Ah ok, thank you that is a bit clearer. So yes, I think we are at 100% when there is not an animal scent. So I wanted to now gradually start on...
Thanks Heidrun. It varies - I generally try to do all my training away from areas that might be likely to have a scent she wants to hunt. And I...
That works nicely if there is not a scent that she wants to hunt. She runs along close to me, checking in, getting the odd retrieve, sit stay,...
Ooh I am sorry Stacia I am still v confused! Sorry I am being so slow! So, we've been working in slightly easier places and the recall has got up...
We have an almost-enclosed large paddock (a public one though) but it does still have rabbits in and pheasants. I am not sure there any any grassy...
Yes it is quite rabbity, and yes dawn and dusk during the week so I guess it is very challenging. Although sometimes she is perfect and other...
You've done amazingly with him :) I look forward to one day walking with indie and not constantly jumping over and untangling a long line...
Yep I don't think pointers and Velcro go in the same sentence! Do you still walk Charlie on the training line? I was thinking about indie's...
Oh gosh cyclists! I'm lucky I don't get them! It sounds like you are doing really well with it - I hope I will get there with Indie Pindie one day :)
Ahh I think this is where my confusion is...I thought to 'fully train the recall' you had to somehow teach it in the presence of all possible...
Thank you :) I think Indie and Charlie are quite similar in some ways although you are a lot further along with Charlie! She knows 'this way' and...
But if I never try recalling her during the sniffing, how will she ever learn to break away from sniffing on the whistle? I guess I have to try at...
Ah thank you! I was tying myself into knots trying to work out how to get distance from a sniff, but I had forgotten about just waiting until the...
Sorry if this question is kind of the same as all my other questions - but I think I'm more confused than ever! And sorry it's so long. I am still...
Don't add 'hot cross bun' to the search terms though, who knows what you'll end up with :eek:
Thank you, I'll try the switch retrieve and see how I get on :) and I like the idea of sometimes winning the tuggy game and sometimes letting her...
When we look back now its kind of funny but terrible at the time! The looks we got walking through the village squeaking precious Bus-puppy with...
Ooh I shall play with Indie's dummy tonight and have a most amazing time, indie can just watch :) if my husband didn't think I was barmy enough...
Thank you, that is great! For the switch retrieve, can it be delivered to hand and then throw the next one? Or does that make it too boring? I...
I think for some dogs, the first season is definitely a bit of a non-event - Indie only had a few little drops of blood and no promiscuous...
