This has been a rough week mostly because my timing is off on the ear corrections. Here’s a try at the Exam. We had some issues and I should have done a few more ear corrections or “outs”. The distractions may not look like a lot but for Molly they are pure torture. Food is her first love!!! Anyway, here’s our attempt just to see what we still need to work on.
We need a bit more work 😬
ReplyDeleteKeep at it.
ReplyDeleteMary,
ReplyDeleteGood effort and you are far more conscious of the 1" retrieve.
Pointers
1) Keep your visual marker on the ground where your right hand needs to lock over. This marker is off, to close to Molly.
2) Cease rolling DB into her mouth. That rolling is causing you to move the DB back into Molly's mouth. Just lock your right arm over a correctly placed visual ground marker and hold it steady, apply EC pressure once you present DB at mouth "Fetch" when Molly fails to immediately get her mouth on DB.
4) LOVE the distractions!!!
5) Great thinking on using a backfield as a safety measure.
6) And requiring Molly to keep DB in mouth, instead of barking, is EXACTLY the right thing to do in that moment.
7) How many EC'S.
Today, Saturday, I do believe you can set up another session and pass the Lesson 3 EXAM.
