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....
well, I thought we had done so well till i realized i did not use bridging link, that i picked up drag line. Aurrggg! so i made second video using bridging link.
Part of test I fuged with use of bridging link.
Recall at 20 feet.
This EXAM is GOOD! Considering all the effort, corrections and extra time invested in training Kara, alongside Hannah, there is TREMENDOUS improvement. Kara is giving AS's, heeling tighter close to you, not flaring as bad as she did previously, not lagging like she was doing (winching does help fix lagging, doesn't it?), and she is NOT forging nearly as much. Also, she IS starting when you say, "Heel" and her Sit/Stay and Down/Stays were excellent. Even your off leash was excellent and the Recall stellar.
Granted this EXAM was done at home, but hey girl, this is GOOD!!!! Bet you didn't think Kara could do this EXAM and pass this week, did you? 😏
