Hi!
He had some trouble finding the #3 jump here – you said go go go before he got in, but I think the ‘out’ is better verbal for him. And definitely throw the rewards so he doesn’t look at you at all 🙂 Nice job staying in motion when he missed it to try again!!The wrap towards you looked good at :57! Now, you owe him 10 cookies right now because at :58 you totally stepped out of the wrap and to the weaves, so off he went, Good boy! You gave him a verbal correction there but your step had sent him there, so you owe him10 apology cookies now LOL! You stepped towards the next jump a lot better at 1:06 and he didn’t go to the weaves 🙂

Aha! Look at :09 here – perfect timing of starting the wrap cues, right as his front feet were landing from jump 3. This was a wrap-towards-me and he did well with that, and sent back out to he line beautifully! That would be the same timing as the switch away, with the difference being that you would turn him away with your hands and step to the Rear Cross line with your feet.
Great job!
THi!
He found the out jump beautifully here too! Your timing was not as early with the verbals as it was in the previous rep, but still good!
The switch was still a little late: you did it about one stride before takeoff but it was still too late for him to set up the jumping – he tried but ending up dropping the bar. One stride sooner (landing from the #3 jump) should be perfect!

On this clip, you gave him the high energy out out out before he even entered the tunnel – and he stayed on his line perfectly! Suoer!!!
The switch cue was late at :09 (he was already taking off for 4) so try starting it (verbal and hands moving) as he lands from 3 and see how he does.Nice work!
TracyNice job on the first rep getting up to the #4 jump for the switch by not hanging out or decelerating near the #3 jump – that allowed you to get to a great position AND show decel and set up the turn. Super!!
He had a hard time finding the jump before and after the tunnel – he did well on the first rep when you were converging your motion towards it and later when you sent him to it. To help him find the jump and stay on the line, 2 things to do:
– lower the bar so it is easy and he doesn’t have to use any mental energy to get over the bar when you are behind a visual blocker
– throw the reward (he has MUCH LOVE for the momma an wants to be near you on course, so a throw reward will help you build up the love for staying on his line while layering 🙂 )
Great job!
TracyThis clip was the initial training to show him the jump behind the tunnel – very nice! On the 2nd rep at :44, you said “out” as his feet were landing from the previous jump: love it!! The next rep was a little later, so keep the earlier timing of as his feet are landing, you are cuing the out. You can also toss a treat or toy past the jump, so he doesn’t try to hustle back to you for the cookie by going over the tunnel LOL!! You can also say your verbals several times, not just once (out out out!). That won’t make much of a difference on a small sequence like this, but it will make a massive difference in supporting his line on the bigger courses.
Nice work!

Hi!
I consolidated these into your main thread, so we can keep them all in one place.He did super well here!!! You can give him the ‘out’ cue for the jump behind the tunnel sooner: as he is in the air for the jump before it, start saying out and repeat it a few times. He found the tunnel after it really well! And since he is a big dude that has to squish down to get into the tunnel, you can wait for him at the exit of the tunnel for a heartbeat, so you don’t get too far ahead – you ended up going past the layering blocker because there was no place else to go LOL!!
