Good morning! This looks terrific! Plus I love the name ‘sandwich twirls’ – it sounds like a cookie hahaha! I am also happy with how she turned with you on both sides – and then balanced it nicely with driving ahead.
Question: does she run through the tunnels yet? I think guessing she probably does (she is old enough…) If so, you can play this game with the tunnel: through a tunnel (you run while she is tunneling) – blind cross when she exits. Twirl – twirl! Then drive ahead back to the tunnel. Wheeee! It can be a fun way to teach her what to do on the tunnel exits and also when you want her attention on turn cues versus when you want her to drive ahead to a tunnel. I have some tunnel games coming soon, but figured I would throw this out for her 🙂
Great job! Let me know if the tunnel idea makes sense 🙂
TracyHi!
>>I think I have a different theory of what’s going on with the “wide” coming into the hat after some stuff we did yesterday. We played with the Opposing Motion without me moving and then we played with the Rear Crosses. I do totally agree that some of it is that he is yielding to the pressure of my movement – he definitely moves away from anything he feels is pressure, I see it in him in everyday life stuff (and actually that’s part of the story from when I got him). But after playing with the Rear Cross Game I think he’s also anticipating the turn and is setting himself up for the turn on the way to the hat…instead of driving straight to the hat and then turning. After you watch both of these videos (and I am going to put both links in this post as I think they are definitely both pertinent to what we’re talking about), let me know what you think?>>
Yes and no! LOL! I think there were 3 things at play here:
– pushing away from pressure of moving in tight to you
– setting up the turn a bit wider so he could make a tight turn without much slowing down (I call this ‘NASCAR-ing’ and sometimes it does indeed produce the fastest lines)
– late info on the rear crosses (plus the RC is a new and slightly weird skill :))It is all interesting to see because it helps us understand his natural strengths and what he will need us to train or show in handling. I love to see how the dogs set up their turns – many dogs understand exactly how to get the fastest lines without needing our intervention LOL!!!
On the videos:
the countermotion video was so interesting!! Pressure is hard! It was SO interesting at :33 when he was in his sit and leaning away even before the release! The long jump board was super clever! And he had several good reps then he came up with a different solution. HA! I love him. So, when working on the pressure, limit it to 2 or 3 reps and then do something with less pressure 🙂 I have more games coming that can help him drive in tight to you (serp and threadle foundation games) so we can build the love for the pressure gradually and across different concepts. He might indeed be setting up the best turn, or avoiding the pressure a bit, or both! Whichever it is – is it all good! My guess is when we add what happens AFTER the tight turn on a jump, he will be driving in more without pushing away.On the rear crosses – remember that you should still reward the hits even if he turned the wrong way at first. You can just toss the reward out on the line, no need to fix the turn then toss. Sometimes the pups turn the wrong way because it is a new and weird game (which is it indeed, especially because so far the entire frame of reference has been to turn towards the momma after the prop)… sometimes the handling is just late (like at :05 and :22. :36) For example, looking at the rep that starts at :21: you were not yet across his path when he was already turning to his left and a couple of inches form the prop, so he was correct to turn left. Now compare it to the rep that starts at :33 – you were pressuring the line earlier and cutting behind him when he was still about 6 inches from the prop – so he *did* pick up the rear cross turn thanks to the info being earlier. At :41 you were even earlier so he totally picked up the turn! Didn’t quite hit the prop on that one, but got the turn.
:54 was my favorite one so far: he is about 8 to 10 inches from the prop and you are already cutting behind him, so he got the turn perfectly. He got the RC on the last few reps – a bit of bowing out when you were trying to go fast but then when you slowed your motion down, he was able to get straight to the prop and turn the right way on the last 2 reps.
Nice work here!! Let me know what you think!
TracyGood morning!
She is like a large version of my little pup – barks when she hears the sit cue LOL! I think she is doing a great job of holding her sit here – she is excited for sure but *not* moving. She looks totally engaged but also holding the stay even with duration and distance being added in. She had two little errors – one where she took a while to sit (good job just waiting, you can also move to a new spot and ask again if about 5 full seconds go by and she doesn’t sit) and one where she offered a down (rather than walk into her, just call her out of it, move to a new spot and cue the sit again.Things to add now for your next session:
– as you move away, turn so you are walking away facing forward rather than backing away. This is a whole new picture, so start with very fast rewards so she can be as successful as she was here.
– Toys! Play this with a toy as the reward 🙂 Don’t make the stays too long as you start this with toys – the excitement of the toy might make it harder. But the toys will add the challenge of arousal, and it looks like she is ready for that 🙂
– Say your catch cue and *then* move your hand to throw, try not to do it simultaneously – that way she isn’t cuing off the hand motion. And when you throw , try throwing it lower – she is amazing at how she can catch it like a baseball outfielder LOL!!!!
– add in some releases forward to you, with your ‘regular’ release cue.With these added challenges, remember to also ping pong when you reward – after a hard rep, throw in an easy rep where she gets rewarded almost immediately.
Great job here!!! Let me know what you think!
TracyGood morning!
>>I swear I posted this yesterday but I obviously didn’t. LOL. I’m having some memory moments.>>
I 1000% feel this statement LOL!!!!
>>I used some different things for the wing wrap and also tried standing up. It was super hot that day so Fizz was a little blah. I really think this is coming along.>>
I agree, this is looking really great! And I love your creativity with the different objects, I literally snorted through my nose when the video cut to the fan LOL! I don’t know why I found it so entertaining, but I did 🙂
I don’t think he was blah looking here- it is a very chill game at the moment so he was just in a good state of chill 🙂 And even better that he did so well in the heat – it is so hard at this time of year!
Fizz was fabulous on his offerings – I especially love that he didn’t get stuck in the down at :25 when he was in the down for a moment (as you know, many dogs will offer and get stuck during shaping). The sideways cot at the beginning was easy, great job getting to the standing position! He had a couple of moments of coming between you and the fan but then he sorted it out. The fan is actually perfect for now turning perpendicular to you so he has a little more distance and I think he will be fine if you stand up with that one too. After you get standing, we can start to fade the cookie targets and shift the rewards to coming from your hands. More on that coming tomorrow!
And feel free to work this with 2 toys as well – the added arousal is good to layer in at this stage, because we will be building in more motion and excitement in the next couple of weeks 🙂>>I have a video of the blind collection go sandwich, I will edit and post asap. I still need to do more work with the send and rear cross with the target.>>
Great! Looking forward to it!!
>>I have a question, is there information in the zoom recordings that is not covered in class? I have such massive ADD right now I don’t think I can watch the whole thing. I don’t want to miss something but I also want to conserve my brain. >>
The games demo recordings in the Agility U classroom are actually longer/more extensive than the ones in the Zoom live classes – I edit those down for time and to isolate the games we are going to play live. So watch the recordings here on AU and not the Zoom versions.
The only difference is the trouble shooting when we work the puppies live – it doesn’t always go as planned hahaha! So you can always fast forward to the live puppy work if you were curious to see how it goes! And some of the Tuesday class participants are more experienced (either older pups and/or did a live online class with me in April/May) so I sometimes will give them crazier/harder versions of the games 🙂 Teresa with her JRT and her BW are two to watch for some of the more advanced stuff and also Melissa with Pirate, if you wanted to fast forward to watch for their stuff.
>>>I am loving the online class, I’m glad I didn’t do the zoom class part, it would have been too much for me right now. Covid has made things weird for sure. I hope you are coping ok.>>
I totally get it! An interesting thing about the Zoom classes that I have found is that other than the live working participants, people tend to pop in and out like they are watching sports on TV 🙂 Doing these classes and having 3 dogs under the age of 2 has kept me busy enough that I am mostly staying out of trouble (also known as staying out of trouble on facebook lol). We are coping OK here for now, just laying low and hoping that some day I can meet all of these puppies in person!!!!
T
That is so weird! Youtube must have done a switcheroo and reverted to one of the older videos – I remember seeing the first part and then jotted some notes, then came back to the countermotion. Thanks for reposting it!!
>>Still missing hitting the prop on some parallel motion passes even with me close (and he doesn’t cut in on is path, he just trots over it without touching it)
I think 2 things were happening here:
– the ball was VERY hard to stop watching 🙂 It might be slightly too high in value for this particular game? Sorting out the reinforcement process is a real pendulum sometimes LOL!! Always trying to choose the right tool for the task at hand – not easy with pups!
– also, he did have some really intentional interactions with the prop – the interactions one the parallel path will look different than the sends/countermotions. The parallel path won’t necessarily have a smack or pounce look to it. I think of it as extension on a jump will look very different than collection for a tight turn. So you can totally reward those intentional interactions, especially when he looked away from the ball and put his head down to the prop (and feet on/near it). That works really nicely for the commitment concept were are building here. You can also make the prop bigger, a wider playing field to hit while in motion, by putting the yoga mat under it for now (I recall you did this previously, right?) And it would be fine to hit the yoga mat near the prop for the parallel part, because the prop is really just a jump bar replacement that we are building commitment for.>>This is the 3rd short session with the RC – I often get a turn the wrong way before he spins to go the direction I headed. I’m having a hard time pushing in on the blind-cross line since I don’t have him driving ahead much either. But this time I did get 1 correct turn each way. >>
Yes, I thought he did well here!! RCs are VERY hard and personally I have never taught them to pups this young. When you are getting the wrong way turns, it might be that you are late cutting in like at :35 and :41. So, to help be earlier on the line, start him closer to you and further away from the prop – if he is already a couple of feet lateral and close to the prop, it is harder to show the pressure without running (and we don’t want running yet). Have him start right next to you (a cookie at your side will help this :)) and then you will be on that RC line much earlier to get the turns. You did that at :55, for example, and he got it right. Nice!!!!
>>(He has the start of some nice right and left verbals but I didn’t think I should use them here since we want the body motion cutting behind his line to indicate the direction change)>>
I agree with that choice – protect the new verbals like gold and only use them when the correct answer is virtually guaranteed 🙂 We will add them soon enough 🙂
Nice work here! Let me know what you think!
TracyOMG the box is brilliant! I loved how you turned it then moved it away. It is perfect because she really has to wrap it and I agree – she did a super job!!! She was thoughtful and accurate but also speedy.
This looks great, so on the next session: start sitting down like you did, then go to your knees/kneel (if your knees are OK with that) then go to standing up. Do it with the box nice and close to you, because we only want one element of challenge (position change) at a time. I don’t think this will be a problem for her at all!With the toys: as soon as she realized that she had to let go of the first toy to get the second toy, she was perfect LOL! Only one behind the back cheat moment 🙂 With the toys, you can let them both get ‘quiet’ and see if she offers going around the stanchion (I bet she does). That way the stanchion with toys will look just like the box with cookies! And if that goes well, you can move to standing up like you did with the box 🙂
Great job!!
TracyHi! She is doing really well on these! Very definite hits on the target!!! A couple of ideas for you (which will transfer to the jumps when she is on those, eventually :))
Bear in mind that motion is a distraction 🙂 So try not to do much running yet. She gets very excited when you run, and it almost always results in a miss in these 2 games. So, you have to pretend that you are very chill 🙂 And move at a walk or light trot 🙂 When you were tossing the treat way far away then moving back parallel to the prop at a quick walk, she was GREAT like at :50 – really great! And also at :27, when you were moving but not running, and had your arm low and back: PERFECT. On the reps where you were running or had your arm up high, she had a harder time 🙂 She can go fast at this stage but to get accuracy on the commitment, you don’t need to go fast 🙂
The countermotion is also looking really strong 🙂 As with the parallel path – when you wanted to run forward after the send, it was too exciting and she missed. But when you were a little slower moving away from the send, she was great! Everything else was strong (connection, mechanics, etc) so remember to walk through these for now 🙂
Nice work!!!
TracyHi there! Lots of good work on these!
Skills – as you get more comfortable doing the double blinds, you can start the 2nd one earlier, as soon as you see his head turn through the gap. He understood them perfectly and as you mentioned on the video – he totally knew where to go 🙂 On the threadles – you can add more motion now too – your feet will be pointing towards the exit wing, and you can walk to position and give the cue while yo uare still walking. The reward out there really helped and he did a great job with the default behavior there too!On the sequences:
At :58 and 1:11, you were almost perfect on the timing of that blind! You can anticipate it more – anticipate his tunnel exit so the instant you see his nose, you are saying jump and starting the blind. You can also stay in acceleration more – you were waiting a bit and it would be fun to see if he can get the commitment while you are blasting and blinding (I think he can :))2nd sequence – on this sequence, the jump after the tunnel is supported by your motion and connection after the blind, so you can do this blind while he is still in the tunnel (so it is finished before he exits). You started it after he exited at 1:27 and 1:41, which he read but I think you can send him to the tunnel from further away to get the blind sooner. That will allow you to not have to look back as much to time it on the tunnel exit… which allows you to get further ahead on the next line if it was a big course 🙂 You easily got there at 1:41, so you can just do the blind – it will feel crazy early but should be fast and fun!
Kramer looked FABULOUS!!! You did the blind here earlier with him… which means you can totally do it earlier with Ivan too 🙂3rd sequence: you totally did the blind while he was in the tunnel at 2:04 and look at the giant extension strides he took on the line! And you got to the backside really easily there!
4th sequence: At 2:21 you did the blind when he exited the tunnel, and I agree with that choice here – you were on a good path and if you turned sooner, you might have pulled him off of the jump. You were a tiny bit earlier at 2:35 but I loved your timing at 2:50: you were ready for him to exit, saw him exit and look at the line, and did the blind. Really nice!!!
Now this is a good set up to play with some higher bars – I see they are a bit higher already 🙂 On sequence 3 for examlpe, you can put the 2nd jump and the jump after the tunnel to 12 or 14 and see how he does! We don’t need to do a lot of reps at tall height, but we can start to slide it back in so we can get all the courses back to full height 🙂
Great job! Let me know what you think!
TracyHi there!
The opening is hard!! To get the blind cross on 2, you can angle the jump to soften the angle a little but also turn sooner – the eye contact/reconnection is what cues the jump (it turns your shoulders to the takeoff line) and is especially critical with baby dogs who can’t begin to imagine that such crazy handling exists hahaha! Pippin is used to it 🙂
The middle line looked good – try to reward her with the thrown toy while things are looking so good – she might lose her brain a little when she stops when something goes wrong and has to come back, even though you are good about rewarding her, she might get off kilter with that.
The middle line again looked really good at 1:26!!! You had a good decel, send and go at 1:29, but I think her lack of experience showed up there and she took the off course tunnel (she is still learning to read the decel and subtleties of lateral motion). For now, a strong turn cue like a brake arm or even a spin can get her eyes off the tunnel when she comes driving in on a big line.
I like how she came back and was all like “nailed it!” LOL!!
I looked like she loves her aunties/paparazzi 🙂 So you can do things like short lines passing them and big rewards for ignoring them – the easy handling can be down by them and the harder stuff can be further away.
Coming back around the big line at 2:09 – she is really looking beautiful there! You had a moment of looking forward at 2:13 so she read it as a blind cross and popped behind you (part of it might be the visual draw of the tunnel!)
Nice reward for finding the jump after the tunnel and ignoring the aunties at 2:25!Oooh, I liked how she handled the slingshot start at 2:41! 1-2-3 looked really good, and when you trust her on the backside at 2 more, you will get through there even more smoothly! And you will be able to get further ahead there too as her skill builds to get the blind 3-4. as you mentioned you did with Pippin. The RC works too, remember to get on the diagonal so she sees the RC pressure happening sooner – you’ll probably have to decelerate at the wing of 3 to set it up so you don’t get too far ahead: you ended up pulling to the right side wing of 4 so she thought it was a right turn. The RC was a little late so she pulled the bar making the turn.
Yay! She read the decel at 2;54 and did NOT end up in the tunnel! Good girl! You had a pretty obvious decel there and it helped.
The line to the tunnel looked really good, she is putting together some really lovely lines! On the backside after the tunnel, remember to stay super connected to help get the shoulders pointed to the backside line. You were facing forward a bit so she ended up on the front at 3:05. You helped with a little more step to it on the next rep, but I think your position at 3:05 was good – just needed a little stronger connection and less arm.
Good ending line!!2nd video – the opening line is getting smoother on the slingshot! You were a little in her way on the landing of 2 at :08 – she can probably get that backside entry more independently so you can be further across the jump. Your movement through it was great, she just caught up to you really quickly because you were close to the entry wing 🙂
I thought your rear cross pressure at 4 was definitely earlier (:11) but she says it needed to be one step earlier 🙂 You can start putting the RC pressure on (running towards the center of the bar on 4) as soon as she lands from 3 and looks to 4.
LOVELY collection on 6 at :16!!! She read the decel/send really nicely! Great reward after that.
Good job with the backside after the tunnel! You can give her the right cue before she enters, which will give you time to switch to the backside cue. Nice connection on the backside send!
The ending line was almost perfect, she just needed a bit more connection to get the jump before the tunnel, and a go verbal (or a jump verbal) – that will all get easier as she gets older!!Well done here! Let me know what you think!
TracyHi! This looked really good! And he is grabbing the food really fast!!! Loved it! He likes the food bowl LOL The 2nd rep was fine to stop and play, he ate the cookie so fast that you didn’t have a moment to be ready haha!!
I think he is enjoying the collection sandwich here: driving in, turning fast, and anticipating the drive ahead. Good job with the toy throws, perfect timing on getting him driving ahead while the toy was still moving. Yay! Now that he is feeling the wind in his hair and eating the cookies so fast (that is a BIG deal!), you can add in more rewards for the collection: cookie in the hand for the turning with you. Then, you can throw the toy and run run run 🙂
Great job! This is a game to take different places so you can help build focus in new spots (and you can use a long line if there are places where it is not safe for a puppy to be off leash)
Great job!
TracyHi! I think he is doing well on the parallel path! The throws were a little late so he had time to look up at you, so it is a good challenge to throw the treat even sooner.
If you think the hits are too incidental, you can raise the cap up on something so he has to step up a little on it (tape it to a book maybe?). You can also put an empty food bowl out past it on each side (a few feet away) so he has a target after the click so he knows where the cookie will end up and drive to it rather than look at you. I am not worried about the looking up, these are just ideas so you know the hits aren’t incidental – they looked pretty intentional to me. Plus, with the parallel path, it is less obvious of a smack when he is continuing straight, as compared to the countermotion 🙂
Speaking of countermotion – he did well here! I liked his speed on reps like at :50! Feel free to mix in tossing the treat back to the prop as you leave on these to keep that value high so he zips out to it like he did there – when the cookie was moving forward more, he was not as excited to go to the prop. So, we can mix in the reward on the prop as you leave 🙂
You mentioned RCs but I don’t see any on this clip? Maybe I missed it but I did watch a couple of times to see 🙂 When you rear cross, keep rewarding the new direction. If he is not reading it, you might also be late cutting in behind him, so start further back and cut in when he is still a foot or so away from the prop.
Nice work here!
TracyHi!
Yes, transitions in and out of toy play are one of the hardest parts of building and maintaining play! It was wise to leave this game along until you had unlocked the key to better toy play.
One thing that I think is critical to remember is that *we* think the offered sit or down is play… but the pups think it is work! So one thing I recommend in the toy play is that you avoid the rhythm of tug-release the toy-work (pup must offer something to get the tug back). Lots of letting him win the toy (yes, makes for very short sessions, but that is fine) as well as lots of giving the toy right back to him when he lets go of it will both help to maintain the high toy drive. So while he did really well with offering and squirrel avoiding here, you can see that as the session progresses, he is not as interested in the game (which speaks to reinforcement value, if that makes sense). So shift the ratios a little more when using the toy, to more of him having the toy and less work needed to get the toy back: tug tug tug release-toy tug tug tug release-toy sit tug tug tug throw toy. You will find that the sit improves, yes, but the toy play will improve LOTS as well. With pups that ADORE the reinforcement we are using naturally, this is still important but not as important as when the reinforcement is lower value. For example, he loves food, so you can have more “work” (sits) in the ration when food is involved. My little pup prefers toys over food, so I can have more work in the ratio when I am using the toy but less work and more party time when I am using food 🙂 Let me know if that makes sense! I figure we can digress into this because his stay understanding is looking really good so it is more about sorting out toy play 🙂
THi! I think he is definitely thinking of the prop, not just going back and forth with you. Watch his head: definitely looking at and looking for the prop!! The first minute of the session was really good – mostly good hits, some GREAT hits, and a couple of very-close hits. All worth a click. After about a minute, he lost his train of though a bit but then he ended with some good ones so it is possible that the session was just a little too long (I know, a minute doesn’t seem long, but he is so young). He really only had one moment (around 1:15 I think) where he was watching you and not considering the prop at all – then he got back on track. If you want to challenge him, put the prop on something that raises it up a little but so he has to step up onto it – this prop behavior is so easy that he can do it and look at you, so raising it makes it a little harder 🙂
You can also test to see if he is thinking of the prop by adding more distance away from it, laterally – start with it closer to the wall so you have more room to move over. Do 2 or 3 passes close to it, then move further away for a couple of passes and see how he does.
One other thing to note – since we are working concepts, I am not too worried about the perfection of the foot hits 🙂 So all of the GREAT hits and really good hits are fabulous! And the very clear “didn’t try to hit” moments didn’t get rewarded, which is perfect for this 🙂 Great job!
TracyHi! OK, I am watching this officially now and not just for cuteness on facebook hahaha
I love how she can go back and forth between cookies and the toy, such a great skill!
You mentioned the rollerblading effect – we can teach her to sit into her rear more (and not slide on past) with some subtle tweaks:
The blind crosses are looking really good in terms of your connection (and you are generally awesome at rewarding across the body, I think the first one had dog-side arm but the others were across you). For now, to help her stop and not run past the toy, you can present it sooner and then let it stay in basically one spot (rather than dragging it forward) – you can wiggle it to keep it ‘alive’ but leave it in one spot long enough that she can lock on and slow down to grab it rather than run past. It was moving a bit too long so she went past it because she is a baby Whippet 🙂 When she is a little older, you can keep it moving more. You did a rep after the first toy race where the toy got low and it was exciting but wasn’t moving forward…. and it looks like she was able to grab it and not roll past it. Yay!Toy races are so cute they are distracting LOL! I had to rewind a few times to be able to form a sentence. I think she is running past the toy because of the pressure of the handling (you moving forward). Some dogs bow out away from handler pressure, some dogs sniff, some dogs just accelerate in a butt-tucked manner – I think that is what she is doing here. I love that you are down on the ground with her, you are a good puppy momma! So staying down on the ground and “running” forward on your hands and knees, we can build in the handler acceleration more gradually: throw, let go, like you did: but just lean forward and see if she can go directly to the toy and grab it, instead of past it. That will let us know if that is a good starting point (or too easy or too hard). If it is too easy, we can add you moving forward but not as fast, yet. If it is too hard, we will soften up the leaning. She will let us know!
Also, you can try with a different type of toy that is more easy to grab – I use a higher profile holee roller toy with my pointy dogs. I have a huge want for the older bippet and a smaller one for the tiny pointy: the holee roller sits higher so the pups don’t have to reach down as far when they are driving to it, making it easier to stop and pick up (and both are attached to longer toys for ease of tugging). Or you can use several toys tied together to make a ‘mound’ of toy that she can grab easily. Let me know if that makes sense!Lovely work here!!!! She is doing beautifully 🙂
TracyHi Lori! He is adorable and brilliant!!
Great job on the rive to handler. He was super good about getting the thrown cookie (of course haha) and then you were great with the presentation of the collection hand. He was nice and tight to your leg on all of the turns, which is exactly what we want. My only suggestion is to get your hand in a little lower for this game, so he is following it while looking downwards rather than looking up – that will promote even better mechanics when he moves into a turn over a jump, eventually. He is little so you’ll have to bend more to do that, I feel your pain 🙂
You can definitely add more motion to this now – throw the cookie further so you can run away, and that way he will see you run then decelerate then turn. I think you can also add in the week 2 game with the blind cross element too!Very nice work on the prop sends! I love your prop, I thought it was a real turtle for a moment there LOL!!! The paw hit was very clear – the hardest part for him was ignoring the cookie in your hand to send to the prop (he wanted to look up at the end hand). If there was a cookie in the send hand, you can help him ignore it more by sending from closer to the prop. And, to add more distance, you can send with an empty hand and reward with the other hand. If there was no cookie in the send hand, then start closer so he can look down to the prop more so we can get more of those terrific foot hits. I think he is ready for the sideways and backwards sends too at this point.
Bowl game: I think he enjoyed this a lot LOL! He was brilliant, picking up the back and forth easily. Definitely add in the upright to go around, starting the game the same way with the bowls. The upright can be nice and close to you for now and then, if he is happy to go around it, you can push it out away from you gradually (that can happen over the course of a couple of sessions).
Great job on the blind crosses – nice connection and excellent reward mechanics!! He is ready for more motion on this one too – as he is going to get the tossed cookie, you can start to move away – when he eats the cookie, keep moving, do the blind and then keep moving so he chases you 🙂 You can start by walking but I really think he will find that very easy, so I bet you can go to running very early on in the training session. Keep up thse great reward mechanics.
Lovely work here!!! Honey 14 weeks old…. he is a rockstar!!!!! Well done to you for setting him up for success 🙂
Tracy
