By the end of class Bear went from a leisurely walk through the tunnel to running through. Go Bear! What a little champion.
This next video was taken a few minutes after the video below was taken. Filming your training can be beneficial as it gives you extra insight into your training and what may or may not be working. In the video posted yesterday, you will see how the plank starts to spring when Elsie gets about half way across, plus being aluminium it is a bit slippery so not ideal. In this video a few adjustments are made to the speed we move, being fluid, and the position of my hand. Elsie is is as keen as ever and the training session was broken up into 3 small attempts, each one improving. (The first video was not worth publishing). So in so few attempts you can see significant improvement. Feel free to tell me your training successes.
Yesterday I started training Elsie to walk a plank. It was flat on the ground and is an aluminium plank the builder is uses. Today is our second day and I decided to raise the plank a little off the ground. Elsie didn't do to badly
This is Elsie training for her Drop Dead. We have the hand held like a gun with bang as the verbal command. She drops and rolls quite fast however does need work. When this becomes reliable and smoother I will transfer the hand signal / verbal command to a cap gun.
