Reilee’s Vicksters Exam

 Here are the 2 exams we recorded today.

  1. Pass. Not perfectly, but a Pass. Great corrections, Mike!

    Pointers::
    1) Do a series of 3 Step Halt to AS, Exercise Finish with the upright PVC pipes to Reilee's left side, within 6-8" of her left side.
    2) PLEASE, wincing on her as soon as you see her drifting more than 12" away from you. DO NOT LET HER BELIEVE YOU WON'T IMMEDIATELY COUNTErMOVE to REQUIRE HER TO STAY IN HEEL POSITION AT ALL TIMES!!! Critical you alter your mechanics right now as her drifting away is consistent, you will need to fix this before doing the Week 5 EXAM #2.

    3) Excellent Sit Corrections AND you remember to.praise her. Seek to reposition her Sit BEFORE her butt is on the ground. That changes her Sit mechanics. When you let her Sit poorly, then reposition, she is not forming good Sit position muscle memory. If you fix her Sit .mechanics BEGORE her butt is on the ground, you ARE forming good Sit muscle memory. Timing is everything.

    I will upload Pop Quiz (have fun as we all love this one) and the String Test. I am competing with 4 dogs in Hunt Tests thus weekend as well as simultaneously helping to Marshall Junior Tests🤪

    I will have Jessi and Trina critique your Week 5 EXAM Test


    The PVC pipe 'wall is excellent, use it more to shape Reilee's heeling.

    Onward💅
