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.
Where is the off-leash heeling portion of this EXAM? I saw the on-leash, the Bridging Link and the lovely Recalls, but not the actual off-leash where Sofie is heeling only dragging the light line?
Ah! I forgot to do the heel 10 steps, AS, sit/stay 6 feet 45 seconds on leash while dragging the light line, and then down/stay 6 feet 45 seconds EF's, also while on leash, then throw down the leash and do the recall/finish/EF. So, essentially I am doing the bridging link sequence twice? Since I still have the leash on and don't throw it on the ground until right before the 20 foot recall, correct? So sorry I got it jumbled in my head. Thanks! N
