Gia - session 805 - lunge over jumps
I took Gia out to a different field to lunge over a few jumps that she doesn't normally go over. However, she does live in the field with these jumps. She warmed up nice and relaxed with her trot for a few laps in each direction. Then I had her go over the black pipe and white pipe jumps, and those were no problem. After each successful jump, I clicked the clicker and she got a treat. When I pointed her at the large tire jump, however, she stopped to check it out. After just a few seconds, she did go over it, and we repeated the process to make sure she was good. The same things happened when I sent her over it in the opposite direction. After that, she decided to throw a bit of a temper tantrum, and went flying around on the lunge line, even throwing in a giant leap and buck. I just allowed her to wear herself out with her galloping. When she was finally tired, and ready to be more obedient, I pointed her at the jump again, in each direction. She went over it with no problems, I clicked, and she got her treat.
