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.
1) Use "Jump-Fetch-Jump" as command. You will need that build in verbal "Jump" for thr next level of training, the upcoming PPP Class.
2) Cease the "good girl" praise as she goes over the jump. Your praise should ONLY be for the command given, the exercise complete, and ONLY if the dog needs it to succeed. Constant praise or praise at the wrong time causes the praise to lose its power to motivate.
3) Step back farther away from Front Place Board when Fran returns to SSIF. Looks like she is to close.
Swing hand signal needs to be palm down to ground, a 270 counterclockwise circle, hand going away from your body in front and then returning on the 270 circle close to your body. You'll need clarity of that Swing hand signal for field work, for formal casting and for part of the upcoming PPP Class.
