Hi!
Looking at the RC video, I think I can see why she was slower and asking questions – it had to do with the verbals and the line that supported them.
For the verbals – only use the GO if you are going straight, not if you are doing the RC. Otherwise it delays the turn info:
The go cues do not indicate a turn or lead change, but the left and right cues do. So you can be running up the line using the left or right (without the Go) for the rear crosses and running to the center of the bar. For the Go, you can be saying go go go and staying outside the edge of the wing of the jump.

You can see at :06 if you run straight saying Go then hop into the left rear cross at the last minute, it is too late for her to pick up the turn cue. She got it at :16 and :21 with the MM out here, and also go it at :43 and :48 but that is where she was slowing herself down to wait for the full info (not really trusting the Go).

So for the rear crosses, you can run to the center of the bar like you did really well at :30 and :36, using the left and right verbal only, and save the go for the straight line reps.

On the Backsides:

>>I had to really figure the ball reward on the backside. I’m sure I’m doing the backside wrong. I’ve never been good at them or taught how to do it.>>

You are doing a greta job here! There was a little connection blooper on the first rep but you fixed it with much clearer connection on all the other reps – so nice!!! And then it was a matter of getting comfy showing her the wing, moving away as soon as she passed you, and also dropping the reward for her. She looked rally strong! This is a hard skill and the dogs can’t do it if the handling is unclear. Her excellent responses indicated clear handling 🙂

Great job! Let me know what you think!

Hi!
I bet Steve was a happy bind cross helper LOL!!! It takes a bit of practice to get the mechanics but it is worthwhile!

The set point is looking good! You can leave a little more in the videos when you edit then, mainly so we can see her exiting the stay to make sure she is organizing her front feet. But this looks to be the sweet spot of the distance and the toy dragging went well! You can add in a bit more height on jump 2 here and there in coming weeks (no rush on that) and we will definitely use this distance on the longer grids (like the ladder grid).
Great job!

Hi! I am excited that you will be at the seminar!!!

Wind In Your Hair:
Good connection on the wing wrap exits ! You can add a lot more acceleration to this game and I think the acceleration will smooth it a out . On the Go reps – show him full on acceleration so he really sees the permission to accelerate (you don’t need to hang back near the start wing because we aren’t setting up rear crosses).

That way when you add the decel, it looks totally different. You were tending to run at a medium pace for a bunch of reps so he was not sure in the first part of the video. When you switched sides, there was more transition from fast to slow (like at 1:18 and 1:35) so you got both the commitment and the collection – those were really nice! Compare that to 1:45 where you didn’t have acceleration so he never committed and came off the jump when you turned. And on the last rep, there was not a lot of acceleration so while he did go to the jump, he was asking questions.

So I know it sounds counterintuitive to accelerate into the tight turns, but the acceleration is an important piece of the commitment info and also helps him see the decel when you want the turns.

On the Get Out video:

>>First rep I used the wrong wrap cue (I’m not sure the ones I chose are really working for me, but not sure what to do about it now).>>

Yo can change them if you don’t like them – do they feel awkward?

On the go straight lines you can run more 🙂

On that 3rd rep, I couldn’t really see why he froze, perhaps wondering what the cue would be because running past a jump with nothing out there was weird? He was definitely drawn to the jump. That is my guess, based on how he went to it at 1:12 and thought about it on the other go-straight reps where you didn’t cue it

The get out sends looked great! You can totally add the advanced level blind as soon as you see him departing for the jump – he seemed very happy to commit to the get out jump!

Great job! Let me know what you think!

Hi!

>>With set point should I push it further?

You can leave it at the sweet spot distance and eventually the bar will go up, and it will also he the first interval for the other grids like the ladder grid. So other than the dragging toy, not much to push further for now 🙂

>>I think she’ll like me spreading the wings out more. I really liked how engaged she was and feel she was more carefree and fast outside than inside!>>

Yes, she definitely liked it!!! Spread it out so you can barely keep up with her 🙂

>>Today I worked on the verbal for weeks vs tunnel. Bit of a cluster. Obviously need to work on wrap verbals more!>>

I think she showed a bit of a tunnel preference for now LOL!! No worries at all – in the next session, start with the wing further away and help with handling. For example: hold her collar, say the wrap verbal a few times, and then let go. And when you let go, do a front cross. And do the same with the tunnel reps: hold her collar, say tunnel a few times, then let go and turn towards the tunnel. By saying the verbal a few times before the handling, you can help her learn the verbals while also setting her up for success. That will also make it easier to fade the handling eventually.
Great job here! Fingers crossed for more good weather!

Good morning!

OMG look at the baby lambs! So cute!!!! She did a great job ignoring them!

You were smart to use treats, since that was high enough value to compete with the lamb distractions. And at one point there was a plane or something, and some power tools – she was so focused! Most adult dogs would not be this focused. She was super!!!!

I think both sessions were lovely. I have just a couple of ideas for you about the little details:

First video – she read the serp versus tunnel versus threadle cues brilliantly! Good girl!

For the serps, you can reward with opposite arm next to tunnel for serps so she ends up parallel to the bar (facing where the next jump would be if there was no tunnel there :)) and you don’t move backwards away from the jump to reward her.

And it is totally fine to help with your hand on the tunnel cues 🙂 You mentioned something about helping with your hand but I think all of your tunnel cues were great.

Threadles – she read these really well too!!! One small detail: try to keep your feet straight and only rotate your upper body when you give the cue, rather than stepping back. Ideally, we will get her to understand the threadle so you can just run forward, yell the verbal, and do. The arm movement. She is going to be really fast so we are going to need a lot of running forward and minimal rotating 🙂

2nd video:
Your Serp reward placement was good here, note how she was parallel to the bar and tight to he jump, without you moving back at all. You can drop your serp arm back a little sooner as you release her, so she comes in more directly on the serps.

Add in some stay rewards because sometimes her attention wandered to lambs and she broke the stay. I could see the steam coming out of her ears because she was concentrating so hard!

With the Threadles you were strong about not stepping back wards on this side! Yay! So keep having your feet face forward as you cue the threadles.

And all of your tunnel reps looked awesome.

Since she did so well, you can start adding motion into all of these – slow walking through the cues: as you walk into position, your upper body is already showing the cue, then release when you arrive in Serp position (for the serps) and in threadle position outside the wing (for the threadles 🙂 And you can cue the tunnel from anywhere 🙂

Great job!!! Let me know what you think!
Tracy

[Tracy Sklenar]

Good morning!

This feedback is boring. It was all great! I think your feet were really good (pretty straight on all reps) and your throws were good –
She seems to think the get out was insane at first hahaha but you did a great job affirming her decision to look at the jump by throwing the toy.

And notice that by the end of the session, she was able to run to the get out jump (:53) without losing her ability to stay on your line when you wanted her to follow your line. And the blind cross at the end looked great! She was surprised by it because it was new, but she did a great job reading it.

So for the next session, you can add more speed to your running line and also more distance between the wing and jump so she has further to run on the get out cue. Great job!!!!

Good morning!

>>Agility U tote bags!! >>

We can do some crappy tote bags that don’t carry anything but are perfect for foot targets or rear cross practice hahahaha

Sorry about the crappy weather!!! Y’all need to winter in the south 🙂

On the transitions:
Because of how these baby dogs were trained, you will not need to add pressure to the takeoff point at all to get the tight turns (yay!). So that means the transition can be done from the outer edge of the wing – don’t move in towards the bar or where the bar meets the wing, as that might add rear cross pressure and also blocks her desired takeoff point (next to the wing). So at :02, :13, :24, :35 , :41, :46 you pressured in towards the takeoff spot so she had to go to the center of the bar to shape the line around you.

At :07, :19 your line was better (straight towards the outer edge if the wrap wing) and so was her turn 🙂

:For timing…. Your decel can be sooner and more obvious 🙂 This means her seeing you accelerate out of the wrap wing – then when she has finished the wrap wing, do a big decel as you keep moving forward. That will both cue better collection and allow you to rotate sooner. You were a little late on the decel (she was more than halfway to the jump) so she was not as collected and she can be. You can see it particularly on the left turn wraps where she is turning on landing more than before takeoff.
So, she should be seeing acceleration as she is finishing the wing wrap, so you can then downshift into decel but keep moving forward as you decel. If she stops short, it is likely because you decelerated AND rotated all at once.

The straight line on the get out looks great! She never looked at the off course jump unless you asked for it. She also did a great job finding the get out jump when cued! Try to stay in motion, more like what you did on the 2nd get out rep. You were wanting to stop and turn your feet to the jump like at :20. You kept moving better on the last 2 get out reps, but keep your feet facing along the lottery line leash as your upper body cues the get out, so you don’t have to change your line or speed to get it.

Great job here! Hopefully the forecast is WRONG and you get some good weather 🙂

Good morning!

He was great here! He seemed to have no trouble at all, sorting out the difference between the ‘front’ and the threadle side/turn aways. And I am glad you added the the verbal!

So, a few questions for you:
Is your check check your threadle slice verbal, or threadle wrap verbal, or both? With current course trends in mind, I think we need both nowadays – one verbal for treadle-slice and a different one for threadle wrap. Doing these on a wing will set up the threadle wrap, so. That is the applicable verbal here.

And, since check and and choo both have the ch start, you can emphasize the ‘eh’ in check for the threadles and the ch in choo. So it would sound more like “chehhhck chehhhhck” and chchchoo for the wraps.

And one more thing, looking ahead to putting these into the bigger courses 🙂
For the threadle wrap turn aways, try t keep your feet facing forward the whole time and not rotating towards him or sideways. Basically, your footwork/lower body will be identical to what you do on the forward sends to the wraps – you will be further away from the wing, but you can still have your feet facing forward. The upper body does all the heavy lifting here with the arm cues and verbals. I think the best example of feet moving forward was at :42 – you are cuing the turn away on the wing and not really turning your feet until after he gets to the wing and turns his head. Perfect! Eventually that will turn into you being able to keep running forward to the next line while he finishes the threadle wrap.

Great job here!!! Have fun if you are trialing today!

Good morning!

>>It was her very first time working outside and I chose to use our unfenced field. I did not lose the dog! Yay!>>

Being outside for the first time and having a focused puppy? That is a HUGE win!! Super!!!!

Wind in your hair – she was awesome! She seemed to have no trouble transferring her indoor learning to her outdoor area 🙂 YAY!!! She was totally judging you when you started with the easy stuff (walking) – she liked it much better with the running LOL!! When you reward – keep moving as your throw, stay in forward motion til she arrives at the toy so she doesn’t see any decel on the go lines.

As you added more speed, you can stay closer to the start jump til she exits it. That will help you set the line and also help her drive ahead more and more.

Smiley face also looks great! Part of the this game is figuring out the connections she needs. You can use more direct connection on the tunnel exit at :04 (you were looking forward a bit so she zigzagged behind you). It should look more like what you did at :18, that was lovely!

At :20, she took the correct tunnel entry but did it from behind you. That was a connection oopsie too – If you freeze the video when she goes behind you at :20 after the wing wrap, you will see that you closed your dog-side shoulder forward. Try making a clearer connection by reaching your dog-side arm all the way back to her nose, so she can see the front of your chest.

At :29 I think you said left and she turned left but then you were like “oops, it is a right” hahaha I am not sure if she truly read the left turn cue or if she was a little distracted but either way, no worries 🙂 you got her right back and she was great.

Gorgeous connection around the race track int at :33- :37!! Then a baby dog moment of missing the tunnel, that running past it is like a baby dog rite of passage LOL They all either run past it or run on top of it as some point when they add speed like she was doing here.

And awesome connection on the race track to the right too on. The last rep! She looks super!

When you are able to take this game outside again, you can set it up with more distance between the tunnel and wings, so she can run even more and really open up her stride.

The set point looked good at 45, 48 and 51 inches. I think 51 inches is going to be the sweet spot – 45 looked a little short. 48 looked good too, but when we get the reward further out ahead, the 51 “ spot might be the best form and reach for her. She did well with her stay here but you also didn’t push it 🙂 So on the next session, you can lead out further so you and the toy are further ahead, and you can try the dragging toy as well – that can really help encourage the form while adding more challenge because she has to organize herself while the toy is further away (rather than just chase it :))

Great job here! Let me know what you think!

Good morning!

>>So far at the trial we have had some great results (no Qs, but close) and I have learned a lot.>>

I agree – these are GREAT!!!!! The NQ moments in JWW and STD were mainly because he was SO FAST that you didn’t quite get connection in one little moment. I will take a dog being so fast and so focused that the handing is a little harder 🙂 He was lovely and I am glad you just continued on rather than fix things.

I love that you got all of this video! Your videographer was great 🙂 I just love how helpful she was here!

Looking at the videos – I think the tricks outside the ring looked great, he was PUMPED up with the leaping and barking! Yay! And he seemed fine to run without reinforcement visible. Super!

Two things to add to your pre-run routine:
– pattern games. If he is wanting to sniff, add in the pattern game where you put the cookie on your shoe then let him offer engagement and look up – the another cookie on your shoe. That will help him stop sniffing and you will also be able to keep the leash loose rather than pull him up by the neck. He did a lot better in the loose leash moment!

– engaged chill 🙂 When you got to the ring too early or something weird happens, you can use have a chill moment where you can he can take a breath and think about the run. Then when you are within a dog or two of your run, you can go back to the volume dial tricks. I love. The barking and leaping 🙂

>>he person who just completed her run is hollering for her dog’s collar. I put the leash back on and attempted to engage him. Lesson 1: I realized that we should have left the ring as the delay was longer than I imagined that it would be. >>

Oh Lordy I am sorry that you were all set up on the line and then had to leave the line because there was some chaos. He had such a great line up going!
But that is why we have a big tool box of stuff – you can do some tricks and stuff on the line in those moments, or leave the ring and reset the game to re-enter.

I think he held things together nicely on the start line, missing the jump was more of a handling/disconnection oopsie.

>>Lesson 2: I left his reward on the concrete barrier outside of the ring. When he left me, I believe he was headed to the reward. I changed the placement of the reward for subsequent runs.>>

That is a possibility – I thought perhaps it was related to the chaos of the other dog at the start, but it could have also been the reward station spot because his next 2 runs were amazing.

I loved his JWW run. Nice leaping in the ring at the start line for a bit of cookie-free volume dial, and lovely, connected lead out.
GREAT run! I am really thrilled with his focus and speed!!!!!

Standard –
You can definitely add engaged chill outside the ring because the pre-run was 2 minutes straight of tricks, you both looked tired LOL! The tricks were all really good but that requires a lot of work and no real moment to relax and think about the run.

>>Note to self, make sure that the leash is not tangled around his hind leg!

Ha! There was a lot happening: the leash tangle, the big dude leash runner… But he was so in-the-zone that it didn’t matter, he was still brilliant. That is what we want!

He was amazing here – I think he found a new gear of speed after the a-frame and you didn’t quite get the connection fast enough. I love how you just kept going. So the good news is that he just needs more strong connection in those moments for the Qs. His times were phenomenal!

I am also SO HAPPY with his focus: between the reset in FAST, helping the other handler before Std on Friday, the ring crew people looking really different…. He had a LOT of distractions that were ne for different. And you used your toolbox effectively for some truly fabulous runs.

>>Another plus, he never sniffed in the ring! Amazing, especially after not running on dirt for over 2 years!>>

WOW!! Dirt is stinky 🙂 and he was GREAT about ignoring it all.

I am doing a little happy dance here for ya!!!

Are you trialing today? It will be interesting to see how he holds up when his brain might be tired 🙂 If not, what is next on his calendar?

Great job here!!! And please send extra thanks to your videographer 🙂

Tracy

[Tracy Sklenar]

Perfect! Keep me posted about how she does at 4.5’ 🙂 Have fun!

[Tracy Sklenar]

OMG this looks GREAT!!! I am doing a happy dance!!!!

>> I ran with the food ball in my hand … and made up my own course within the course. I also decided that I would start him on the tunnels so he couldn’t sniff … and he was awesome.

Yes!! You made these into the NFC Step 1 (just like home) and that was great because we need to shift his opinion about being in the ring. We want him to know that being in the ring is THE BEST FUN and I think you accomplished that here. YESSSSSS!!!!! Having the empty food ball helped bridge that gap – I mean, he knows there was no food in it because his nose is amazing but it helped support his focus and he terrific.

>>>So my question is … should I have set him up properly ie in the middle position before the tunnel … I just sort of came in and let him stand where he wanted and ran. i didn’t ask him for a behaviour.. I thought it better to just let him go.>>

Yes, you were brilliant. Starting at the tunnel without a long stay was great. Also, note the BIG moment on the start of the 2nd run – you got to the tunnel, took the leash off. He totally offered engagement immediately and held it for quite a while! Note how he continued to look at you (no sniffing) while you put the leash out of the way (which used to be a problem, yes?) and also while you waited for the ring crew to tell you to go. I am MOST excited by that moment of him offering engagement like that!!!

>>Also .. I will keep doing this for a while .. but when will i know when to take the ball away … and maybe place the food ball on the reward station?>>

Yes – at competitions, we will keep this up for a while as the other stuff gets trained in more distracting environments. You will know when you can bring more into the comps when he has a longer history of high success with the empty hands (NFC step 2) and the reward station in practice/seminars. So be practicing this separately (at home, classes, seminars) and when it is very easy for him, we will bring that into the competition environment.

Before his runs, what games did you feel helped him be happy and relaxed?

Great job here, I am so happy for you both!

Good morning!

>> And this may seem obvious, but I think I need to get her to choose me over the environment by giving her the choice and rewarding the right choice>>

There are a lot of layers to this, it is not just a choice thing. Yes, in some places more impulse control in terms of choice will totally help – but we also need to work through the anxiety and limit the environment and a few other things – see below:

>> A similar situation has occurred at home when she has sneaks out under the fence and goes to explore the neighbors yard where there is garbage and all sorts of shit. It was very hard to recall her back to the house.>>

There is a definite self-control/recall element to this – probably not anxiety. But, also, it is a GREAT opportunity to limit the environment until the self-control and recall are so much stronger that a) she doesn’t go under the fence and b) she can recall away from anything. This will help in agility but is not the full problem-solver.

>>My thought is to put some very low value crumbs on the floor and let her have at it but then call her to me with a much more high value reward. I would work this and begin to eventually create some latency.

Yes, this is a good game, and it will also help you learn toy control the environment more – start it with a closed container of food and maybe even she needs to be on leash in your house for this. And not a bunch of crumbs – just one boring cookie with no crumbs, really splitting the behavior. To create the ‘low’ latency (fast response) you need to limit the environment.

>>>This is actually similar to a game in Recallers called Cookies in the Corner which involves throwing cookies into the corner while you restrain the dog, release to the cookies and then get them to chase you after they eat the cookies. Here it’s not so much about the chase and I want to have a hierarchy of reward.>>

Right, these games are all good and will strengthen the recall and to some degree, strengthen ignoring smells in harder environments. Totally do them!! Because yes, her recall needs strengthening.

However, these games are operant games (making choices) and are a very small element. The bigger piece for Skipper and agility is the anxiety and avoidance she shows – those are creating the moments when she is leaving or sniffing. Tackling the underlying anxiety will make the operant stuff MUCH easier!! That is where you will want your pattern games to be AMAZING and also the off leash engagement to be reflexive for her. Those both hit on the underlying anxiety.
And, she told us unequivocally on Friday that she hates hates hates being picked up in the middle of the agility run – so when you need to stop and chat with an instructor, don’t reach for her, just put her leash on and reward. That was the root of the sniffing because she was avoiding being picked up (plus the wet gross treats were better). She doesn’t mind it as much before the run, but you can also walk her in. The problem with walking her in is that she has anxiety around the people and dogs outside the ring, and in that context carrying her in seems to help. But either way – the instant engagement will totally help.

So yes, you can play the recall games and should play them, while limiting her access to yard freedom so she cannot escape under the fence (the more she does that, the harder it will be to get a recall on her). But also work the pattern games in new environments, the off leash offered engagement, the instant focus, etc – those hit on the underlying issues which make the recalls much easier to train.

Let me know what you think!

Good morning!

>> Jamie had Fever in the pool. I released Roulez from expen. Her focus object on the ground close to expen, not quite in view of pool and fence between us, cheese in my hands. She ran to fence barking, I stayed where I was and said nothing. After a few seconds she ran back to me, made eye contact and rewarded her. She stayed next to me but would look in direction of pool and back at me. She did this a couple of times. She then gave her focus to object and we interacted and rewarded – 10x? – then put her back in expen.>>

This was with the instant focus object that was in the previous video? If so, did you do the steps where you take her to a new environment and, on leash, have her enter the environment then you place it down, then see if she can instantly focus? It sounds like she had a lot of trouble with the instant focus element here, probably because putting it in front of the pool and having her off leash offered too much access to the environment in a location where she is used to running to the pool. So make the environment easier for now- it doesn’t have to be Kryptonite-level until she can do it in regular life such as coming out of the car then seeing you put it down and immediately interacting. Then when she can do that, it goes to the object already being in the environment for her to focus on – and when she is really strong with with, the game can start to move to the Kryptonite level 🙂

>>Next Fever pool time. Took her out of expen on leash and moved to fence, in view of pool and Fever swimming. Only asked for on leash and then off leash engagement with food in hand. She had to work through her arousal to be able to focus. it didn’t take her long to get what was supposed to happen.>>

Awesome!!! Next steps are food in pocket then after that, on a reward station.

>>3rd session- No Fever in pool. Lineups and release to pool. Started out with food in hand and made the mistake of moving too quickly to food in pocket so had some frustration on her part.>>

Yes – I think part of it is the conditioned response of using the toy as the thrown reward into the pool. She has a looooooong history of the pool and the toy! So she found the treats to be a bit lower in value – you can keep using the treats with the pool Kryptonite, but no need for the toy right now as it presents two high level distractions. Also, the line up position is pretty new, so when you were trying to start it a little differently in the face of the toy and pool, she struggled a bit. So, keep the set up procedure the same – the cookie toss into the line up position. Separately, you can start to fade that out but not with the big distractions out in front of her 🙂 And you can use the toy as a reward but as a tug-with-you reward, not necessarily a thrown-into-the-pool reward.

>>When I tried the same way with Roulez, I got so much frustration barking, I didn’t know how to move forward so stopped trying. Fingers crossed that adding these steps, I might have more success!>>

Yes, small tiny steps with help!!! The other thing to remember is that the pool is a distraction…. but you do not need to use the Kryptonite-level distractions as the rewards. The rewards can come from you! For example, a Kryptonite level distraction for my dog is watching the other dogs run with the frisbee. So I can use it as a distraction because it can simulate the trial arousal – but I don’t need to then release the dog to go chase the other dogs with the frisbee. Same with the pool – you don’t need to use it as part of the reinforcement process each time, because it can bring arousal way up and also the expectation from her is that the release will incorporate the pool 🙂

Nice work here! Let me know what you think!

Hi!

The order of festivities is important!

>>f I bring him in the yard on leash and work my on leash engagement games, these are good. The second I let him off leash, he will run to the pool and slip through the fence. He WILL NOT swim without me. Although he does just enjoy obsessing over the pool.>>

Two leashes 🙂 That way you can condition the engagement when the leash comes off… while preventing him from leaving to seek reinforcement in the environment. And a zillion reps of off leash offered engagement in other places so it rally becomes like a reflex.

>>This sequence of events tends to really frustrate me.

Completely relatable! It would drive ne insane. And the answer to something that drives me insane is to control the environment more while I train what I want. In this case – 2 leashes will do it. Then eventually you won’t need them.

>>If I bring him in and work engagement and then go to the pool or just start directly with a swim, I have a much more attentive dog.>>

The problem is, as you have seen – if you don’t do that, you don’t have an attentive dog. And he rehearses leaving for the pool. Plus it takes out the opportunity to use the pool as reinforcement. So you are in a bit of a deficit with it because of the pool coming before the work, but it is such a great opportunity to work through a really challenging distraction while also using a great reinforcement!

>>How should I shape this better because it’s obviously is our kryptonite.

Control the environment more and get work before pool, so the pool is both the distraction and reinforcement (and only reinforcement sometimes, so you are not relying on the pool as reward).

>>That being said, I can get him to work without the first swim, he may end up in the pool area but no swim.

Leaving to obsess on the pool and swimming in the pool or basically the same behavior 🙂

>>It does just seem like more of a fight and I don’t like to get frustrated because then I’m a crap trainer >>

You are not a crap trainer at all! I think it will be a hard switcheroo because of the reinforcement history, but it will be your crowning achievement in training!!! Being able to use the pool as a distraction/reinforcement and NOT a starting point will make a significant difference in your training 🙂
