Hi!
>The set up was probably not ideal as I used the wings in position for jumps in a sequence I am working with my other dogs, but he coped pretty well.>
It worked great! And it saved you time because you didn’t have to reset again for your other dogs. Yay!
His commitment is looking really strong here! And yes, it I hard to stand still LOL I normally don’t recommend standing still but this exercise really builds independence on the sending 🙂
You had really great connection on the tunnel sends as he exited the wraps – it looks like you were looking right at him, pretty directly. He drove to the tunnels SUPER fast and with complete focus, not having to look at you at all.
Your connection on the sends to the wing was more peripheral, with you looking ahead more – so while he did go to the wing, he was a bit more careful and had a few questions.
For example at :16 on the send to the wing, so he slows down when he exits the tunnel and goes a little wide to see what the next line was because the connection was a little unclear.
You can see it better when you changed the camera angle: at :42 and :57, you were looking ahead at the wing on the send so he looks at you, curls towards you and slows down, then goes back to the wing when he sees it.
And I think he has a lot of value for the wing wrap, so his questions/slowing down are more about being sure about where to be and not about loving the tunnel more than the wing LOL
So to eliminate the question, you can ramp up the connection by looking right at him as he exits the tunnel and you start the send. That will get even more speed to the wing!
Great job here!!

Hi!
Her plank work is looking great! She is driving into position really well (and independently of your position and motion) and it looks like she is loving getting into her 2o2o position. Super!!
When she got on from the angled entry, she did get on a little sideways on some of the reps, which is fine because she had to extra balance herself there!
For turning around –
>So turning on it probably isn’t as productive as it would be on a normal size plank.>
Actually, it is perfect for this because she really has to balance! If she had a lot more room, she might use more of the plank to turn around. On a smaller plank, she had to work the balance more and she did really well 🙂 It was still challenging for her!
Only one suggestion: hold your cookie hand lower so her lower jaw/chin is parallel to the ground. That will help her balance even better. It was a little too high here, so she was reaching upwards which made balance harder.
For both games – you can elevate the plank! For the entry/2o2o game, you can elevate the end she gets on (and the target end can still touch the ground).
For the turn around game, you can put something under each end to elevate it.
What you use to elevate it can pretty much be anything that is a couple of inches tall and relatively stable – yoga blocks, paver stones, cinder blocks, or anything else you have around to use.
Great job here!

Hi!
In both of the games here, he did a great job thinking his way through the games! Yay!
He was really good with the mountain climber game: thinking about how to get up the board and balance including turning around, without falling off LOL! He will continue to grow in confidence when he is successful like he was in this session. You can also use super high value food (I like to smear cream cheese at the top of the board :)) and do super short sessions to leave him wanting more.
He also did well with the lazy game! If he misses a jump, you can keep going rather than bring him back to get him to take it. No need to even mark the miss – the non-reaction when he misses versus the BIG happy reaction when he gets it will help him seek out the jumps. He was finding them all really well, so you can spread them out to add even more distance. The goal is that he can eventually do this with the jumps 25 feet apart or so : )
Great job!

Hi!
I think it went great!!! I am extremely happy with how well you are helping her be able to adjust and run brilliantly in all these different trial locations: OTR, Fusion, Animal Inn (I think she ran there?) and Dog Dynasty. She doesn’t seem concerned about the environment when she is in the ring and is running super well! And it is even more happy-making considering she had a rough night with the fireworks.My only suggestion is to run more and use less arm to show the line. At :33 to :35, you had your arm out and that kind of blocked connection, so she looked up at you and ticked a bar (not sure if it dropped or not).
Keep your arms down and run run run. – that shows connection really clearly 🙂
You did that on the ending line and she got it really well with a ton of speed!!
Great job! Hope you have a relaxing rest of the weekend!

Good morning!
The coursework went really well! The opening looked really good (nice job waiting to release him til he stopped looking at whatever caught his attention).Looking at the German turn – the line you ran at :43 was your best line through there (countermotion past the exit wing). You can tell him about the push sooner (when he lands from the previous jump is the latest time to start saying it and showing it). And we can help him take the jump when you show all that countermotion:
For the German, the blind cross doesn’t have to done til after you pass the exit wing and after you are sure he is taking the jump. So as you move through the line you were on (it was a good line!) you can look at and point back to the landing spot (as you move forward to the takeoff side). Then as he locks onto the jump bar, you can do the blind. We have some very specific games coming for this in the next games package to really pump up the independence and understanding of the countermotion.
2nd and 3rd times you were still on the landing side for the blind so he took the bar and it did put you a bit more ahead, but you can see him looking at you as he was getting ready for takeoff as if he was saying “get out of the way!” LOL He slowed down to let you move off the line. But with countermotion ,you will be out of the way sooner and even further ahead
You were out of the way sooner at 1:23 so easily got the blind and the slice line on the backside after the tunnel. Yay! And he did not judge you for being in his way LOL
Nice layering at the end! To set it up without as much decel on the line, you can stick closer to the 17=6 backside then drive him to 17 and into the layering. You decelerated on the jump before the layering so he collected ore than we needed him too – but then he went back out to the big line and big extension really well. GOOD BOY!
Looking at the threadle wrap video:
The push wraps looked great!
>I did the push wrap successfully except that I added the blind cross after >
Adding the blind on the push wrap is good, we often do a bind on the exit of these.
Looking at the threadle wraps:
>And then with the same side threadle wrap we didn’t get it which kind of surprised me because he has gotten this one in class and seminars before, but here I think it was a combination of my feet and bending over too much and also just not enough space.>
I agree, I think it was just not enough room to set the line. On the threadle wraps, you need to turn your feet away from the jump and turn towards parallel to the line he needs to be on to take the TW line – the wall prevented you from doing that here 🙂 So you can take the other jump out and just use the wing jump and the tunnel, moving the wing jump over to be more centered on the tunnel so you have more room to set the line.
On the 3 reps here, you did point your feet and shoulders to the bar so even when he looked at you, he saw cues to the bar so took the front side. I am sure that adding more room will let you set the line more easily.Great job here!

Hi!
This is a HARD course and you & Roux did a great job! One thing that was consistently strong throughout was your connection. You’ve gotten REALLY good at staying connected, which helps her sees the lines and helps you get the timing. Yay!I like that you tried several different options for the different lines – it builds the toolbox of handling moves and helps us see which is the fastest line for her.
It was a really technical course, so there were some bloopers. Be sure that after an error, to keep going and maintain the flow – you stopped her a lot here and the errors were all handler errors – she was responding beautifully! Staying in motion affirms that she was correct (even if we don’t know why she was correct in the moment 🙂 ) and stopping tells her she was wrong, even if you are praising her. And if you stop too much, she gets careful and slows down, which we definitely don’t want.
Plus, staying in motion gets yo auto think on your feet, which is a useful skill for trialing where you won’t be stopping and can still get a Q or win even with a small blooper 🙂
Looking at the course in sections:
Nice lateral lead out on the 1-2-3 line, she read that brilliantly each time!
For the first few runs, you did a slice on 3 – that sets up a harder line to the tunnel and the RC on the tunnel entry put you a little behind for the hard 5-6 line, so you can get up the line faster by doing a FC on 3 to get her on your left for the tunnel. That will give you several strides of getting ahead of her.
She turned left on 3 at 1:26 because you did cue it as a threadle wrap accidentally by turning your feet and stepping to the wrap wing! After in the session you did try it as a threadle wrap –
The 3-4 line worked well as threadle wrap for a better line to the tunnel entry (it is a bit straighter) and an earlier departure to go deal with the 5-6 line. You did the first threadle wrap at 2:24 but it was not clear to her so the bar came down… keep going even if a bar is down, that is usually feedback from her that you were late.The threadle wrap went a lot better at 2:37 because you had earlier cues o she set up the collection really well – you can exit it on your left side (doing a blind cross) so you don’t get as far behind to 5-6.
Looking at the 5-6-7 section: good job working out the timing and position to get the her to the correct side of 6!
You were a little late on the first one so she got the tunnel, but then you did a nice set up for the RC at :30 and :48 using your arms without rotating your feet set up the RC on 6! Nice! When you had too much foot rotation then pushed her back to 6, she ended up on the backside of it.I love that you went for the blind 5-6 at 2:42!!! You were slightly out of position so got the backside of 6 but got one step further ahead at 2:58 so it went well. Exiting the 3 jump with her on your left so you don’t have to do the RC on the tunnel will make it even easier.
Another option there is to layer the 8 jump by sending her to 5 after the tunnel and moving across the landing side of 6 and flipping her away to the tunnel. That puts you in a great spot for 8-9-10!
Looking at 7-8-9-10-11-weaves:
Good job working out the timing of the cues for the tunnel exit. If you are late, the turn was wide (like at :51) but letting her see and hear the cue starting before she entered got a nice turn to show her 8 there and the next line went really nicely!The BC on the exit of the 7 tunnel at 3:00 went well – your verbal happened before she went in and the BC was effective for changing her line. You can probably give her a little less room for the 9-10 slices there to smooth it out, but she read the rear cross on 10 really well.
When she is weaving, you can be lateral but don’t get quite as far ahead. If you are parallel to her as she exits but not ahead, it is actually easier to get her to the 13 tunnel while layering because you can accelerate. If you are too far ahead, you ended up decelerating so she took a step toward you at 1:57 and 3:13.
Nice job getting 14 backside as a slice to 15 tunnel to 16! That worked perfectly the first time.
At 3:17 you were trying to get the backside from the other side as a threadle – you called her and she came towards you but then you stepped back to the jump so she went back to the front side (again, don’t stop!) You can use your threadle slice word and swing your dog side arm back to help her come in on the line. At 3:26 you tried it with the opposite arm but motion overrode the arm as you were moving forward, so she took the front of the jump there too. She got the wrap on the next rep with much clearer cues – and the decel helped too because it brought her in to the correct line and set up the wrap. A threadle slice there might be the fastest line because it can get her to the tunnel on the straightest line 14-15-16. But your original plan of pushing to the backside and keeping her on your right worked REALLY well!
On the last run: Super nice BC on the exit of 15 to get the backside t 16, followed by another really strong blind 16-17!
You can consider doing a push wrap on 16 rather than sending her around the outside for the slice – it is less yardage (more of a straight line) from the tunnel exit to the wrap wing and less yardage – so you can try both and we can time which is faster.
Ending line – the first time through there, handling from landing side of 20 worked but she had questions. On the next rep though there, you did a did a blind on the landing of 19 and that worked well too! She was a little slower because it was the end of the session and a little fatigued, and she might have been being careful. Another option is to send to 18 and do a FC 19-20 That puts you further ahead so she can chase you to the last jump.
Great job here!!!!

Hi!
>Not complaining, but between the fireworks, rain and the heat it is hard to find time to train outside.>
Feel free to complain, it has been a hard summer so far!!! Rain and heat and rain and heat. Boooo 🙁
Seq1: great! Lovely!
Seq 2: great! Also lovely!
Seq 3: This was harder because you were rushing a bit, making your cues too early, so she was reading you correctly. Good girl Indy! I am glad you were rewarding her because she was correct!
Run 1: the BC was too early which pulled her off the line. With the distance on the 2-3-4 line, you have plenty of time to get up there and support 405.
Run 2: you tried to get there even earlier so at :38 when she was at 3, you disconnected and turned away. So she correctly changed the line and came towards you and missed 4.
She didn’t see the new connection after the BC well enough, so definitely add exit line connection there:
It will make all the difference!
Run 3: you were even earlier to disconnect to head to 5, so she turned and took the tunnel after 2 🙂
Run 4: you were not rushing and supported each jump on the line: nailed it! Same on run 5: SO NICE!! And you even got a really nice tight collection on jump 6!! This was lovely!
Seq 4: this went well too!
Run 1: bar down at 3 as you did a big high arm send into the layering. You kept the arm low on runs 2 and 3 with clear connection, and she had no questions. Excellent adjustment!The end line at 1:29 is a blind then a threadle slice. You did a blind at 1:29 but then leaned forward (rather than opened up your arm for a threadle cue) so she pushed to the other side of the jump. On run 3, you had a more obvious threadle there: standing back and opening up back to her rather than pushing forward. Question: do you use the opposite arm for the threadle slice cue? If so, make it higher by putting it up across the your body at shoulder height. If not and you use the dog side arm, you can take the opposite arm out and really swing the dog side arm back 🙂
You did a backside wrap on run 2 and it worked great!
>One thing I noticed by layering I felt I lost some accel/decel motion and that got me in trouble. Looking at the videos, I feel like I am moving at one speed. >
These sequences did not require a lot of decel or motion changes because there really were not many tight turns! The only one that required it was on jump 6 of sequence 3 and you did great job here!
Nice work! Let me know what you think!
Tracy
Hi!
>My arms do tend to get too high and too flailing. I need to keep them either really up or low. I think I am still panic running trying to get to my spot instead of handling. Indy reads everything well and gives me instant feedback.>
One way you can be more aware of where you hands are is to run with an open water bottle in your hand:
It is FUN and perfect for hot days when you spill water all over the place LOL!
>Good idea on teaching a wrap on the wing and to not to go into the tunnel by breaking it down and having me be closer. That’s a hard skill for her to discern at this age, and I’m not even sure if it’s a fair question to ask at this point.>
It is a totally fun game! We start teaching it to the puppies at about 10 months old (wing versus jump). Just break it down and reward a lot, and she will love it 🙂

Hi!
>Due to having a trial July 11 12 13 next weekend and being part of the committee, I needed to get in as much as I could of Pkg 2 for Camp this weekend.>
Sounds like a busy week ahead!!
> I chose the Jumpers courses but needed to build them a little differently >
Good for you for building around the a-frame and the pole! It sounds creative but it worked!
>Mookie handled both the tight areas and the sending without an issue. >
Yay, good boy! He has really mastered the balance of working tight and sending on a distance line.
>Alonso did well with the sending but really needed extreme focus from me to handle him through the tight Course 1. >
That makes sense that the younger dog would need more help with the balance. It will be easier for him as he gets more experience on these crazy courses 🙂
>The trial I am going to has ISC courses I am entered in so these 2 jumper’s courses really prepared us for that.>
FUN!! I bet you see lots of layering and lots of tunnels under the dog walk!
>Both dogs struggled from a stopped position to find the tunnel or poles at first. >
Being stationary is HARD because the dogs are so used to us moving – so the dogs are waiting for body language cue to help out.
>Mookie then realized what I wanted. Alonso got the jump and tunnel but not poles but the poles were hard to see as I had them straight on. I should have angled them slightly.>
Good boys!! And I am sure Alonso will figure out how to find the poles with you stationary.
>However, when I sent them around the wing and they were in motion both dogs found the jump, tunnel and the he weaves right away.>
Super! Be sure your motion was neutral and not helping in any way 🙂
>I did set up a sequence for Buddy in my backyard from Course 2, (7 8 9 10 11 12) and he did well. He also got the discriminations with movement going around the wing. Buddy is retired from agilty and only does nosework but I like to include him when I can 🙂 >Yay Buddy! He was glad to show off to his brothers LOL!!
>Tomorrow it will be 90 degrees and muggy, so I am glad I could do early outdoors training today 😊>
Yeah, it is going to be gross. It seems like it has been a HOT summer already!
>My problem is that I may run out of air myself to run the 25 obstacle type courses 😊>
Use your distance and layering so the dogs do all the running and you have an easy time 🙂 Keep me posted on how it goes!
Have fun! Thank you for the update!
Tracy
Hi!
>Honestly, when I looked at the package 2 full courses, they are definitely above our paygrade so the popouts make more sense for us.>
The pop outs are designed for the less experienced dogs to work the skills and concepts but not have to work the ginormous courses. These are perfect for him! And the bigger distances also looked fun!
>One last question, does the build look ok? I’ve got another ring rental tomorrow and marked the jumps with chalk so I can easily rebuild it.>
Yes! Looks good to me! And it was smart to mark it for an easy re-build!
Looking at the pop outs, overall they went really well! Your connection and handling choices were spot on! He had some bar questions and after watching all 3 videos, it comes down to timing. Here are specifics:
Pop out 1 – the runs went great, super connected! Your handing choices were good too and he was reading the lines really well for the most part.
You did a FC on 5 for most of the reps and on the last one a post turn – I think the post turn worked the best because he saw the decel info sooner and it put him on your left, which was a better line to the tunnel.
He had some bar questions on 4 and 5:
On jump 5 at :15 and 1:27, the bar came down because the wrap cues started when he was in the air. You kept going and that as great! As he is landing from 4, start your decel and the rotation should be happening for the cross before he takes off for 5.
At jump 4 at :57 and 2:10, you were you were late moving away so he didn’t know how tight he had to turn til he had already started the jump. So you can start the FC and be on the way to the next jump before he even gets to the wing before takeoff. Definitely don’t stop for a dropped bar – it shifts the error to him but in reality, he needs the cues sooner on the tight turns to keep the bars up.
You can also keep moving past the last jump, as if there is one more jump to do. If you stop too soon, he ticks that bar so staying in motion will help keep it up.
Pop out 2: also super nice!
The bar came down at 1 right at the beginning – he thought you were going straight then you turned after he took off.The forward focus helped him see the jump better and one step to it on release really helped!
He had bar question at 3 at :47 and 1:53 – the shoulder turns were late so he didn’t get the info til he was in the air.
He has a bar on the last jump at 1:04 didn’t know you wanted the jump because you said good boy, decelerated, and turned away – he ended up dropping that bar. Much smoother line there at 2:10!! Nice!!!
Pop out 3, another nice set of runs!
Very smooth and fast opening line 1-2! He got the backside at 3 nicely when you had the good line of motion and connection.
You can give the RC info sooner at :44 (bar down) by driving to the center of the bar more directly. Getting him on your left arm before that jump so you didn’t have to rear cross works great!
On the backside after it at :46, you said the backside verbal but all the physical cues were turned to the front (feet, shoulder, arm, connection) so he took the front. The same thing happened on the last run. Keep going there because it was handler error 🙂 and when you stopped and didn’t reward, it can be deflating to him. Keep going so you can reward the fix the blooper n the next rep. Then you can fix the blooper in flow. You gave a better cue to the backside so he got it nicely on the next rep!
So for the timing: when you were giving the turn info when he was exiting the previous jump, he got it right every time and kept the bar up. SUPER!! But when you were late, you ended up surprising him over the bar and he was trying to adjust in the air, so the bars came down.
As you plan your handling, try to plan the timing of the turns (wraps and post turns in particular) so it almost feels early 🙂 He should be seeing the info no later than landing from the previous jump, so he can adjust before takeoff and keep the bar up. And if you are late and the bar comes down, think of it as him giving feedback that you were late 🙂 and keep going to reward later on the sequence.
Nice work here!!
Tracy
Hi!
I think this went really well!! She was running happily and you didn’t have to work hard at all! Super! That is what we want: she runs and finds the lines and you don’t have to run as hard LOL!The sends went well too – she was able to drive to the middle jump AND collect for a nice turn – your timing and connection were good because the cue was in place before she landed from the previous jump.
And your verbals were solid too – different sounds and pitches make it easier for her to process the differences.
So I don’t have a lot of feedback of things to try differently because it all went perfectly! You can expand the distances as much as possible and see how she does with BIG distances. We add more to this set up next week so you will have more challenges to add 🙂
Tracy
Good morning!
>I was super focused on getting my feet in the right place but somehow Taq and I were not communicating. Cricket did it all with no problem.>
Yay Cricket! And Taq did well too! It makes sense to me that the baby dog would have trouble with this – these darned threadle wraps are trained skills more than they are handler skills. What I mean by is that you can handle it perfectly, and she might not get it right because she is still learning it. Notice how the demo dog was my 5 year old dog and not my 2 year old dog LOL!!
Overall, she did GREAT, your feet and line were strong, and there is only one tweak to add: decel! There is a decel element to the threadle wrap.
As you begin cueing the threadle wrap, decel into the cue. That will help her read the collection and it will keep you from getting too far past the threadle wrap jump. When you were a shade too far past the jump on a few these reps, it caused her focus on your position and motion more, and less on the threadle jump.
For example: on a few of the early reps, you were moving too fast and got too far past the jump, so she had questions.
On the rep at 1:05, you were on a good line, not too far past the jump, and you decelerated into the cue: she nailed it!Compare to 1:12, where you got the blind and set the line but kept driving forward past the jump – so she turned to it but then was unsure if she should take it or follow your fast motion. On the next part of that sequence, you added decel (1:23) and she got it! Yay!
Same at 133 and 1:43: decel equaled success!
She had a question at 1:52 – the decel as late.
But at 2:04 (last rep) decel was perfect because it was part of the cue.So to be able to get her to do them more consistently, as you start the verbal and hand cues, remember to slow down. And remember to remain decelerated until she gives you ‘permission’ to move again by turning to the jump and taking the first step in the wrap direction. That will make it easier to get the blind cross on the exit too!
Nice work here! Let me know what you think!
TracyGood morning! The mosquitos are the WORST at this time of year!
>He’s learning the layering, as I’m seeing some improvement there. >
YES! He did great and that makes all the mosquito bites worth it 🙂
The course work looked really good!
On the first run, I think he didn’t take the #1 jump and was convinced the first jump was 2 is because your hips/shoulders were facing the 2nd jump more. I think he was looking to his left too! So you can angle yourself to be facing #1 more and see how he does (and see if he will glance at it before the release).
Showing him the jump at 1:21 really helped and it looked like you were ever-so-slightly more angled towards it in your shoulders, so he took it beautifully on the release there.
Even without a lot of momentum, he layered 2-3-4 really well on run 1, which allowed you to show the backside at 6 easily and then the line to the weaves look great! He was great again with the layered line on the 2nd run!
On run 2 at 1:43, on the 7 jump he considered turning to his right for a rear cross for a moment. He ended up turning to his left but he had a question. It was because you decelerated and rotated at the same time, which could look like a RC but your position looked like a FC so he watched you for more info. You rewarded there which was great!
The next rep at 2:02 was a definite rear cross/tandem turn with clear cues, and he had no questions. Fast and tight! Nice!
At 2:04 it looks like you were trying to layer the line to the weaves, but you were decelerated and trying to send without connection, so he was not sure about the first jump on the line but went and took the next jump which was about 6 miles away. Good boy! Good reward there!
He has made a lot of progress with the distance work! More connection and less arm will help him find the first jump too. And strategically, you can stay closer to the jump before the layering so you can accelerate him into the line, rather than decelerate and send. On the last rep, you did stay closer so you can start the go go go verbal as he lands and accelerate towards the line.
The weaves are looking like he is feeling good again: fast and snappy!
You can set a better line to the backside after the weaves by using a German turn at :40 (not quite enough connection on the 2nd to the backside on the 2nd run he ended up on the front, the skeeters were probably being by then) On the German, you can push to the backside like you did, then run forward past the exit wing with countermotion and do a blind cross. That gets you ahead more easily to handle the jump after the tunnel. You did a FC on the landing side which put you in his way a little on the first run (you can see he went wide around you to the tunnel entry) and a lot at the end of the session, so he ended up off course! But I love off courses with Reacher – it means he is driving his lines and going for it. SUPER!
So if you use the German turn instead and by getting ahead more, you can do a blind on the tunnel exit and send him to the slice line on the jump. I think you were trying to do a RC slice there, but you were decelerated for too long so he read it as a wrap before you moved across for a rear. Nice job continuing though!
You got a little disconnected at :50 so he didn’t take the jump – you were a little far from it to support it without connection, so he looked at you with a question. He was also probably not expected MORE on the course, it is a long course LOL!
And for what might be the first time in his young life, he saved your bacon at :56 and went out to find the layering jump!!!!!!! WOW!!!! At :52 you sent to the jump but pulled away sharply to get the layering. That would ordinarily pull a dog off the layering line due to the motion. But At :53 you urgently said “JUMP!” So he went back out and found the jump. HAPPY DANCE! TRIPLE COOKIES FOR REACHER! Young dogs really don’t save us, ever, so I was super proud of him there!
Overall, a really great session and he worked hard through it all. Huge progress in the distance work! And yes, the heat and bugs make the sessions harder but even if you ended the course work after about 2 minutes, you still made big progress!
Great job!
TracyHi!
>Sure did matter which direction my feet were pointing!
>This is SO TRUE, especially with younger dogs.
She did really well here! The first couple of reps with the threadles wraps both looked good! The backside slice and backside circle wrap also looked really good!
When you put together the bigger sequence:
This is where setting the line to the threadle wrap made a big difference. At :44, you were pointing your feet to the front of the bar, so she took the front. Your feet ended up pointing to the front of the bar because you opened up back to her too much when you reconnected after the blind which rotated you to the bar too much.
Compare to 1:00 where you set the line to the threadle wrap perfectly, so she had no questions about which side of the jump to go to.You had a similar question on the bigger sequence at 1:58 (where you rotated back to her too much and ended up pointing your feet to the front of the bar). Compare that to 2:18 where you set the line really well with your feet pointing to the parallel line to the threadle side of the the jump. and she knew exactly where to be 🙂
For the threadle wrap: You can call her name sooner (before she enters the tunnel, as you start the blind) but then switch to your treadle wrap verbal when she exits the tunnel so she hear that sooner.
She did have a question about continuing to the bar there as you moved forward at 1:02. You can look at the landing spot as you keep moving past it but more importantly: throw the reward for it to the landing spot behind you, rather than reward her from your hand. Throwing it behind you will get even more commitment to help her commit even as you keep running through 🙂
Great job here!
