Cade - jump practice with toy June 21st

I worked with Cade first on his stay, then we worked sending him around a jump.  Then I wanted him to take the jump before him and go to the tunnel.  He likes going to the tunnel!  The final goal was to take the jump, look forward to the tunnel and then come out and take the jump before him.  We made some progress with it.  I then worked with him on working with a toy.  He got so focused on the toy when I picked it up that he would not take the jumps.  I worked with him some to get him to take the jump and then get the toy.  We will work more on this.  Here are the videos.

Work with jump plus tunnel, then jump-tunnel-jump

Cade-sit stay practice or should I say PROGRESS!!!

At first I started out with a clicker.  NOT GOOD.  He reacts so excessively to the clicker and starts offering me behaviors so rapidly that I don't have time to click the right one.  Not good for a position I want to train to hold!
Then I changed to letting him figure out what I was treating him for.  That was better, but not the best. 
The next thing was a combination of Kristy's teaching on the start line stay that I used with Canon and the Mary Ellen Barry self control stay.  I would be holding a treat on my flat hand and if he moved toward the treat, I would close my hand to show him NO TREAT.  He is pretty good with this and I think if can be used to help him learn to stay.  That is what I ended up with and got to the point I could stay out two jumps and he would hold it.
Videos are in the next post

Sat. June 18th 2011 Dog Walk practice

I got the hoop up and put Cade on the end and let him run to the toy.  He is doing very well with this.  I moved him farther back on the DW and he ran well from the top and also the full length of the DW.  He liked doing this.

Cade - jump practice with toy

In this practice, we worked on getting Cade to jump over one jump to a toy placed on the other side.  He was able to do this pretty easily.  Then I added a second jump and he could not do this.  He would jump one jump and come back to me.  He would not go over two.  
I also worked on his stay by holding a treat in my hand and making him wait to get it until I released him with OK.  He was able to do it from about a foot away.  
We also worked on jumping forward to a jump and wrapping around and then I presented a toy so he would accelerate as he turned.  He did very well with this.
