I had a video lesson with Kari Bowser, 1 star Parelli Professional, on session #13, as I was finally able to get it on video. This is the video that I submitted to her:
Friendly game: was pretty good but I have to remember to not overdo it as Bailey can become too desensitized to the carrot stick.
Driving game: I do not get to phase four and instead get stuck at phase three.
Porcupine game: combine driving game with porcupine game to help Bailey back up.
FQ yield: to get it to the next level I need to communicate to Bailey to pivot on her outside hind foot by getting just the right balance of her weight so that she doesn't walk forward but does not cross over behind with her front legs.
Yoyo game: I need ask Bailey to lower her head and roll her weight back with some feel on the halter. I need to stay as close as is needed to help her understand better.
Circling game: during the send I need to focus on zone two first. I have been pointing the carrot stick at her HQ. It would also help if I asked Bailey to back up first so that her weight is on her HQ and she can move her front feet over and start the circle.
Overall:
We have established great rapport, the next step would be to get more playful!
I need to have a"tag you're it!" playful attitude and be more provocative.
I also need to start practicing pushing Bailey outside of her comfort zone just enough to get her to think " Oh my! What was that! " and then help her calm down. This will help both of us get emotionally fit.
I need to remember that when teaching I reward the slightest try, however when refining I reward when she is light.
