Feature is a hoot and a half! Thank you for sharing.

Awesome video. I love that self control!
Thanks for all of the great training ideas.
Feature is hilarious with her toy!

This goes to show that we sometimes don’t see what we’re staring right at. I just watched the video again (..and for the sixth time to boot!!) and saw a front cross and a very clear one at that ! Like a dummy, I had written my little words on this doggone blog without checking it out. Please accept my apologies!!
I feel much better though, that I did write, because I was thinking, hey! what about the sound advice of Greg Derrett, concerning blind cross…?
A lot of people at my club recommend a blind cross as a great, efficient manouver. I did it in two competitions and confused my dog. Afterward I realised why, from that moment, we were “cooked”.

Hi Trudie, It actually was a Front cross not a blind cross before the A-Frame. Not a blind-crossing kind of girl myself!

What a clever “good manners” game !
I watched your video of Feature’s agility course, and how you moved around the course. A “blind cross” before the A-frame.

I got a great kick out of the video
I leave one dog on the table while training the other too, but for some reason I never thought of releasing one before the other got back to the table. Maybe I should work on that as Rio’s goal in life is to jump up and see if she can body slam Piper off the table….

Harmony seems an impossibility with my two littermates, Kenai the SDit and BB! The Brother’s Grin are great seperately, but village idiots when we put them together (sigh). The trick for me isn’t motivating, it’s calming Kenai down: he goes “instinctive” when excited, and commands go out the window. Still, he’s actually very good for his age, and I work on, ever so glad to have “discovered” clicker training. The next pup in a few years will have quite different training exercises!

Great video. Now a new goal with my two. My older dog gets so jealous when I work the younger one (jealousy is a great motivater, he works so much better after he sees me working with the other one).
