The point is, he understands what it means to stay in a down position, regardless of circumstance, if told.
We did the full sch1 routine yesterday. It needs a lot of cleaning up but the general outline is there. He's running the blind and coming into the B&H nicely off lead. We're not doing 30 sec barks or anything but we're getting 3-5 solid barks and he gets a bite. We're building on that.
Nice explosion into the escape, we had issues with outing but it's a new exercise to time. The reattck looks good, he had no issues with being driven nor with the stick hits. We tried some back transport heeling and he needs help there. The courage bite looked very nice the two times we tried it yesterday. It was a bite and a slip... no drive. |
so you did long bites for the 1st time but you think your dogs ready to title??? you just truly dont get what the importance there is in letting a young dog be a young dog in the long run your dog will suffer from the training and will eventually revert back to the foundation which there was none. and that will leave you at a trial watching one of the helpers you called out or one of the many helpers they will tell run your dog off the field all the way to germany just to prove a point.
