I actually forgot about doing a running start at the show. There are a few runs were I could have tried this. I need to practise this more at home. I did feed sardine at the finish of every run which he really loved (meth for dogs…)
Sorry the videos of progression are out of order. I thought he did well to ignore the toy given how much he loves them lol. I did not use a really obvious one so that may have helped.
sorry I did not get any runs from the next day on video. His last jumpers A was a good start which I was really happy with.
Next run also with a ball
this was my next run. I used the ball this time and he was better at the start. I was rewarding him with sardines at the end which he really loved.
We had a trial this weekend. This is one of the few indoor venues we have in NZ. We only compete here about twice a year. It is a great venue but it is crowed and noisy compared to our normal trials so its is a hard environment for shy dogs. This was my first run. I was the first dog in the first class and I was running a bit short on time. The warm up went well but then I forgot to use the ball and had a slow start as you can see…..
I did sime start line training with turns today. Sorry my start routine was slightly off camera. I practised with a bucket and running some circles as i entered the ‘ring’ he was very good. Only looked back at the bucket one but did not run to it. The bucket contained his food one ball and his leash. I took a ball in my pocket
I did some bucket training at home today. Sorry i got out of frame again. He had a bit of a look back at the bucket but still started well. I also did a beach session today which went realky well but i didn’t get any video. When does this course finish?
At a trial. He would be fine with food and toys in the starting chute then as soon as I put them into the bucket and tried to move into the ring his whole attitude would change…. He worried about his “things” then environment and sometimes did not want to leave his things to enter the ring with me. Then often would not sit on command which he has always been great about but he was worried…… buy the time we got started he was flat and nervous.
I did some practise at s friends place with turns at the start. I also pactised running into the ring and doing a circle. I had a ball so he was fine about it. I did have a real problem with entering the ring. He often just dud not want to come with me…. So he was very happy today. I did a turn with a tunnel first since he loves tunnels
More work on the static toy….. its a work in progress lol. Sorry about all tine winning and thumping in the background. Prancer sister Pascalle again…. My devil child lol
I have not done a lot in the break as I have been on call at work so things have been a bit busy. I have another show in about 3 weeks so I need to get cracking lol. This is defo Prancer new favourite game! He loves it.
This was my second last jumpers A today with the ball. He was distracted on the start and did not really focus on the ball which surprised me as he lives it but actually was pretty hapoy when he ran
