There’s always room for more coffee. I was blessed by a coffee cart at the show at the weekend (I was surprised cos it was a small show). 3 flat whites and a can of V on Sunday hahah. But By the end of the last gamblers, my brain was fried. haha Games are so hard to judge – so many different rules!
Then there was the “short” 3.5 hour drive home. haha No wonder i was knackered yesterday.
> big barking from the neighbor dog
My own built in distraction training (sobs). I have my A frame leaned up against the fence so they can’t eyeball each other.> One thing I notice here is that on a bunch of his sits, he rolls back and pops a leg out
Yes I’ve been working on sits on a platform and I’m going to book another physio appointment for him. He has a heap of white hairs over his pelvis and last time the physio found he was quite sore in there (tender – no injury) we blamed a certain older, bigger, mentally unhinged brother for humping him too much. (for a dog on 600 mgs of gaba a day… he is decidedly not as chill as you’d hope – but a lot more chill than if he doesn’t have it)
I want a conditioning regime before I start jumping him at full height (and definitely before weave training). I like the look of the Dogs4Motion academy stuff, but if you have any suggestions, happy to take them.> you can repeat the verbal a few times
I appreciate how patiently you are reminding me of this again… every time you remind me, every time i forget. Thank you for being so patient.> he was not sure if the verbal was the release
Ah, thanks yes. I’ve done a little sending from between my legs when i’m out on walks but it was mostly to a thrown treat, so i see there’s a layer of understanding needed.Then we revisited minni pinny and mostly he remembered how to turn left, forgot a couple of times then remembered again.
Hello! I was more tired than I thought. Took the day off work and spent half of it sleeping. Finally managed to haul my ass the (checks notes) 30m to the back yard and do some baby Barry training.
We did zig zags they went pretty good i think. He only missed when I didn’t handle.I cut out all the tugging I did between reps.
Went away so here’s is another video from another provincial racecourse. Haha. You were right about him sleeping on it! He nailed a couple of right turns! I was also super proud of him working with the toy on the ground! I did this plus some cavalettis and a truly distracted set point on Saturday. I was too tired to try training today (Sunday) lousy night’s sleep and a lot of judging.
ETA: You see i do a bit of just rewarding for going over the jump at the beginning because I realise he may not have seen my bodgy travel jump.
Here we are doing some more mini pinny hoping baby Barry can turn left. I did the toy in the gap, I thought we made progress, then we went backwards. I also tried doing the right hand turn from between my legs… he wasn’t keen… but we’re working on it. I’m judging or competing in scent work for the next 3 weekends! I have no idea how I’m going to get through all your amazing content!
Trying to do the wind in our curly bonnet. Most of this is just me trying to go straight. I tried a couple of turns on his stronger side, it’s a starting place. Haha. I cut out the victory laps or where I was out of frame. This is all the reps.
Ah ha! Thanks for that. I knew i was doing something wrong, but couldn’t problem solve in the moment.
Tried some serp. But he wasn’t very focused.i took him for a 5m walk between sessions, but should maybe have popped him back in the van. Sorry the ear buds were out of juice so you’ll have to strain your ears, but at least you have your ear drums blown out by my *SuperStar*!
Tried find the jump again, as I was at club…. again. I focused on the side he trouble with yesterday. And we did OK til I got ahead.
I worked much harder on connection.
I think the two days training at club was a little much for his brain. But he did cool stuff.
