I took Cade out to do a jump chute in the yard. First discovery, I don't have jumps that will go to 8". Mine go to 12" and up from there. So I had to improvise and use jumps turned sideways and jump cups below the 12" bar. It makes it hard to see in the video, but it is not that bad for the pup. It actually makes a real chute to jump through.
Then I discovered that Cade had so much energy that he had been saving for the first sunny day that he was so wild I could not do much with him. He finally settled down a little and worked with me. My brother-in-law helped a little, but he is not used to dog training so he was mostly building drive in Cade.
This is two runs through the jump chute, the first run and the last one. The first one, he does a really nice job with his feet. Only problem is that I had the jumps too close together and he jumped two. You can really see it in SloMo. The last one I changed from going from person to person to going from me placing a toy out from the last jump and releasing him to the toy. He could only do that after running through the jump chute several times so that he knew what I wanted.
We have a lot of work to do. He is so wild and so fast! Here we go. I am hoping the weather will hold out.
