Fidget_Agility Training 15 - 2by2 Weaves (Week 2) Posted by: Fidgetinmotion
Video duration: 155 seconds Sept. 08 (15 months old): Following last week's 2by2 drills, Fidget can already weave through a set of 6 straight poles, even without me by his side. We will anyhow need to go back to 2by2 to proof entries from all angles. And then add equipment before and after to increase speed, and to make sure Fidget maintains accuracy at higher speed.

Fidget Agility Training 21 - Increasing Speed Posted by: Fidgetinmotion
Video duration: 183 seconds Nov. 2008 (17 months old): Lately, Fidget started to hesitate in front of the chute and to slow down on the dog walk and pause table (in order to satisfy his curiosity to sniff new equipment!) So I decided to dedicate a session to speed and drive: I offered jackpots (spoonfuls of stinky green tripes, uurk!) to reward fast completion of the chute, dog walk and pause table. It seems to work!! Related: agility, aussie, aussies, australian, drive, fidget, increase, mini, miniature, shepherd, speed, stoverly, training |
