Having some fun with the Girls and my new Flip Video Camera!

Pyper has been doing weaves for about a year and a half, but we still continue to practice and proof.  She gets so excited when we practice that she insists on barking at me....somewhat annoying but I am glad she is so enthusiastic.  Well since I won the Flip Video camera I have been taking some videos of the girls, I just set the camera up on the tripod and go.  Well this past week I downloaded a new program for my computer called Windows Live Movie Maker, it is so much fun.  This is the first video I made.

Hallie has been on the weaves for a year this month, I looked back at past blog posts and she started her 2x2 training in October of last year.  She is still doing really well, needs more proofing but she also has such a good time practicing I don't think she will object to more proofing.  Here is her video. 

Well I have finally taken the time to train Mia on the weaves and yes course I used the 2x2 method.  While training I discovered that if she gets frustrated she shuts down in a way, looses interest in the game because it isn't fun.  This was different with the other two girls, if Pyper got frustrated she would start to talk back, and Hallie....well I don't think she gets frustrated!!!! LOL  Gotta love that girl.  Mia did not get the same treatment that Pyper and Hallie got, I did not train 3 times a day with her like I did with them, I only trained once or twice in an evening.  This wasn't a strategic move or anything I was just being lazy.... :)  The other challenge with Mia is the fact that she really does not like the feel of the grass on her feet...especially if it is wet.  So to start off we had to do all our training on concrete in order to make it rewarding enough, training on grass at first was out of the question because it was very demotivating.   Well all challenges aside I think we are finally getting somewhere, check out the video and let me know what you think.
