Vickie Posted October 14, 2010 Author Share Posted October 14, 2010 (edited) WEEK FIVE: A good week for training since Pep is now fully recovered. The heat is interfering a little . A couple of videos from this week: Chloe has taught Pep to sit between her legs & this will be her startline. She still hasn't attempted to teach her a stay but hopefully this will come soon . Her is a short sequence, their first attempt at a front cross. and another one, they are doing lots of running around together & it seems to be paying off Rewarding her for following Chloe's hand Some tricks Chloe has also started teaching her foundations for running contacts.

pie Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 That second one came up in my subscriptions the other day, she is a speedy little thing isn't she! She's looking good and seems to be having a lot of fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vickie Posted October 14, 2010 Author Share Posted October 14, 2010 (edited) That second one came up in my subscriptions the other day, she is a speedy little thing isn't she!She's looking good and seems to be having a lot of fun Thanks amypie, yes she sure is having fun & it seems like she will be quite speedy. We decided ages ago that she probably more JRT than Foxy X, although we have no idea what the other bit/s may be. I have been trying to think since we got her who she reminds me of...I just realised the other day. She looks a lot like Susan Garrett's Decaff, is about the same size & bounces around a lot like her too. Decaff is a JRT mix so that fits with what we thought. I couldn't find a pic of Decaff, but found this video Edited October 14, 2010 by Vickie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ness Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 Vickie that was my thought when I watched the video. I thought she reminded me of SG's Decaff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vickie Posted October 14, 2010 Author Share Posted October 14, 2010 if we can manage to get her even half that well trained, it would be awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ness Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 she is looking great so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pie Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 Yes she does look like decaff! Her ears, markings and coat are very Tenterfield / Mini Foxie like though, but could also be from a JRT, who knows because she's obviously a lot bigger but she's a lovely dog!

Tiggy Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 I love the sit between the legs you teach your dogs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vickie Posted October 14, 2010 Author Share Posted October 14, 2010 (edited) I love the sit between the legs you teach your dogs it can be quite dangerous for the unsuspecting Trim & Shine have tripped a few people over trying to assume position before they have been invited. Shine especially has scared the crap out of a few visitors here Pep is already starting to use it as her default behaviour, so it looks like she will catch a few out too Edited October 14, 2010 by Vickie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiggy Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 Okay next question how did you teach the sit between the legs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vickie Posted October 15, 2010 Author Share Posted October 15, 2010 We just lure, click, reward and again & again &..... Once you put it in front of a jump, the jump becomes the reward! Lots of people seem to be doing it now, I have even seen a few overseas doing it. I like it b/c it's a set routine & b/c it allows me to put them exactly where I want them to start. I suspect it wouldn't fit with GD & SG methods but mine never duck behind me on course so it's all good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think she should come train my dogs and me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiggy Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 Sorry to hijack your thread Vickie but I just did a little lesson with Banjo and after a few goes he was racing around and through my legs , I haven't asked for the sit yet, I was wondering do you always do it from the same side, I was getting him to go around my left side. Thanks . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got a better idea, you come here & I will go to WA! You have some of the best trainers in the country, I would love to train with them.
