Welcome back!!! I have such fun memories of you and Dora 🙂 I am excited to meet little Roy – he must be SO CUTE!!!!!
Have fun!
TracyWelcome! Hooray for Papillons! She sounds like a blast!!
You will see 2 Papillons show up in the demo videos here 🙂 but they were born in 2012 and 2014 respectively, so I don’t have many foundation videos of them. Keep me posted on how Poppy is doing with the games!Tracy
Welcome! I am glad you are here!
I don’t think 10 months is behind at all – PoweR will have a little more physical and mental maturity, so he can really power through the games pretty quickly!And I understand the struggle with motivation – our main goal is for you and PoweR to have a GREAT time playing together, then the rest will come easily 💓

Hello and welcome! I think it is fun that you kept littermates 🙂
> They are 7 months old. I’m not sure how I’ll be allowed to post or ask questions on both girls. Not sure if there’s a partial purchase for the working spot/live spot (if any are left). I’ll be working primarily Ignita, as she’s my focus. Astral is technically my husbands, but I’m doing all her training.>
We’ve never had someone with 2 pups in MaxPup! But we can handle it the same way we do for the CAMP classes:
– there are no more spots in the live classes, but you can alternate pups (work Ignita on one game, work Astral on the next game, then Ignita on the 3rd game).
– questions about pup #2 are totally allowed
– to post videos of pup #2, you can add a working spot for the 2nd pup for $100.Let me know what you think!
TracyHello and welcome!
To start a thread, you can scroll down to the bottom of the forum page – it is basically like starting an email (same form). Then we keep replying to your thread, so it keeps all of your stuff in the same spot 🙂Tracy
Hello and welcome! I love the unique name 🙂 Is that Gruffudd in the photo? So cute!!!! I am excited to see more!
Tracy
Welcome! It is super fun to see you here!!
I didn’t know that your Tribute is half-sister to Brandy’s Katniss – that is so fun! I am excited to here more 🙂Tracy
Wow, what a great run!! He was so fast and focused!!! SO MUCH to be proud of and excited about!!! Was this at Dynamic Dog Sports? I *almost* went to it, but just couldn’t get my act together in time. Sorry to have missed you!
I am very impressed with the layering and blinds! Yay! He continued straight out of that last tunnel because you showed forward motion and no turn info before he went in, so he was being a good boy. Great job with rewarding and continuing if there was a blooper! It looks like he had a grand time 🙂 His only questions were when you were pointing with a high arm ahead at obstacles, because it blocked connection and turned your shoulders away from the line you wanted. So a fun challenge would be to run with your arms always pointing to his nose and never higher than your hips. Did I ever show you the magnet fingers video? If not, here it is:
Great job here!
TracyWelcome home, little InkDotWhiteSock LOL!! She is a cutie 🙂
No worries about anything except settling in and some good sniffy walks for at least 72 hours after she gets home. And there is no need to load the clicker or add a marker yet – you can just see if she can eat treats from your hands (all words get added later when we know what will happen :)) And when she will eat treats, the pre-games are great for adding a marker: she touches the thing, you say a word, then you deliver a treat. Super easy for you both!
Have fun 🙂
TracyWelcome to you and Cartwheel!!!!!! Cartwheel is a fantastic name, I love it!
I am excited to see you two play these games!
Tracy
Hi!
Yay! The little guy is getting the layering concept! This is definitely a mucho bueno session 🙂 It shows us that he did learn stuff even though you didn’t love his last session. Latent learning!
He was incredibly successful here – well done to you for cueing him clearly! There was only one blooper that I saw: exiting the wing wrap at :32 you didn’t cue the tunnel very clearly and definitely turned away from it as he was exiting the wing, so he followed you shoulders/feet.
Compare to :37, very clear tunnel cues got him right into the tunnel.
I was doing a happy dance when you did the balance sequences. Those are designed to balance working tight to the handler versus layering – he was excellent when he was seeing the balance (left and right to follow the line near you with super nice blinds, versus the layering like at :54 and 1:12. Your cues were very strong to get him onto the layering lines and he blasted away with no questions. YAY!!!!
Great job here!
Tracy
