I don't know if lightening your tone a little when cuing the table would help at all, but it might!<br /><br />By the way, there's an award for you at my blog. :)Sophiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00721603841095284237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1554594557452545158.post-33781366175991131732011-08-17T20:03:46.831-04:002011-08-17T20:03:46.831-04:00She's looking fantastic!She's looking fantastic!Natashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12986443645823408698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1554594557452545158.post-10660694644484105532011-08-16T15:17:33.291-04:002011-08-16T15:17:33.291-04:00What a great video!

I'll have to tell my instructor. <br /><br />We play table games sometimes in class to make sure our dogs know there job and don't skid off.<br /><br />Another fun one is to set it up like an obedience recall with your dog in a sit stay facing you and a table in between. Release the dog and say 'down' or 'stay' or 'table', or what ever you say when they get on the table. The first time most dogs bounce off and come see the handler.<br /><br />After this exercise is mastered we release our dogs from a start line stay running toward the table full kilt. We still use there table 'command' or 'single' as we approach the table but instead of stopping when we get to the table we keep running right by. Usually this gets the dog to give us that same hop on hop off behavior that you sometimes see at trials. Usually this takes several steps a bit easier to get success (first run then come to a slow stop taking three steps past - run until the table then walk past- to full run)<br /><br />I like these games because the instill that if a table is in your path regardless of where I am or what I'm going you collect get on the table and stay till released.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08512770781928813394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1554594557452545158.post-77276427605276436432011-08-15T13:52:01.138-04:002011-08-15T13:52:01.138-04:00Good job, love the tunnel idea!

I think anytime you can make something a fun game and isolate one part of the behavior, just getting on the table it is a good thing!Kathy Mocharnukhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03029142726866533193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1554594557452545158.post-83658637481081330942011-08-15T07:49:32.809-04:002011-08-15T07:49:32.809-04:00Excellent idea!!!

It was so awesome to see Miley skidding to a stop on the table and obviously so excited to go on to the tunnel. She is so fast and so powerful!
