A place to learn a new language, the Koehler Method of Dog Training, which is an entire language of communication between owner(s)/handlers and their dogs. Let the journey begin....

Bravo Kim for not giving up. For continuing to work with Kara, for being open to training yourself and steadily improving your mechanics so Kara has clarity in exactly what you want her to do.
Kara did 💯 as this entire video is THE BEST I have seen the two of you do thus far. Totally impressed me and this location is perfect for this EXAM.
My only pointer?
Don't have her drag a leash for the Recall. Either take a light line for her to drag or do her 💯% off leash. Why? Whenever a dog has on a leash or LL, they are 'working' and we want them yo equate that equipment with formal obedience. Dragging a leash trains a dog to ignore or discount the leash. We don't want a learning dog to EVER ignore or discount that 'a leash on = working mode.'
