On my walk with Hattie we do some sit/wait recall training, there is a particular field with a left hand bend, I leave Hattie at the top by the stile and walk 30 ish meters and recall her and she always cuts across the corner, so for a few weeks I have been stretching my left arm straight out to direct her and inched round the corner - hurray she doesn't cut the corner any more and watches my arm, so I guess we have been doing a little directional work of sorts :-\ xx
Re: No More Cutting Corners Oooh how exciting, I'm going to try some more and see how Hattie gets on Thank you ladies xx
Re: No More Cutting Corners She is following your direction Helen.....she always was though. You recalled her and she came straight towards you which meant cutting the corner. Now you're telling her to go left and she is. She's a clever, clever girl ;D
Re: No More Cutting Corners Thank you everyone, but I have an apology to make to Hattie ;D I was telling David what she did and he said that was way more than 30 meters, so I went back with her this morning and, yes, I measured it, it was 75 METERS, so an extra special treat for Hattie, sorry my lovely for misjudging your capabilities xx
