KeymasterHi! Hope you are having a great weekend and staying cool. Hope you are finding things not too stressful – I am worried for all of my Florida friends!!!
This is a GREAT video for helping us sort out a couple of things that I think you will find helpful on course. Here are details:Run 1: Opening looked great, speeedy!!!!
On the around cue at :09 – try to decelerate and rotate your feet sooner. You drove in acceleration for a little too long, so he was a little wide -and also it was harder for you to get out of there so he ticked the bar (unusual for him) and had to wait for you to clear the line before driving to the weaves.He wasn’t fully comfortable driving ahead of you on the teeter (you were hanging back) so you can keep driving past the pivot point for a few more steps to help him out. And while you do that – do it on a lateral line, parallel to the teeter but further over so you can have an easier time on the line after the blind 8-9 (you were a little in his way there at :23) and then an easier time getting the blind 9-10. Those are great choices for handling there, so now it is a matter of getting as far ahead as you can to do them because he is driving hard over the jumps (yay!) Even with the blinds a little late… he powered through, no loss of speed or motiovation. So definitely keep adding the blinds!
10-11-12-13 looked really good, he did a beautiful job picking up the right turn on the exit of the 10 tunnel and finding 11 independently ๐
13-14 is a great time to turn on the GO GO GO GO verbals – you got quiet there so he turned tight on the tunnel and almost missed 14. Stay loud! That is your new handling mantra: stay loud! Ha!He turned right on the tunnel exit of 14 really nicely! You can keep moving forward on the 15 jump, heading to 16 – you were moving away as you were cuing it at :36, moving back towards the straight tunnel which widens the line. You can use countermotion there to run past the landing side of 15 and towards 16 very directly – oth you and Ivan will be on the takeoff side of 15 at the same time! It is a challenging skill but I think he can do it. (same thing at 2:09 at the very end – more countermotion will get a better line and more speed)
2nd run – I thought his opening line was even faster here!!!!!! Nice!
On the backside at :56 – you pulled your right shoulder forward and it looked like the ‘pull’ element of a ‘pull and flick’ rear cross/turn away, so he self-flicked away.
I went back to :09 at the first run where he did not flick away and you had your right arm back, no shoulder pull and more connection.
At 1:16, you had a different type of pull/disconnection (trying to keep him from the weaves) and at 1:17, it brought your left shoulder into play as your head turned forward – so he read it as a blind cross and cut behind you (good boy!) You can reward all of those efforts from him – when something goes wrong on course, it has never been because he was naughty (and, in truth, if Ivan ever decides to be naughty then I would probably reward it too LOL!)The next rep through there at 1:41 – you had your ‘regular’ connection for longer so he didn’t consider the weaves or cutting behind you – at the very end you pulled your shoulder so he almost flicked to the weave entry.
So this turned out to be very helpful for figuring out what he reads!! On this line, he does best when you do *not* try to cue it with your right sholder – just leave your right arm back/relaxed and remain connected and run right to the backside – he will get it. When you were over-helping ๐ with too much shoulder pull, you were getting different lines. Good to know!
You ran through the teeter a lot more on the last rep here… and he kinda bounced off the side. Hmmm… I don’t think he did that on the first course when the teeter was heading towards the weave? Maybe he is not comfy teetering towards nothing, so it is a good place to reward.
Your blinds 8-9-10 were earlier here (especially 9-10!) and he was fast AND tight. Nice!!!
The 10-11-12-13-14 here give us a good idea of how to maintain his speed with tunnels: you gave your tunnel-right on 10 but then got quiet, so he slowed down. But you were loud loud loud on your go tunnel 13-14, and he really accelerated. Yet, on the 11-12 jumps, you were super quiet and he was fast.
So, strategically: stay super loud on tunnels. Save your breath on jumping sections so you can have enough wind to yell on tunnels especially at the end of the course. If the courses are not very big in terms of yardage, feel free to stay loud the whole time ๐ – AKC courses are a good example of being ‘smaller’ as opposed to the massive UKI courses.Great job here! Let me know what you think!

KeymasterHi!
>>> and the RC to the weaves is a fine way to do it โ but you can get a lot closer
> to the 9 jump so it is more of a serpentine than a rear on the flat.
>>I know I can get closer to that jump. But with the way this course laid out, Iโm pretty sure that I would need to be further ahead between that jump and the weaves to set that serp line. Otherwise the bar at 9 would have come down because of converging on the line. Or maybe Iโm not understanding.>>Interesting that the bar would come down on the convergence, I can see that happening because of the lead changes/turns involved! That is a good skill to isolate – from a stay and a wing replacing the weaves (to save her body from having to weave when we are working the concept on the jump) – you can work on a low bar with the wing where the entry is (going to the backside of the wing). Start with the wing on an easier line then gradually work it to further and further away so there is more and more convergence. You would start on the entry wing of 9 so you are in motion during this (unless that is too hard, then you would start further across).

> On the weaves to 11: will she handle you doing the FC (or a BC) while she is at pole 4 or 6?
I am currently working lots of counter motion and motion training in the weaves. But I donโt think she could handle an early cross at this time.>>Got it, currently a work-in-progress! I am sure she will be able to handle it in the future.
> Based on how you set this, the wrap is probably the fastest choice but feel free to
> also play with the slice โ with her ground speed, it might be faster!>>I went with the wrap because her verbal cues for the backside are not solid. I didnโt want to keep doing weaves to try it. But this is something I could set up with 6 poles so she doesnโt have to weave so much.>>
Yes, 6 weaves would work! Or a short straight tunnel to isolate the skill.
> On the last tunnel, you were in a better position for the out for sure! You can play with different
> verbals as a โheads up, something is coming!!โ such as a POSE POSE OUT OUT right before
> she goes in โ that can get her looking for your cue instead of looking at the line at the exit.
Good ideas. I need to train this skill. Iโve been avoiding it because of โtimeโ that was spent on other thingsโฆthat I enjoy more. I finally trained a RC (and I SUCK at training RCs โ so avoidance there, too).>>Oh, I feel that avoidance thing LOL!! I had to build a positive CER to certain training things by pairing them with things I loved LOL!!
> Question โ on the release from the teeter on the first run, what word did you use?
I use a release cue when the line to the next obstacle is straight forward. I use a directional โ like turn away, or out, and in this case I used push for her backside cue. She doesnโt always do them on the first rep during course work. But sheโs getting better.
> I did hear your push but she was already heading to the front.
You might have heard the second or third time I said it. ๐ She probably left for the front side with the first push cue.>Ah yes, processing verbals in agility take time to develop! The fast dogs make decisions early and sometimes before the verbal is processed.
>>>She rarely drops bars, but occasionally on the way to the tunnel, she does. I think next time it happens, I will go into training mode and work through it. I generally donโt do many reps when I train. I make notes and set up those skills on the other days where Iโm not running courses. But she needs courses!!!! We both need them. You can work on skills forever, but it has to all get put together for success. ๐>>>
Oh this is 1000% true! The rule I made for myself with bars is basically: track bars for patterns. If it is a random bar, just keep going then review the video later to see why. If a pattern emerges (like you mentioned, bar before a tunnel) – training mode.
> For the next stepโฆ. what does she really enjoy in terms of excitement on course โ chasing
> you as you run? Chasing a thrown reward? Going to a tunnel or a high value obtacle?
>>She doesnโt LOVE the chasing me. But she loves to chase a toy. I hate to throw the toy a lot because itโs hard on their bodies. But I can toss it to her as she comes by and she loves that. Going through a tunnel is also really fun. Good idea about using high value reinforcement strategies for the head turn.>>Oh then yes you can totally use tunnel sends, wheeeee!!!!! Tunnels are incredibly useful as high value reinforcement LOL! I met a dog that was shut down in agility had no interest in toys or treats, and there was a lot of stress/conflict with the handler because of it (a ‘punishment by reinforcement’ situation). So we built the dog back up to excitement by having the handler sprint towards a tunnel as the reward… fun fun fun (for the dog) and a great workout for the handler LOL!!!
And yes, the drive by to a hollee roller grab/toss is perfect, keeps you both in motion and fun, without potentially pile-driving her shoulders into the ground with a throw toy.
Keep me posted!

KeymasterHi there!
>>I donโt think we missed 8 between the mist a bad camera angle and a horribly late cute you couldnโt see that she took it super long.
That might be it! It was hard to see.
>>I am saying โmo moโ cue for tight turn. I never thought about it before but I guess it could be confusion. I think the body language is different enough so it is ok ? What do you think ?
I have been obsessing on more than just the word we use for the verbal (shocking, right? Ha!) I think that if we use the same sound (Go, Mo, To) then it becomes really critical that the delivery style is different: speed, volume, pitch, emphasis. So if GO means extension and MO means tight… you need to use them very differently otherwise she won’t be able to reliably respond:
GOOOOOO GOOOOOO GOOOOOOOO can be loud, higher in pitch (from your nose lol) and with the emphasis on the vowel with the word extended.
The turn cue can be a lot softer in volume, lower in pitch (from your throat or chest) and repeated quickly/clipped with emphasis on the consonant: MoMoMoMoThis also changes your body language which helps her process!
If you deliver them the same way, we are asking her to process the difference between GO GO GO and MO MO MO which is really hard.
>>Seq 3 I liked that you picked up she didnโt turn until landing 2. I never pick that stuff up.
It is part of the fun of a large screen, slow motion, and freeze frame LOL!
>>At 10 my arms needed to be in no swooshing forward (I am a big swoosher which Tokaji does not need. I pretty much fell apart at 9-10 and was hanging on.
You can keep the no-swooshing skill sharp by revisiting the run-with-drink-in-hand challenge – it reminds me when I am flinging my arms around ๐
>>About the โgoโ at the tunnel I wanted a straight exit but not the acceleration. I want sure how to get that.
I think you are talking about course 3 tunnel 7 – You can experiment with GO at the 7 tunnel followed by a name call or attention cue – often that gets the good mix of extension with a readiness for the next cue without accelerating away up a line. Let me know if that makes sense

KeymasterHey there!! Glad you got some training time in!
Rep 1: opening line – nice effective use of the ‘easy’ and brake hand – that off course tunnel was tempting but the cues turned him nicely!
He turned nicely on the tunnel exit, nice early foot rotation before entry helped that. You can hang back closer to the tunnel to set a slightly nicer line to the tire – he was a little wide looking for the line there at :17.
Yes – the cue to the DW was a little late but also I think he needs to see more upper body rotation there – as you were moving forward at :19, your upper body was closed forward so he didn’t really see the arm to pull him in. A name call/verbal turn cue will help get him focused on you before the walk it cue too.
Compare it to the next rep at :34 – we could see your arm so much more clearly from the camera angle and you were calling his name – yay!Rep 3 – yes, he needed one more step to the tunnel but it is a great training opportunity: You did say go tunnel a bunch of times and did step to it, so it would be great if he would go even if you stop early ๐ It is a perfect summer game: he does all the work while you just take one step and send to the tunnel from increasingly further and further away LOL!
Rep 4 – you gave him the one extra step to the tunnel and he went really nice, but I definitely still suggest a bit of training so he will go to it without the extra step.
On this rep at 1:08, you didn’t use the ‘easy’ and soft brake arm on the yellow jump that you used on the first rep, so he jumped longer at looked at the blue tunnel – I think that brake arm and easy cue are something to keep doing there.
Nice job on the dog walk cue!!! And the DW, table and weaves all look good, and so did the backside send.After the weaves – nice timely backside send after the weaves at 2:06 (it was a little late coming from the stay on the rep before it, it is harder to start from the stay)
You mentioned feeling late on the FC at 2:06 after the backside – honestly, you could not have been any sooner because you can’t start the FC til after you send to the backside – and you send and started before he even got to the backside. You were almost fully rotated before he took off. I think the distance there was relatively short so it was really hard to get the cross finished quickly. You can try a blind cross in that situation where you have to get it done really fast especially on a short distance! And yes, you can use more of a send so it is easier to get across the line for the cross – all things to consider when the distance doesn’t give you a lot of time (it looked like 15 feet which is small for a big dog like Cody!)
You can also do a soft brake/decel and post turn and keep him on your left, then either rear cross the teeter (far enough back that you don’t run into the board) or rear cross or blind cross the exit of the teeter!
And yes – gold star to Cody for working so hard to get to the correct side!!!!!! You have been doing the homework to convince him to find the side even if the cue is late, and here are the results! Nice!!! Plus, because the FC started on time, he knew it was coming and worked to get to the right side. I think he felt the distance was a little short there too because he didn’t have a lot of time to set up the tight turn on the FC.
The teeter, DW and turn to the tunnel all looked great!!
Nice work here, hopefully it wasn’t too hot!!

KeymasterHi! It will work out to be approximately 6 minutes per individual game (not per week). We don’t need to keep an exact count of time – the goal is mainly to have short fun sessions without drilling or doing too many reps ๐

KeymasterHi Nancy & Pose!
Super happy with that opening run, even though she ended up straight after the tunnel (you were busy trying to remember the darned course LOL!) I REALLY loved the exit of 2 to the FC 3-4. NICE.
The verbal on the 2nd rep helped for sure, and the RC to the weaves is a fine way to do it – but you can get a lot closer to the 9 jump so it is more of a serpentine than a rear on the flat.
On the weaves to 11: will she handle you doing the FC (or a BC) while she is at pole 4 or 6? That will make it easier to get the wraps cues in… we don’t have much time with her LOL! But she is young, so I am not sure how much she understands yet about staying in the poles while do a super early side change.
Being earlier will also help you get a brake hand in for a slightly tighter backside wrap at :35.Based on how you set this, the wrap is probably the fastest choice but feel free to also play with the slice – with her ground speed, it might be faster!
She did a GREAT job on the right verbals after the tunnel 12 – yes, the first one was late but she turned as soon as she heard it even with the delicious off course tunnel there. The 2nd was great and she picked up 13 very independently at :48. Good girlie!
The out at the end (:58) was the correct delivery – the previous rep was not quite rotated enough. However, it is nearly impossible to get there if you RC the tunnel entry (you would need rocket boosters) so I suggest a FC 14-15 and send to the 16 tunnel from your right side to get ahead.
last run – the opening looked really good! It almost looked like you were going to get in between 8-9 but then ended up RCing, so she was wider there. And yes, blocking the wing on the 11 wrap but she responded nicely to the “hey sorry come back here” verbal LOL!
Excellent timing on the right verbal at 1:26 before the tunnel and she was terrific in picking up the 13 jump.You did the FC here and yes, get going LOL!!!
On the last tunnel, you were in a better position for the out for sure! You can play with different verbals as a “heads up, something is coming!!” such as a POSE POSE OUT OUT right before she goes in – that can get her looking for your cue instead of looking at the line at the exit.>> I really would have loved to get a cross in at the exit of the #8 tunnel. But I couldnโt figure out how to do that.
Based on her ground speed and the straight tunnel… I bet you can get it if you drive in a little closer to the spot between 4 and 5 during that section of the opening… then basically stay there and send her to 6-7-8. When she is committing to 7, cue 8 and move into the blind cross – you will be up by the wing of 5 which is conveniently the 9 jump too ๐
Course 3:
Very nice opening on both runs!
When there is no tree in the way, you can set her up more on the left side of jump 1 for the lead out, so she has a straighter line to 2 ๐ I think you can also start running sooner – as soon as you make the blind, stay connected by run hard so you are closer to 5 and can show a decel/rotation sooner for a little more collection. You hesitated at 3-4 then took off, I think you can drive her through there with more acceleration.It is a hard weave entry from the wrap! Nice job on the 2nd rep on run 1 and VERY nice getting it first time on run 2! This is a place that I would also try the slice on 5 – it might be slightly more yardage but fewer turns and a faster weave entry, and should result in a faster line overall.
Question – on the release from the teeter on the first run, what word did you use? I did hear your push but she was already heading to the front. I have started using directionals as the release in situations where the regular release will expose the wrong side of the jump because the regular release has too much emphasis on the line relative to handler and/or front side of jump. It has helped the dogs get the info sooner and that way I don’t have to handle as close to the entry of the backside.
The other thing you can do on those is be moving before you release – so you are showing the physical cue to the backside and then release (moving releases are difficult in terms of maintaining criteria on the stops, so I only suggest it to people who are safe when playing with fire LOL!) It looked like you did this at 1:19 on the 2nd full run and she read it really well!
I liked your FC-BC on the 8-9-10 line!! I couldn’t really see why she dropped the bar, most likely an inexperience thing where she was all prepared for one thing then you did a FC and she said ‘wait, what?’ ๐
You got the first FC much better off the teeter on the 2nd run, but did a FC instead of a BC there and it was late, so she turned left out of the tunnel. Definitely a good spot for the blind ๐
As she exited the tunnel on the first run, the line of running before the entry was a very severe slice so she read the right as very tight – a jump cue sooner and you facing the jump more will help at :51. You were much more supportive there on the 2nd run and she did well, even after turning left on the tunnel exit.
She had the bar at :57 – you said tunnel while she was in the air, so it might have been a bit of a distraction? Definitely something to show her again – “mom might talk while you are over a bar, please don’t touch it, we give prizes for not touching” LOL! She was fine with it on the 2nd time through.
The double tunnel at the end -well, she was not sad about that at all ๐ And you did well getting the serp at 15 at the end! You can show even more countermotion as she is exiting the tunnel, try to get to the takeoff side as she is approaching it (and a wrap cue too but there is a lot happening there in that moment :))
Her head turns are looking really good, she is definitely showing us more bending through her front end and tuning her head!!! For the next step…. what does she really enjoy in terms of excitement on course – chasing you as you run? Chasing a thrown reward? Going to a tunnel or a high value obtacle? Using something super exciting as a reinforcement delivery – add more motion in the pop offs – you were starting to use that by moving in on the 90 degree line across the face of the jump, so now you can add more excitement. For example, if she loves to chase you – as soon as you see her turn her head before taking off – mark it and reward: you will be running on the pop off line and she can chase you for the reward. If that is not her favorite thing, we can adapt the exit line to include her favorite thing ๐
Great job here, let me know what you think!

KeymasterHi!
Thank you for my weekly zig zag update! I htink he is doing reall well – it is very musical and rhythmic! That is a good sign ๐
He did well on all the 12″ reps with you walking… the running rep was good but he couldn’t hold on to his balance and was a little ass-over-teakettle at the end.He isn’t quite ready for you to run full speed yet with 5 jumps… but actually that is fine because this is SO hard that it should really help the serp slices and backside slices.
So… on 3 jumps: Send him in as a backside send to the first jump (10″ to start, just to set up success).
I agree, the 14″ 3 jumps looked good!!!
> I thought the 4 jumps at 14โ was starting to degrade but I canโt see that looking at the video.
Yes, a little, nothing too dramatic. He might have just been fatiguing… it is quite a difficult exercise even for super fit dogs like Enzo. Were these reps done relatively in a row, with a play break in between? You might want to give him a longer break in between – something like 2 reps, then 60 seconds to walk it off, then 2 reps, then 60 seconds… I will ask the PT vet people what they thing – it is a plyometric exercise so I know it is good to give little breaks.
Let me know what you think!
TracyTracy Sklenar
KeymasterHi there! I am glad you got through the July 4 weekend, that must be a crazy time!!!!
On the videos:
First video:
These reps were actually pretty good, almost perfect! It is a hard move with a young dog (those backside blinds) because the handling has to be pretty perfect. The only tweak is that you needed more connection to help her – almost glaring at her ๐ You got her there nicely but as a youngster, she didn’t know what to do next. When she is more experienced, this handling will be perfect!2nd video – you were earlier on the first and 3rd reps and you made a big deal of the connection: perfect ๐
By rep 4 and 5, she totally had it. Nice!
On the 2 balance reps where you kept her on your left side (no blind) – you can add a verbal to it. Ideally, when we are driving to the backside like that (so close to the backside wing) we want the dogs to anticipate taking the jump, not passing it. So for the backside blind, I use a threadle cue. And when I am running past the wing and I want the dog to stay on my side, I will use a different word (here here as a bypass). That will help her know the difference between the 2,3rd video:
As you exit the BC 2-3 and run past 3, there is a bit of pushing in on your running line to get to the wing of 4 and she is reading the pressure (you don’t want to run into the teeter and jump 4 might be a little offset). Plus dogs like to turn towards the center of the course rather than to the outside – that might be playing into it as well.
When you gave a big rotation towards the wall on the 3rd rep, she did turn to the left! But she had a question about it (jumped up).
So, 2 things to try:
– When you do the BC between the tunnel and 3, on’t step in towards 4 – run past the wing of 3 and stay parallel, outside the wing of 4 – and try the wrap from out there! This is closer to what you did on the last video – you stayed parallel and she never considered rear crossing. She had a little question because you were pointing forward which breaks the connection a little – so you can try it with regular soft connection there (too much connection might be contributing to the accidental RC pressure).
– Also, if you do the BC between 3 and 4, she will switch to a left lead and it should be easier to get her to wrap left there.
Great job! Let me know what you think!

KeymasterHi Eileen!
>>Both Paps ran between the bars of the wing. I figured it was just my silly Paps, but then Ivan did it too. I never would have guessed that a 16 inch tall dog could easily fit through the wing. I fixed this by adding a bar on the floor and a second wing.>
That is so funny!! He was watching the Paps LOL!
On the video:
These look great!!!!Course 1: He was nice and speedy off the line on both runs, you are really engaging on the lead out!
Well done on the BC 4-5! You were a tiny bit late at :07 and :49 but it was still a tighter faster line there and also it set up a good turn at 5. You can use your motion and verbals to support 4 so you can start the head turn of the blind just after he lands from 3 to make it earlier.In the middle section, you got a little quiet especially on the first run – add in more yelling on the 9-10-11 section, don’t get too quiet, he likes the loud verbals ๐ You had more on the 2nd run but you can start yelling the tunnel cue really early to help propel him up the line.
On the 8-9 section: The BC 8-9 on 2nd run was late so it was wide at 1:00, as compared to the FC at :16, so much earlier and on a good line. Probably a comfort zone issue, meaning you are very comfortable with the FC there but the blind is weird ๐ As soon as he exits the poles cue the jump and start the blind. You can also move more laterally towards that wing as he is leaving so it is easier to get the tight blind.
At the end, after the last tunnel – You can accelerate into the wrap at :13 – the acceleration will help him not question the jump. You were taking little steps so he looked at you – he is so good at turning that the commitment cue in acceleration will be more helpful there.
Course 2
1st run – Good job with the GO GO GO into the tunnel! You can say your around cue while he is in the tunnel – you got quiet so he exited tight looking for you. The 4-5-6-7-8 section was great, the BC 3-4 looked great and you had a great turn on the send & right cue at 7! He read the blind on the tunnel exit at 8 really well! You can start it while he is in the tunnel even before you get to the position, that way it will be finished before he exits.After the poles you did a FC to a BC to a BC – it is indeed 3 crosses in a row there! The last blind should come as soon as he is heading around the backside wing, to tighten the exit turn. You were probably a little late due to trying to get comfortable with it.
Then the ending line looked great!2nd run – you had more go go go while he was in the tunnel and he went more ๐ which set up a better line to 3! Yay! He likes loud verbals so much ๐
The line to 3 set up a great blind to 4 and the 5-6-7-8 was perfect again. This time you started the blind sooner so the turn out of the tunnel was really tight and fast!And the 3 crosses were all earlier so you had a nice tight exit line at 11. YAY! You can do that section as 3 blinds in a row – basically it is 3 head turns and quick connections while you run: connect over your left, connect over your right, connect over your left. Wheee! Might be easier than the FC followed by 2 blinds.
Th FC on the ending line looked really great again! He *almost* missed the last jump, because when you said GO you looked forward & pointed for a heartbeat and he is very literal: he was going to go where you looked & pointed especially when there is a ball involved ๐
Great job here! He loves blinds and he loves when you are noisy on course ๐
