Record Keeping

We started a new barn session last night and had previously decided to change the format. We are now working as a large group- split into three. There are three stations and we rotate through them. There were two groups of three, and a group of four. Each group is required to record keep and goal set- we were pretty adamant about that. It worked out GREAT! I felt personally that I got a lot done with my dogs and my group members seemed happy with the setting aswell. Each week (if I remember) I will copy down my record keepers notes and talk about the night.
Goals- FC practice on pin wheel and discrimination
1st Attempt:
bar down on jump 3- A starting to move for FC.
wall contact- did not bottom on first Cue
redid wall- great contact, verbal and physical praise
A said wall- meant tunnel, dog not listening anyway- did correct (tunnel) obstacle ;o)
My observations:
Broke Start line.
I didn't move quick enough to get over to do a FC so pulled back- resulting in the knocked bar.
Wicca didn't drive to 2on2off- waited it out to see if she would offer- no such luck. made her get off and redid it.

2nd Attempt
late FC- W took off course jump
Try again.
Perfect- timing better. said name to get a tight turn.
*Barked when asked to repeat things

1- lift off immediately
2- C/T for getting on and immediate down, C/T for duration. Started lift but self corrected when cookies stopped coming
3- add speed jump-table...lift but self corrected C/T
4- didn't go all the way down- did not self correct- after 5 sec. called Off table.
5- great
6- great

Goals: Entries-

used three poles only. rewarded with GC for fast and accurate
broke start line- A started asking Wicca to change position (sit.down.stand) before releasing- Wicca scooting forward at each change.

Boone- building value for GC- weave accuracy. restrained recall over jump to weaves (building speed) Very happy!
