      Hello! Hope you had a good time in Karpenisi and enjoyed it as much as we did! Was pretty hectic time wise and unfortunately I didn’t manage to see your run 🙁

      So, I just read lesson 5 and to my surprise I did kinda that in yestedays training. Weefs favourite obstacle in the whole world is the seesaw so I started adding obstacles after it. It’s a bit messy handling wise but I am really happy with her, she was focused in all our sessions, was happy and willing to work. I was planning to start building around the seesaw in our next training on monday so will let you know 🙂

        Thank you! So keep another session in the same mindset? Like a few obstacles and keep adding some?

          Hello!! This is our 1st session today , I tried to add more things and it went well, she missed an obstacle twice and did some jumps instead of ins but I didn’t pay too much attention so as to not set her in a thinking mode again. After that we had two more sessions with different “sequences” with the treat n train and went even better than this one but I have no video unfortunately! Overall I am happy at this progress, still can’t start easily since we have no start line stay but we will get there I hope 🙂

          Ps: When you come to Greece for FMBB drop by the agility secretary if you have time, would love to thank you in person 🙂

            Hello! This is a very fast session from today with some “ins”, just wanted to check her understanding and I must say that I was really happy with her attitude. She was very attentive and happy so this was a good session! ? I tried to use the treat n train cause this is how I taught it at home but she didn’t go get the food , she was looking for my hand. On second thought, I should have removed the bag cause maybe it would have helped! On our next training I am planning to add more obstacles and the rest of lesson 3!

                Hi Polona! This is our try with various things with a tunnel and jump. To be honest I am not pleased with it since I can see how uptight and stressed I looked :/ I am really unsure on how to work since she is very reactive to my movement and I either stand still or I make these weird movements and showing her wrong. Although I must say that I am really proud of her for not bolting inside the tunnel and paying attention!! Looking forward to hearing from you on how to proceed 🙂

                  Hello and thanks for the reply! This is a video on the previous day, I was trying to do a simple cap-tunnel and it was impossible, she does this wide turn and just leaves and starts circling around if you don’t stop her.
                  You are so right with the toy (of course you are ?), I keep noticing on the videos that my reward is very bland so will improve that and try what you suggested with the tunnel and see how it goes!

                    Hello!! This is a mix of our lessons #1 and #2, tried doing mostly everything but I avoided sending her from the tunnels cause she gets way too worked up when she runs. So tried more “static” sends so she could actually think ?
                    She generally hates a long down/stay so I avoided doing that but I got more videos of lesson #1 that show it. I am not sure how to proceed from this, do I go directly to the sequence or try something like this again for another session and see? So sorry for the long video , hope it’s ok, just wanted to show you most of our training today!
