I had my second video lesson with Kari today.
Here is what I need to work on with Brandy:
1. I need to look at her opposite hip instead of down when doing the hindquarter yield.
2. When she gets stuck at the yoyo game, I need to add more energy with the stick or flap my arms to help her get unstuck. Also when she takes one really good step, I should drop what I am doing and go rub her to let her know that was what I wanted.
3. At the circling game, when she changes direction without me asking her, I shouldn't make her feel wrong with a bump on the rope but just practice the change of direction instead.
4. I will start using more obstacles like cones, a hula hoop or a ball.
5. I need to focus on having more flow between games.
