Wrinkles running I think exercise 1 and 3 from Lesson 11. Also, we worked on his running (moving) aframe. He really seems to like it. I also ran Bailey in one of the sequences. Thanks Jean for letting us come by!

It really looks like Winkles love the play and roll on the start line.  He really seemed to fire up for that!  I think dogs really like running the A frame,  They probably get a thrill liek we would skiing or something!.  Winkles seems to be hitting the up side fairly loudly!  Sometimes if you use hoops on the up side it encourages the dog to dip on the up more like running up rather than jumping up.  But once they find a comfortable way to negotiate the obstacle they will usually stick to that behavior.  It also looked like you and Bailey had a fun run together!! .....elizabeth

Wrinkles is heavier then your little guys which may be why its a louder sound. He is approaching from the bottom and not leaping on so I am not sure a hoop would change anything. I don't do running/moving contacts so suggested she film what she was doing to get Olga's advice. Especially with the stride regulator. We had fun arguing about the best way to get the weight shift to the back. Helen likes the sr, I like the target. LOL

Cheers,

Jean

PS I was very impressed with Helen's ability to shift gears and run with Bailey

Helen! Very good going! Wrinkles looks like he likes both the SR and the target with cookies, ;-). Smart kid! What height is the AF at? 5'? Keep it at this height for a while to convince Wrinkles that it's fun to run it and not that hard. And no turns off the AF for now. Just run straight.

Good job on running Bailey. Was it fun? Jean must be jealous, ;-)..

And the jumping exercises look really good with Wrinkles. He's grown to watch you much better and is having fun following your direction.

thanks Olga! At the speed challenge last night his aframe was beautiful I must admit ;) And yes I had fun running Bailey, but its definitely not the same as running Wrinkles.
