She made us work, or should that be she made me work Occy hard. Nothing like a bit of self motivation, and Occy doesn’t have a real good work ethic. The main thing was to slow down his tempo and still get him moving his legs with energy. So we were trying to work on 3 things. Rhythm, tempo and size of steps.
· Rhythm is the regularity of the steps, like the regular ticking of the seconds.
· Tempo is the speed of the ticking so to speak, to slow the tempo you try to make to seconds last longer.
I could get the tempo slowed with energy, then when asking him to lengthen the steps Occy would mostly try to speed up the rhythm the little cheat. I would love to have some mirrors on the arena at home to see what Occy does with his legs when I slow the Tempo. Anybody have any cost effective (cheap) ways to install an outdoor mirror?
