FC Week 10 exam, two parts

 The first video is the test up to the extended stays.  I can clearly see with this video in particular that I need to shorten my steps and pick up the pace.  I'll keep working on that.  From weeks 5-9 Piper's Recall to SSIF have been sound.  This last week she has majorly regressed.  She comes easily but finishes really sloppy.  We made multiple attempts after the video was stopped.  Including place board/no place board,  long lines and short lines.  She did okay on a 6' but not great.  I am going to restart her on this command back to square one to try and rebuild it properly.  The only thing I can think has changed is joining the RC and HHPR.  I suspect the lack of peer pressure is showing on this solo command, especially since she was performing it fine yesterday at HHPR.


Video 1 - She's a bit distracted but responded well to pace change and not stopping abruptly like I did on the first halt.  She recalls almost perfectly every time, but has broken down on the sit.  Even the finish is generally slow but solid, but def not the sit.  I'll start doing beginner recall/ssif/finish doodles multiple times a day to see if it changes.  Suggestions appreciated!




Video 2 - 3 minute sit/stay and 5 minute down/stay.  I had to reset the down at the 3 minute mark because she was distracted by a bug walking in front of her nose... never thought to drill against bugs. lol  She nailed the second effort.
