Some aframes since Chandra needs to keep working on it and Blizzard needs mat reminders after making high hits at the trial. Didn’t measure it but I think it’s around 5′3″, which seems to be a good training height for Chandra. And I thought that was CPE height but apparently that’s 5′. So we’ll probably bounce back and forth between 5′ and 5′3″ since our next trial might be CPE in November.

A-frame mat a few days ago. I don’t want to jinx it but a) we might actually be making some (some) progress b) revisiting the dogwalk mat for the millionth time might be helping the aframe mat. Look at those rear feet hits!

how many props does it take to train an aframe

Running contacts - a primo example of the rollercoaster of good days and bad days. Yesterday was a bad day. Today was a good day.

revisiting the box groundwork is going super well

Mat on a hill! Good way to work “touch the mat on an incline” but not on the aframe. This is Blizzard’s second session with this.

She’s not super enthusiastic here. We’re back to struggling a bit with her engagement and enthusiasm for training.

Aframe at 4′. We’ve been kiiiind of stuck here for a while, but I think after another session or two we’ll be able to bump the height up. Blizzard shows good understanding of needing to touch the mat.

I think rather than work up some speed on approach at this height, we might do better sticking with closer approaches, raising the aframe, then increasing distance/speed on the approach when the aframe is at full height. Increasing speed at the low height makes it easy for her to get too much air over the apex and have a harder time adjusting to hit the mat, though she sure tries.

Second session back on the aframe after spending some time revisiting the box groundwork. A-frame at 4′ (full height is 5′6″). Minimal handler motion at this stage. I need to remember to put out corner poles so Chandra doesn’t cut the corner too much on turns. In watching some of our very early a-frame training, I also had a stride regulator near the top so I should probably put that back on. It would help her drive deeper over the apex to the contact zone.
