Look Ma! No leash! Steadiness drill

Great video Jenn. What nice weather!!!! Have fun and keep us up to date.

Shoot a gun watch the birds fly and watch the dog go

You said, "Sit," and, "Stay," several times. Do you think that repeating a command like you did could undo the original command?

I would prefer to make a correction when the infraction occurred.

HAhahHAAHAHahahahHaAHAHahah

So you were able to persuade a rug NOT to get in the water?

Look out Lardy regards

Bubba

Beautiful pup and good lilttle lesson.i'm not big on Goldens but she sure is nice looking.

@ Bubba I'm still laughing at that one...

@ Howard if you don't believe in corrections you have to increase the reward schedule to avoid the repeated commands/movement on the dog's part.

Nice 'looking dog' !
The girl is off to her first Trial.
...............
Over here, the judges are looking for the dog to do the actions without the requirement or command to be steady,that way they 'Know' the dog has learned,rather than being continuously 'told'?..That would be 'Controlled' behaviour rather than 'Learned behaviour'. (Just my tuppence!) from afar?

Thanks for the video Jen. Nice looking girl and nice work.

PM SENT.

Interesting, when you consider that body language from the handler is usually far more meaningful to the dog than the actual verbal cues. No argument, just interesting.

We live in an area were there is a lot of resident geese and when we are out and about she doesn't pay much attention to them. They can fly around,honk and just make all kinds of racket and she doesn't pay them much attention but let one of those suckers back pedal over decoys and its all she can do to contain herself!
