A place to learn a new language, the Koehler Method of Dog Training, which is an entire language of communication between owner(s) and their dog. Let the journey begin.
Ah-hum...yes you CAN use a family member as a distraction. The only thing is that the family member can't use their dog's name nor can they use their body to indicate to the dog to come to them. I always use owner's as distractions when I demo Week 6 TC with their dog.
GREAT handling. On the Finish, remember your Halt footwork as you did it bass akwards several times. And no Safety Loop when doing the Cool Down mechanic. And don't bend on the Recall as every student you have will mimic that and we don't want to train a new student to ever bend on the Recall.
Didn't take long for Sofie to connect the mental dots, did it?
