that are easy to do, so you won’t feel overwhelmed. I’m looking forward to hearing more about his adventures!
