We primarily worked on increasing the speed on the contacts. Chloe did an awesome job on the dog walk as she was running at full speed Going to the teeter, she is starting to show signs that she wants to go to the end of the plank for a fast ride down as before she just happy to be at the breaking point on the plank. The breaking point is the area where her weight begins to move the plank down. A-Frame work was mostly OK as she was starting to run instead of hopping or skidding on the descending side. I am still not confident about it. If he runs, more likely she blow her 2o2o in which she does them off the obstacle. Here 2o2o performance also continues to need correcting as she sits. The saga continues...
I did run her several times on the weave poles just to watch her footwork and I see that she was stumbling at first to get her rythm.
Scout's session was trying to get more speed out of the dog walk so that he gets comfortable running on the obstacles. He did grreat on the dog walk and AF. I was trying to get him to do his 2o2os which as expected with all his excitement, he just hops around for a bit and starts to settle down. Once settled, he does a lot better in the thinking department. He starts to do them but does them in the same behavior where he sits. I better nip that in the bud as well.
When it is time for the teeter, (still set at 24") his confidence shows as he walks up the plank and then realizes he bit more than he can chew and jumps off to the side. After doing that he starts riding on the plank all the way down but bails off the board too quickly to even to do his 2o2os. He also likes to come back to the board after he jumped off and he does not realize that the board is comiing back up! He has already got knocked in the jaw twice! I have to watch him each time he gets off because he likes going back to investigate. Time to get serious and start training him on it as he is starting to get some very bad habits.
So after their sessions were done, I decided to increase the height of the dog walk, I think its around 3 feet now and I dropped the teeter back to my 16" height. So we'll see what the next session brings.
