Lesson 11 EXAM

 Class,

This will be VERY interesting EXAMS.  

1) Each of you are to choose a new, varied, and HIGH distraction training environment for your dog on the RoF.  You are to do a video of 5 VERY HIGH and NEW distractions.

2) The RoHJ I just want a video of you doing that exercise 5 times.

That's it, that's your EXAM for this week. 

Here's some samples from long ago.

Sugar and being too slow  

 The original Red (Sugar's Dam)  

 Pree and the crippled duck (1st time)  

 Ghost, the Samoyed I trained and titled for a student  

 Boaz

 

As you can see from the above videos there is nada, zero, zilch, zip NO HESITATION with me when I command "Fetch" I expect the dog to obey or get EC's.  So, you should be doing the same as making the distractions HARD and UNCOMFORTABLE NOW pays off in huge dividends as the dog believes that you "said what your meant and meant what you said." Literally, that belief in the dog's mind is 95% of the retrieve work at this stage of the training.
