Due the continuing heat and my injured finger I decided to have a play with the Topmatic ball rather than  try a two handed tug.  Her head is not high as it should be and she is forward and wrapping a bit. Also I have to say 'out' more than once. Any comments about how to better use the Topmatic would be appreciated. Also Mya's preferred tug style is getting down on her haunches, face to face with me and digging in for a one-on-one tug of war. I try avoiding this style of tug and keep ing her close as she is so strong but again all suggestions appreciated.

Watching both of your video, I think its pretty fun to see the difference in energy that Mya puts forth when you're using a toy and when you're using food. Mya almost looks like she's buckling down and putting on her reading glasses, getting ready to learn with food...and then letting her hair down and getting ready to party with a toy! Its cool to see from my perspective. She looks really good and her energy is great. Maybe some of the exercises against the wall with the top matic on your left front shoulder would help with her head position and toy usage.

Oh my gosh this is beautiful!  I love David's description lol!

Lol Dave, your comment was exactly what I was thinking. She's so calm, focused and thoughtful for the food. When the toy's in the picture she really struts her stuff!

Good to see her targeting is improving!

Really nice to watch.  Love both of your energy here.

Congrats, Dave for your description. I would not be able to express it like you. Admirable work, Cheryl!!! Such a pleasure to watch it again and again, I realize that I can learn much of this performance, when trying with my other Pit and my Lab, though they are far from this level until now.

Very lovely and neat work. Love the moving target on release :)

A couple things that came to mind up to :17...

1) Throw in a left 360degree turn variably as you work left in your figure eights. It will make a good impression on her.

2) Let her move backward to take the reward off your back instead of you turning for her to take it. It's too easy on her when you do all the turning:) She's got to move back in position and then jump up to take it. This will require more effort from her - that's a good thing!

Fun drill: Try doing a slow, continuos left pivot while Mya turns with you. Mark, stop, and let her shift back to take toy. Eventually you can mark and not stop - keeping going, while she has to shift really far back to get toy!!!

Same thing with the 1:00 mark - Mya can work backwards to be able to then jump up and take the ball. 

As a general pointer, try doing more left work and side-pass work in your heeling. If you're not aware of side-pass work we can talk about it in a live chat, but I'm sure you know or have seen it. 

You've got great stuff in place here! Just a few minor changes and I'll bet you'll like the result!
