Please post a Lesson 5 EXAM with 5 consecutive retrieves, in HIGH distractions, with no EC required @ 12" while heading to the ground.
Remember the DB remains in your right hand as you present on command of "Fetch". If working against a stool or object (at dog's eye level), you can step forward with your right foot to communicate to the dog (Stay, now Turn). Once the stool or object is just above the ground, then do not step forward with right foot as a dog may need to step UNTO the stool or object to fetch. STRIVE TO NOT MOVE YOUR FEET AT ALL at this point in the training. Not always possible, but try.
DO NOT PLACE DB ON THE GROUND, it remains above the ground.
Do this EXAM with your dog at whatever stage of the 'heading to the ground' you are ag.
Do the Turn to SSIF, "Give", praise.
