Jinx’ little oopsie last night 🤔😂
10 minutes of Jinx and Charm waiting their turn, sped up into one minute of cuteness. 💕
Some dogs take a little longer to get there and that’s fine. ✨
We finished our 6 week Agility Foundations class last week. This was an amazing group of people and dogs. Sadly one dog has to drop out after a coyote attack. 😞 (He will be OK, but be careful out there with your smol dogs!) All the dogs came to my class with the ability to work and focus around other dogs and it showed! I’m so happy most of them will continue on to the Beginners class. We had a toy Pomeranian, doodle, Aussie x2, Aussie mix, and little white fluffy Len. You can do agility with all breeds!

Jinx did so much better yesterday when working on staying calm around other dogs doing agility. This past week we worked a lot on self-regulation and self-control. A lot of go and stay on your place games, “It’s your choice” games, taking turns with Charm games. Things we work on intermittently, but really focused on this week.
I also only used food when practicing agility. He still works willingly, but food is lower value. Tug toys create big feelings in him. We don’t want those right now.
And then yesterday morning he had a 3 hour play date, where both his socialization needs and moving his body needs were met.
Like last week, he got to run on the field, play agility (for food!) and swim beforehand.
That’s a lot of work and planning! But it payed off yesterday. And in the meantime @brightlikeorla got some quiet, private agility time with her mom. :)

Appropriate play, where both dogs like to play chase, and both dogs initiate breaks with play bows and/or looking away, to make sure the play does not escalate.

And for your (tiny) chuckle of the day: Charm and the evil black bowl.

Jinx’ amazing progress around cars. (He used to try and chase cars.) And a voice-over where I’m not super annoyed by the sound of my own voice! 🤣

The next couple of weeks I will be working on getting Jinx to stay under threshold when another dog is doing agility. We started last night, after he got to run around, play agility and swim and it was … Not great. We had to move all the way diagonally across the street and he still could barely hold it together. It doesn’t help of course that another trigger, cars driving by, is impossible to avoid.
This was the best I got and it didn’t last long. Mostly just excited panting, but I’m afraid that if I move even farther away, I’ll just be working on the car issue and not the agility anymore. 🙃

Jinx has a command for jumping at full speed to take the obstacle behind the jump, and jumping with collection to wrap around the wing.

No issues figuring out the broad jump yesterday. 🙌

It’s easier when we just do weaves

Weaves are still a work in progress. They take a lot of focus, which is often lacking on the agility field due to the cars zooming by.

Charm’s turn didn’t go so well… 🤣 Doesn’t help she just finished barking at the poor mailman. I’ll do some more thinking and see what I can come up with, besides patience and more time.

Practicing those weaves. We haven’t had issues with her popping out after 10 for a while 🤞
