I put the weaves and a couple of jumps up in the garden today. Ruby decided she wanted to work for her stick. We are told to take the dogs favourite toy to agility to use a reinforcer but as you can see from the first video it would be a bit impractical to take Ruby's favourite to class! It is a bit impractical to use in the garden never mind anywhere else.


The next video shows Ruby doing the weaves for her stick. I put the stick at the end of the weaves and then take Ruby to the other end and then send her to it. She can get up quite a lot of speed now but it is hard to see in the video as I find it difficult to handle Ruby and point the camera in the right direction at the same time.



the last video shows Rubby doing jumps to the stick. In class she is a bit reluctant to go ahead to jumps but if she is running to her stick she is much happier.
