She's still that big uncoordinated bouncy puppy

...sometimes it feels like she's never growing up...and sometimes she looks so uncoordinated like the front doesn't belong to the rear and the rear doesn't belong to the front (despite rear awareness) and she's still bouncy like a puppy and you just got to love those H.U.G.E flying ears.

Been working on directionals and I need to build a couple more platforms to send her back and forth between them. Right now I got to work with what I have. It's the second week she's been doing the directionals and overall she's not doing bad. We need to start increasing the distance too.

It's something we'll need for the RH title and for SAR itself. It means that I can send her forward, to the left, to the right, call her back, send her back out, further out etc. and this is the very basics of the directionals.

this is me clicking the "like" button lol.

Thanks.

I was wondering if I simply should use two crates instead and use the crate games for the directionals, sending her back and forth between them until I got more platforms. That would probably work just as well

thats certainly an idea! Give it a shot and see how it goes.

She's beautiful! I know I shouldn't laugh at her but she's just so cute in that video. I'm sure she'll get balanced soon.

Don't worry about the laughing. I laugh myself everytime I see her bouncing around like a deer. I swear she's a deer instead of a GSD

LOL

That is adorable!! I love the "complaining" going on in the background. Sounds like someone else wanted to play too.

Mrs.K · 01-13-2012, 10:25 AM

yeah. That would be Nala. I need to go back to the crate games with her, even though I'm glad it's just the complaining. She used to ramble in those crates really bad. It's gotten a lot better.

Cute video-love how happy she is!

I actually need to switch her to a mat. For the RH it's a fixed point like a pole where they have to go first, then there is a table behind that and two tables, one to the lef and one to the right. If I keep doing the platform she might think that the table behind the first fix point, is what she needs to do first. (does that make sense?)

So from now on I'll do the placing mat and simply use "Vor" instead of "Voraus" and for the table behind the fix point I'll use the "Voraus".
