Root Beer Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 Nice, nice!! How did you train your running A-Frame? Did you use a specific method? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quicksilver Posted October 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 Yep, clicker/target with a down nose touch having been shaped beforehand: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=HIjKgJkqyPI Use that 4-off position for the dogwalk and A-frame, a 4-on for the seesaw.

soloagility Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 Bliss has some awesome drive and control, especially with the distance work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quicksilver Posted October 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 How do you get her not to default down in competition? I do get her to down sometimes, but most of the time these days I just let her run them. In training she does a mixture as well. She doesn't miss many contacts - since she started competing in January 2006 the total missed is still in single figures. Here's a recent film which includes a decent if somewhat leisurely dogwalk contact, a chaotic A-frame contact resulting from me turning her late, and a missed seesaw ... one of that total mentioned above, I blame the handler (me) who was panicking a little. http://vimeo.com/2000875 Don't laugh too much!

airbear Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 OMG, her lie-down at the startline is so .... very .... cute! All you can see is the tip of her head! Very nice dog, she looks like a ton of fun to run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quicksilver Posted October 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 Thanks for the nice comments, folks! We don't get many clear rounds, but she has such a zest for life, and is always so happy at the end of a run, playing with her tuggy, that I find I just don't care so much these days about the eliminations.
