Trick of the week: Rebounds, overs and stalls

[AdrianneIsabel]

Thanks! I'll watch those videos after I am drug to a nerd flick. We're not really sure what to do after they're up there so that helps, the scratching in our case is definitely the mounting though, not the dismount. I think it will be safer for the dogs though to teach them how to get off since Sloan did fall once and almost fell again but luckily I caught her.

I really want a vault off my body with B so in excited to see if we're on the right track or not.

Then I was projecting the nails when dismounting :rofl1: Mine can typically get up ok but the leaving was just a mass flailing of nails and legs

I started training a back stall with Judge today. It's not much....but it's a start.
I'll upload the video to YouTube. It's a crappy video taken with my cell phone. Hard to video and train, I need to bust out the big camera today.

Here we go! The beginnings of a foot stall. This is probably Cohen's 3rd or 4th session ever. She's been having trouble finding her footing, but she managed to find it in the stalls in the video.

There's a bonus Megatron segment in there too, which was a spur of the moment thing and was her first session ever. She may get trained to foot stall too, but she has a bum knee, so I'm not so sure.

Also, I'm doing it on my bed because my back is hella sore and bruised from laying on the ground trying this two days ago.

Looking good! I noticed you're not using a platform and now I'm debating using one or not. Hmmm....

I probably would use one if I had one. Art's carpet square backed on wood looks like an awesome tool for this.

I was using a towel as a marker up 'til now and it wasn't ideal but helped bridge Cohen's understanding of where I wanted her. I would drape the towel over a stool, cue her up a few times, then move to my knees.

Session two of the rebound training. Let me just say that the chair thing really works! Both Pirate and Bayleigh got the hang of it quickly. Pirate's video will be up as soon as I upload it.

No video, but tonight I did Lincolns first session. A bunch of hopping on me while I sat in a chair, and then I got two jumps when I sat on the side of my clothes hamper (which FYI, hurt my butt!).

Let's just say I have more than one dog-related injury from this.

Amber those look great! I have noticed if you throw the treat to the ground where you want them to land it really helps their head placement and fluidity of the jump.

Good to know. After watching again, they are focused on my hand rather than landing. I had been throwing the treat at them to catch - Pirate just can't catch. He was also very distracted during today's session.

Okay, you guys have convinced me to try the chair thing... Payton wasn't really on board with the chair trick back when I was trying to teach him jump into my arms so I wasn't sure if it would work here, but I'm going to give it a shot.

No video because I'm already in my pajamas (Auggie spilled water all over my pants while I was soaking his foot) but I'm gonna try this...

Wait a minute.

Aren't PJ's the official dog training uniform of Chaz? I was sure it was.

I mean, if there isn't a video I'm just assuming you're sitting there in ducky boxers and a tshirt.

They are pink SKULL PRINT boxers thank you very much.

And nobody needs to see my thighs, that's the only reason why, LOL. If they were pants I wouldn't care.

 

[Beanie]

So yeah.
Don't teach a rebound in boxers or shorts or anything less than at least thick sweatpants.

Ow.

Yeaaah.....

Everything in this thread should be done wearing full body armor and a hockey mask.

Lol! I was just reading your post about the boxers and was like "um, that's going to hurt".

 

[Beanie]

Lol! I was just reading your post about the boxers and was like "um, that's going to hurt".

And most normal people would have immediately been like "ow!" and stopped to change, and I was just like "well this is going to leave a few marks! *carry on*"

Georgie actually managed a single for real rebound, and then was like "no way that's too high!" and wouldn't do it again, so I need to slow down more. She was quite enthusiastic though!
Payton is stuck just jumping onto my lap then hanging out there for a few seconds before he jumps down. Suuuuuper slow. I think part of it is because I'm basically trying to lure him with the cookie and he doesn't know what a lure is. Also throwing a cookie on the floor is a good way to have Payton be like ">=| No way, that's a trick, lady."

I finally got to a computer & could watch Art's videos! What a superstar!!!

I love how excited everyone is about this! These last weeks have def. been the most popular ToftheW's! It's AWESOME!!!


Cross & I have been working on foot stalls. Very slowly. I'm not sure if it's my inability to put my legs right but it just seems like he has to jump quite a distance to get up there! Or it's just my perspective, but it seems really high!! And when he dismounts he likes to come forward and use my body as a stepping block, and that's not cool.

We have been doing lots of practicing jumping onto a narrow stool thing, which has helped his balance considerably. (need to get an exercise ball!). He absolutely wouldn't get all four feet on it at first (I do have a boring video of that!) but what helped was putting the stool in between two "end tables" and just having him walk across, eventually asking him to wait on the stool and making the distance from the table-stool-table wider and wider. Then asking him to jump from the floor.

We're actively working on a one footed foot stall where I'm on my side. Hopefully a video to come as soon as we start to make some progress

Ok, trying something new... backbend overs!
