I did try this one but I REALLY need to work on my dogs committing/being independent on the back sides. It was rough 🤦🏼♀️. But we will get it!!!!
It’s good to know your holes! It lets you prioritize training and make the best tactical decisions in the meantime. Did you have video you wanted reviewed?
This was really hard for the red dog and myself. I will try it again and re-record it. At 2 and 5 on the backside slice I am having trouble getting Skye to stay committed to the jump while I get in place for the blind. It’s our lack of experience. Plus I’m not sure how to teach it.
I think toy/treat placement it very important when training commitment. When doing backside slices, place your reinforcement on the landing side of the jump near the wing. As the dog jumps, cue them to the toy/treat. Once the dog realizes that the reinforcement is not tied to you but rather to their performance, they will care a bit less about your motion which allows you to move more and more onto the takeoff side of the jump.
Thanks so much! I will definitely try again using your advice! I really, really appreciate it!

Well I have just made a mess out of my uploads tonight. Disregard #1 for Rooster, that was Tribute’s run.
Here is Rooster’s #1 exercise

Again, I am so sorry that I made such a mess out of my posts tonight!!! I really need an ‘edit’ button!!!

This was a fun course. Tribute got a little stuck behind me in the first exercise so we tried that one twice. I thought it went a little better for us at #5 the second time.
#1 https://youtu.be/7imSVHHq80s
Second try https://youtu.be/C3tiuljyvSI

Ooops…I posted the 2nd exercise twice instead of my second try at #1…..here is my 2nd attempt at #1

I am sooo sorry…..I guess my brain is about done for the night…I posted the wrong video again!

I think I got all the videos organized for feedback. If I missed one, just let me know.
Feedback: https://link.getonform.com/view?id=RaRP67sHzkzQpI3ZOd62
YES….you got them all….and I certainly didn’t make that easy on you!
I will work on not pausing on those back side slices!
Tribute is pretty efficient on the back side curls, I think because of that I tend to default to that. We will work on getting just as comfortable with the slice/blind!
Here is our work with these sequences, definitely like the slices vs curls as usual for the GSPs…I’m debating teaching a separate curl vs slice backside cue (I have separate ones for threadles) and would love your thoughts on that topic! Thanks for the feedback!!

They first five minutes if the module feedback. Then I ramble for about 2+ minutes about the question of two backsides verbals 😉

Thank you! I often go too deep on certain types of front crosses so will work on being more mindful of that. I also need to work on not rushing to get ahead all the time, sometimes it gets me in trouble!
Thanks for the discussion on backside cues, I really appreciate it! I’ve been debating if I should spend the time on it when I can typically get there and show additional support with my motion so I’m not sure it’s really worth it at least with this set of dogs. I’ll keep pondering, thanks!
In this challenge I found that reverse wraps at #5 seemed more fluid for both Zest and Blast. Maybe it was the angle or my setup of the last jump that made the backside serps feel awkward or maybe I didn’t get out in time when the backside is coming from a jump rather than being able to lead out as in the beginning.

You are very consistent in your handling! I pretty much have the same feedback for your handling with all three dogs.

Did Challenge both ways… I had a hard time with the backsides!!! Re connecting and being in the right spot to move on to the next obstacle 🤣🤣

I’d definitely say that challenge 2 is the way to go right now but this gives you some things to work on the backside slice push.
Feedback: https://link.getonform.com/view?id=WAYuJ8luyomvR6YnYdwW
Hi again!
I did the challenge both ways that were demonstrated. I think it is safe to say I would always choose the slice in this situation. In fact, I do wraps (curls) so rarely that I was pleased Enzo did them so cleanly.
https://youtu.be/6yG9SppAq38
Thanks,
Barb
I agree 100% that for Enzo, the slice is the way to go!

You did a bit of your own variation on the curl option but I don’t think it was a problem as long as you are also working some curls to BC’s on your own. But feel free to redo these if you want.
Feedback: https://link.getonform.com/view?id=tOtEMx4nWc0IboEFz24M
Yeah I wanted to try a push on both sides but didn’t think about the fact that doing so took away the cross. Here is the redo https://youtu.be/TomgX9-jTLI
Seems maybe Jive wanted a blind cross on the 2nd push 😉
Feedback: https://link.getonform.com/view?id=hoRJByFhwMYgg1TItV1X
I really felt the slice was more comfortable on this one. The wrap felt very managed. I can’t get her to go into speed on the backsides, so I feel like I’m waiting for her. I’m also struggling with timing and where on the wing I need to be so I don’t block her. https://link.getonform.com/view?id=q4lceeRbuRABjIoI15kf
Thanks for feedback.
So interesting that you felt he wrap was “managed” – it looked very nice!

Your comment about feeling “managed” has be intrigued so I had to do a side by side 😉

Of course! We look at everything that gets submitted. I just work though them in the order they get submitted. I apologize for the confusion.

We had considerable trouble executing challenge sequence 1 and never did get the blind cross after jump 2. Toby and I have not been trained to do a backside slice followed by a Blind Cross. I finally gave up trying to blind after the backside slice on 2. I’ve included a clip of a few of my attempts to train the back side slice followed by a blind, but I don’t know if I am doing it right? What would you advise?
I eventually gave up and tried the sequence without a Blind Cross. I have included a few variations I tried, of what we did to get through that sequence. What are your thoughts on my variations?
We seemed to have no trouble with the back side curls of challenge sequence 2, but I still could not get a Blind Cross in after jump 2. I think that maneuver is just not in our “wheel house” at this time. I’m sure with the right training myself and practice we could probably eventually be able to do this, but right now, it’s not happening.
I’m very interested in your feedback on what we have done. Thank you very much.

Hey Sharon! You are not alone in having trouble with the backside slice blind. It has a lot to do with backside independence and then commitment. The goal is to be on the takeoff side of the jump by the time the dog takes off. You needed to get farther ahead while he was going to the backside of #2 in order to be in position for the blind cross. I tried to explain in my analysis but feel free to follow up with more questions if needed.

Here is a very recent analysis of backside slice handling that also might help: https://baddogagilityacademy.com/backside-slice-handling-options/
Thanks again for your input. I didn’t realize Toby back jumped #2 because I was in his way. That was good to know. I don’t know how to get him to take the jump from the backside if I keep moving. he tends to bypass the jump if I move around it.
The video of Sarah Baker gave me a hint, but it sounds like I would need to use the dead toy approach. I’m not sure that will work for us. Is there another way to train that commitment to take the jump from the backside while I keep moving on? Would dropping his food toy in that spot work? Do you know if there is another training approach I could try?
I plan to watch Sarah Baker’s video a bunch more times, and see if I can get the food toy dropped strategically enough. Do you have other advice?
Thank you
Absolutely dropping a toy in is fine. You don’t need a dead toy; you just need the ability to reward AGAINST your motion.
OK, Thanks
Melody and Tucker. Boy do we have work to do! Pushes to slices and curls are quite new for us.
https://youtu.be/K4j_-irbrwg
The curls went pretty well but I would agree a bit of work on the backside slice into blind cross would be worth doing before NAC. I see that as a pretty common AKC challenge.

Very helpful feedback. Handler had an aha moment. Practice, practice!
Kimber – Option 1 – https://youtu.be/H3c5kNLDNPM
Flash – Option 1 – Flash is a young dog and hasn’t done many backsides. This was a difficult exercise for us. I felt like I was in his way. https://youtu.be/CHou1wKJ3XA
Nice work!! I don’t feel like you were in Flash’s way as much as he could use some review on pushes. His default seems to be the blind cross.
