We made the white sequence from topic 3 and I totally felt what I have previously tried to put into words.

Hi, how are you? Sorry for having been away for so long
Here we are, we had some really hard days, but we are safe and sane and back home!! Ready for resuming our agility journey!
During this time without uploading videos, we made some short sequences every now and then. We also were in Brasil some days and were invited to train with some people there. I’m not sure if I am allowed to upload some examples of that (I left them behind just in case), but as a summary, I can say, that although I see Stitch has grown up a lot these weeks, I see that while running into an agility course, he is really really much slower than when running wild and free without any route, playing with dogs or discovering a new place. Reading your post I think that’s part of being a Brainiac-dog, so please, I would love to receive some advice on where to resume this class, hoping you could help us to get the best of both of us !
04/04 – Brasil

12/04 – Brasil

16/05 – home

19/05 – home

21/05 – During a trial, in g a new agility place

We also worked on static toy exercises mixing with treats and away from agility course. Stitch didn’t show any interest for toys when food was around (on bag, on my hand and even he went to the kitchen to look for it). later, when he finally realized that food was no more involved we could do some tricks and rewarded them with toys

Thank you! I won’t use NO, and try oops instead.
We are going to do some static toy exercises mixing with treats and away from agility course.
Should we repeat the sequence mixing types of rewards? or do you think a new sequence would be better?

Hi, we were a bit busy here and we couldn’t continue with the last topics as I would have liked to 🙁 Sorry for that :'(
I have to say a lack of videos doesn’t mean a lack of interest !! I have a lot of homework to do from this class and I loved each game, we will continue with all your advice given!!
I have this video I haven’t uploaded before but it doesn’t follow all your indications from the last video posted.

I don’t know until when we are allowed to post videos? and for how long all your replies will be available?

Hi, we made a new try of cavaletti but I feel Stitch was again on a hurry. I tried to be calm and the quiet, throwing one treat and while he was searching, I went to the end position and went down there.
I see he made some good tries but most of them he jumped, so not sure … do you see any progress?

Hi! here there are our first attempts with topic 5.
Balance as Stitch already knows being 4 paws in on different places, we started with me moving to the sides and him over the wobbly.

Cavaletti, I feel it was a total disaster, we never manage to be calm enough for this exercise. Stitch was all the time excited and looking for food and so never focused on poles and I didn’t find the way of helping him.
