A place to gain transformation and develop teamwork, at a whole new level, during the retrieve training journey. A place to grow, to learn, to see yourself differently.
The Chair Test for the learning dog is started with the Setup, if needed, then it is done without ANY Setup. However, for the sake of the Demo Team, this was an excellent Ah-Ha moment on what mental stamina is required of a trained Demo Dog. That Demo Dog MUST be able to accept any/all steps, steps it has already thoroughly learned, and do so in a calm, quiet self-controlled manner. It requires enormous mental stamina, discipline and strength for a dog to go from 'trained' to becoming a solid, reliable 'Demo Dog'.
