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.
Hi. We tried again tonight. I'm sorry that I didn't see the info about swing Roxanne, or move. Did I miss it? Do the 5 retrieves on the test have to be consecutive? No EC's correct? Thanks! Nancy
Haven't posted the "Swing" video yet. Yes, thr 5 retrieves in HIGH distractions are to be consecutive and sequential.
You aren't doing anything 'wrong', but Sofie is avoiding the retrieve BECAUSE of the close proximity to HIGH distractions.
My only pointer? Cease using extra, unnecessary verbiage like "Come-On" or "Get-it" when she doesn't put her mouth on DB. Just increase the EC immediately when she is slow or sluggish to complete the job.
