Jackie graduated to Beginner Treibball. In this new six-week class, we'll continue learning skills such as "Walk up!" "Get back!" and build on Jackie's previously learned herding cues.
Pearls:
- Play "Walk up!" by asking Jackie to walk a step or two, then say "Whoah!" for her to halt, and reward. Gradually work to reward once for every three walk-ups offered.
- Continue building distance for the "Go out!" target cue.
- Play "Go out!" with an object, such as a basket or hassock, in front of the target so Jackie gets used to positioning herself with the ball between her and the handler.
- Begin to fade the "Front!" cue and allow Jackie to organically arrange herself facing the handler with the ball in between, ready to be pushed toward the handler.
