Oct Part 2 - Bi-Weekly Training Goals

So, I need to alter mine juuust a touch. I don't think that rear end awareness is going to happen for Tulsa right now. Too much work to do with confo before the show next month.

But I worked all the dogs today! RIDER NAILED IT! TULSA NAILED IT! HARLOW NAILED IT!

This is awesome.

I'm working on videos, but they are soooo slow to upload.

Worked on my knees tonight, oh my gosh what a difference, and how easy.

I'm switching to Great Danes.

Ok, so hopefully I do this right. Harlow and Rider's videos are still uploading.

But here is Tulsa! I need to figure out a way to get you guys to view her from the side without seeing my huge a$$ the whole time.

I finally had a chance to work on Zip Tie's big overs. I was able to get an over with the help of the jump right away, that's the video I'm uploading. I started with a leg over which he knows, then just went to the body over. By the end of the second session, he was actually tucking and jumping nice for it without the jump. I'm sure we'll have it in a couple more sessions.

Awesome jump!

This is totally off topic but it pulled up a video of your old foster Blinker after that and holy crap he acts like Hank! The mannerisms are so similar.

ETA: He was mini aussie/ACD? Right?

Ya, they called him a Texas Heeler, mini aussie/acd.

Probably not worth posting, but we've got a decent sit pretty now!

Nice jump, Sara!!!! I love watching you and your dogs.


Harlow looks so cute <3

My goal for the rest of the week is to be able to take a walk in my neighborhood with Jari not reacting to any dogs (within reason - obviously loose dogs rushing him might set him off still). I feel like we made so much progress and then yesterday a loose dog sort of set things back a lot. Again, not anyone's fault (well except the owner that just lets his dog roam free outside), but still frustrating. I need to focus on not taking Jari with either of the girls and just do more solo walks for a while to get things back to how they were.

Okay, I made sure to charge my batteries while I was gone today, I WILL get some video tonight!

UPLOADING 22% 151 minutes remaining.

I will report back in 152 minutes.

It's of Em. We signed up late for a Fenzi course (Novice/Open Ready), so we are playing catch up. It was a really fun session, though this was just the first five minutes of it, even if it wasn't our most precise. We had a good time, I love working with this dog!

I just signed up for a Fenzi course too! Edgar and I are in the "I'm just little" class, foundations for small dogs. So much material to go through already!

Well now I want to sign up for focus games I think I will right now!

And I'm out $78 lol

I want to take that class too!!

Ugh I SO want to do another Fenzi course

Super jealous of you all.

Here. I promised.

We're practicing in my garage. No judging.

Ugh, me too. Stupid Mo and his medical bills

I love her around the back finishes, the way she snakes around you looks super cool!


Our jitterbug is slowly dying...

(also, for those of you embedding videos, can you also just post the link so that I can watch them on my phone? Thanks!)

Go Emmy!!!!!! :-D


We have done nothing bc I have had zero time. My trial is in 2 days.... This isn't helping my anxiety. I think I might spontaneously combust in the ring. My goal is still just to "make it through the course." I know my body language will be off due to anxiety and I have no idea how he will react to that. It's not exactly something I can mimic. I just want to make it through the course, that's all I'm going to focus on. No screaming and running out of the ring early.
