Tug Fail

Dhali likes to tug on this fleece strung across the x-pen. Sometimes he gets a little too into it and his whole body get involved! LOL! He isn't really stuck, but I was interrupting his game,so he stopped to look at me.

16" Is Too Hard? Daisy Peel Foundation Class

This last week for our Daisy Peel foundations course we started one jump exercises - from Linda Mecklenburg's book. 
Our first try at the exercise was Ok.  Then our 2nd one we had TROUBLE and it was BAD.  And I felt sad for Tibby and frustrated.  Daisy told another student to let their dog work through the higher height and let the bar fall on their head, so they will figure out that going under the bar doesn't get them a click/treat.  She said to just be patient and let them work it out.  So I followed that advice.

I would really, really appreciate it if you all would watch the video below  - I know it's way long -  you don't have to watch the whole thing!  Our session goes waaaaay downhill at 2:20.  So skip to there.

I think 16" is too hard for Tibby?  She wouldn't even jump for roast beef.




Our 2nd try at the one jump exercise.

Daisy told me our session was too long and I should try the exercise in new places.

Okay.
