I love your portmanteau word, lurely. That helped he he
Here we are working on the back side slice. I don’t think he’s heard this cue in months so i started close to the wing.This was a terrible session. My mechanics were terrible and i didn’t always reward the baby for my nonsense.
But this is why you’re here… to make me better.
Oh yeah no idea why i kept drifting into an rc behind him when i wanted him to go straight.
Also!! Happy Getting Older day! Love your tee shirt.
Here we are doing some rear crosses at club. I had some lovely focus from the baby and some great work. I did right turns first cos they’re easier for bebe then some left turns
Get out! He was amazing only fluff up happened when i was rubbish. Started on his right so easier. But he pulled it off both ways.
today was only a minor severe weather warning… heheh So between squally showers I did some lap turns. It took me way too long to realise that I needed to be much closer to the wing because it has been a hot minute since i asked for lap turns, and i’m pretty sure this is the first time I’d asked Bazza to lapturn around something (there was probably a game earlier … but i missed it).
I was really proud of how he coped in the weather… more accidental proofing! I mean we run in the rain and wind here (we might call off a show for a state of emergency…maybe).It’s been a while cos Thursdays are in the office days and then I drove off to judge on Friday spent all weekend judging and then drove home. Monday was also an office day and it’s getting dark too early to train after work. 🙁
While away I tried a little zig zag on saturday night after a lot of judging, I’m not sure why it was all going so horribly wrong. I think i was late cos I was tired. But any tips would be great!
(Here’s my Jumpers A from the weekend, everyone seemed to enjoy it, the discrimination challenge at 13 defeated many)

As always, thanks for your great feedback!
I did the layering exercise from last week today. I was dubious that I’d done enough value building for the jump to pull this off…. but he did great.I see all the failure as my inability to connect properly. I didn’t reward one rep early on, but on video my connection was late, I thought he connected with the toy rather than my arm …which he did, but only cos I was late and I knew when I did it that it was my fault so should have given him a reset cookie. He’s being pretty cute with taking the wing before I ask… so I called him back and tried to keep it fun.
Then i did just a little bit of the jump after the tunnel just to see if he wanted to jump it now. 🙂
Here I am doing the diamond down at club. I was super proud of myself for not over training. haha I did three small sessions with breaks in between. (It’s always a temptation to just do a little bit more cos the gear’s out).
My focus was on keeping my arms down! And I mostly pulled it off. I’m still struggling to get away earlier. But one thing at a time.
The first session is short cos I couldn’t figure out my body haha.
Second session I manage things a couple of times haha. This is so fun to be doing “handling” again. I’m feeling a little bit of magic connection.
> a couple were spins where you did a FC to the BC)
My first couple of times trying this, I just kept FCing haha. My body was convinced that this is what was called for. lol.> He probably needed more run around moments after every run or two at the beginning – he did several reps in a row then was wandering a bit. You might have added more of that later in the session, it seems he maintained his engagement better?
He needed to poop! haha. All of a sudden he was much less distracted after that.
> even though it might have been accidental
It completely was. I’d forgotten about it until it fell out of my waistband bahaha. I took that as serendipity telling me to reward my dog.
Hope your drive was ok and uneventful! Here is an doing the diamond.
Over the previous days I’d had a couple of goes just trying to get the blind right. This is super fun and I think I’m getting better at connection. Still a few fluff moments but better.
ERMAGAWD. I just had a moment where i realised that I have trained baby barry! haha. I had him in a sit, i was going to toss a treat at him, so I said “catch”, but because i normally throw the treat behind him when I say “catch” he got up and started looking for it, even though i hadn’t thrown it!! he knew what i was saying! The dumb baby allegations might be overstated haha
