do you have some verbal commands you are using too?
Yes. You have a couple of options here. We have a decel cue that we use for significant turns (ones that require max compression of the stride). This is something like “dig dig dig”, or with my previous dog “ven ven ven” (his name was Venture) or the dog in the this video “mir mir mir” (her name was Miriya).
If you prefer to use directionals in this spot, that is also ok. So you could use “right right right” or “left left left”.
Not at all sure I’m doing this correctly. Even though some of the dogs were not interested in the toy, I didn’t have treats I could throw in grass, and thought at least some movement from the toy would give them something to focus on . PJ’s problem was more in the category of self control with the toy!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aOpiQSeaIbY

Thank you very much!! I think it is improved – and we moved on to the next stop. 😉 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fl7ymxwWBJo
Yes – definitely ready to move on because your problem is NOT your dog jumping too much in extension or going wide, but rather your dog really committing to the jump. So you don’t need as much “no handler motion” practice.
To start the dog I notice handler kind of “bobs” I don’t have a nonverbal and rely on “OK.” Anything wrong with that and should I add the “bob?”
You do NOT need to add a bob, the OK verbal is actually even better then the dog relying on a physical cue.
Thanks

I recently sprained my ankle (running backwards on course! Naughty!) So I have had an opportunity to work on this a bit more. This video has clips from the first and last session done this past 10 days or so. No handler motion for obvious reasons, but I’m wondering if this is looking good enough to start the next step?
Wow! With the exception of that one rep by epic, these were exceedingly perfect. Like really fantastic collections and bending.
Definitely you can move on!
