They are both learning new things and so am I as we learn agility, field work and obedience. We also like to do tricks.Sallyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09855990169774630393noreply@blogger.comBlogger50125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7460504670758584292.post-62052318019557977442012-01-04T07:38:00.000-06:002012-01-04T07:38:32.811-06:00************HAPPY 2012 ********I am trying to get started with a plan to work with Canon on running a course. We both need to run full courses and learn how to put them together. I am trying to get something setup in the yard to work and to try and run a course each week. I think it will really help.<br />
To run a section of the course each day and then on the weekend try and run the full course. We will see how it goes.Sallyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09855990169774630393noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7460504670758584292.post-40839174864873805672011-09-30T01:14:00.000-05:002011-09-30T01:14:40.203-05:00GRCA STDThis is Canon's STD run. I can see that the way she does her contacts may have caused her to begin to spin. Had she held her DW until I could get setup better, she may have been able to release cleanly and go to the jump/table without the spins. Also, I released her to the wrong side of my body to take the tire. That was awkward for us both. She ran really nicely after that.<br />

We met lots of great Golden friends and got to visit and get to know many of them. Canon won the FAST National run and was very close on other runs. Fun time and learned a lot.<br />

I only got a few videos cause my friends were all running in the same class.<br />
She got a cue in DAM Team with some individual Q's as well. She also got a Q in Pairs, Standard, Snooker. She finished her Advanced Standard title, and got a Snooker Q, so she got her Advanced Agility Dog title.<br />
<br />
I was so proud of her for her contacts. She faulted her teeter in the gamble in one run, but other than that, she was clean on all contacts. She did not do the exact criteria, so we will have to continue to improve, but having all contacts clean is such an improvement. It was so nice to not have to worry about it.<br />

She is getting stronger and stronger with it and I videoed her staying in the chair while I work with Cade.<br />

She does stand up once and she barks while she stays. We will see if she can do this at a trial.<br />

She is progressing nicely. We are on angle 3, which is almost straight. She is doing well finding the entrance from the back side. Today is progress. She was not doing that great in the few days we worked last week finding her entrance from the back side. She is having some fun doing this too.Sallyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09855990169774630393noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7460504670758584292.post-28314453761590485202011-07-06T11:16:00.000-05:002011-07-06T11:16:09.393-05:00July 6th - Full course run throughI setup a course to work this week and I ran Canon on it 3 full times and videoed our runs. Issues to work on:<br />
<br />
Release on OK - she is not releasing when I say OK from the SL or the DW. She missed one AF and took a few bars. I can see where I was the issue on most of them. I need to work on my cuing while we run. Sometimes I pulled her off jumps and sometimes I did not cue clearly to let her know where to go. On the whole, good runs.<br />
<br />

It was a familiar place, but she was rock solid on her SLS. Once we can get that issue resolved, we are going to have to work on a few other issues with my handling. I am not supporting her and giving her enough information as to where she is supposed to go next and she is pulling off jumps and not letting me show her and then go. <br />
<br />
I will post some videos of her doing her SLS work with a bumper.<br />

I was horrible and Canon was horrible. We had fun with the puppies, but Canon broke her SLS every run except 2. We ran 8 times. I pulled her 4 of the 6 she broke. I feel like one of the times I pulled her was a really good correction, the others were week. Needless to say, we did not Q at all.<br />

<br />
Release Criteria - must be fully defined, practiced, executed<br />
Now or never thinking. I must get the criteria or correct<br />
Correction Protocol - must be defined in practice and in trial situations so Canon does not get away with breaking the rules<br />
Stay on contacts and at start line must be practiced<br />
Course planning<br />
practice planning<br />
mental game<br />
<br />
These are things that are to be worked on with Kristy, me and CanonSallyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09855990169774630393noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7460504670758584292.post-4119283008949490222011-06-18T23:38:00.000-05:002011-06-18T23:38:47.875-05:00Jumping - Aframe Practice June 18th 2011<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dxnJwd0S_8ejtJk1QEVFv3ek1Y0viZO1xw3CkSk5D1bokC_1OAz3GvrSTW0d2VSJAo_mH51cfm3fd33byvv5g' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div>I setup a practice course from my lesson and ran it, but I must have turned the video camera off by mistake. This is the only video I got from our practice. Canon did a really good job and the course is great practice for what we are trying to proof. This is an exercise to help Canon accelerate around a turn.

I need to visualize it and only accept it. I need to train for it as well.<br />
<br />
I need to establish my correction protocol and stick to it.<br />
<br />
The main challenge for the next few weeks is to get the sit/stay at the start and on the contacts solid. It is close, but not there yet. By the end of the month, it needs to be consistent.<br />
<br />
Start line: sit her, walk out, hand up, "Good Girl" release "OK"<br />
<br />
Criteria to follow.Sallyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09855990169774630393noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7460504670758584292.post-53699398918209128292011-06-05T19:43:00.002-05:002011-06-05T19:57:52.255-05:00Weekend lessons Start Line StayStart Line Stay practice:<br />
<br />
7 different criteria for stay<br />
Stay in front of a jump trains start line and table<br />
Sit her in front of a jump, lead out - hand out - "Good Girl" release "OK"<br />
Train by walking out and release her and reward<br />
Also sometimes go back and reward her where she is<br />
Sometimes release her back where she sits, sometimes walk back out and release<br />
So release comes in 3 places during the training - walk out like in a run, walk out and then come back and release, or walk out, come back, reward, walk out release<br />
<br />
Contact Stay practice on the flat:<br />
<br />
Sit her in a stay, go behind her and run past her, do all the moves you may do in a trial - front cross, push, rear cross, blind cross, fall on the ground and dance, train two different ways: go back and reward, then release, stop out front and from static position, release her with "OK" <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div>As she makes progress, train running past her and doing all the turns I need to practice and release her while in motion. No body cues, just the verbal cue.<br />
<br />
Practice on the contacts and throw treat pouch to her feet when she stops and go back and reward her from the treat pouch. Make the treat come to her.<br />

BUMMER. We missed the DW down contact so we did not get our Q. Here is a video of the course. She ran a beautiful course and IF she had gotten the Q, she would have placed 3rd. I am really bummed out about it, but NOT about her run. We had many heart breakers this weekend. We did Q on a couple of runs.

Tonight after work was the first time I could work with the dogs in the yard. I setup a series of jumps around the obstacles and worked with Canon on them. We have been working on weave entries a lot because I could work that pretty quickly and she has missed some lately. I have my channels open about 3 inches cause I am repeating her entrances and I want to encourage her to go fast and not cause any injuries. I only have her doing 6 weaves. I will add the other 6 next week when we are preparing for the trial. She is doing a fabulous job with it. She also did an excellent job holding her AFrame contact and her DW contact. I did some sprints through some jumps spread out around the yard and want to do that each day to keep her in shape. I think the Happy Dog trial wore her out with all the runs. She was fatigued by Sun. Good day practicing.<br />
<br />
Skills practiced and rating: (1-10, with 10 best)<br />
AFrame - 10<br />
AFrame tunnel discrimination 10<br />
weave entries 10<br />
Start line 7 she left once and I had to put her back<br />
