I missed the 'Jump-Jump-Jump' Lesson 7 Exam yesterday, so I figured we would start with that one, today. (The garbage can was a miss on my part. 😬)
Next we headed to the library to complete Lesson 8's Stair Exam. She forged a little more than I would have liked, but she held onto the dumbbell! 😁
I was considering working her retrieves against Home Depot decorations, but after our trips around Monroe I was spent, so we barely got this exam in at bedtime.
I had a struggle, but she did pretty well, considering. ☺️
After the stair test and some LL warmup (she walked right past Niko without veering off at all!), we headed to the stage at Lion's Park to try out the FC 'Silence is Golden' Exam. I am actually having more trouble with Riley dragging than forging during our heeling exercises. I have tried the forward-right diagonal step to bring her in line, but it didn't work great. Pointers?
After our retrieves tonight, a Riley got to play tug with her distraction/buddy.

ReplyDeleteThese videos are great Kat, but the sidebar conversations are quite funny. "You better be dressed because we are filming!", "Did you brush your teeth?" "I stepped forward with the wrong foot🤦♀️." "I reviewed all of this at home..did I remember it all?"😆
ReplyDeleteFor the lagging while heeling, wincing Riley will motivate her to speed up and stay in Heel position. Love the Stair Test and that Riley won the ball game against Niko🤭
Great work Kat!!!
Haha you have to be ready for any eventuality when you’re dealing with Autism! 😆
DeleteAnd of course- wincing! I will remember to add that to my toolbox for today. 👍❤️
Kat, you are doing a phenomenal job with Riley. I love watching your videos! They make me laugh 🤣 I can so relate to your “silence is golden” comment. The hardest part is for me to be silent.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mary! ❤️
