    It worked well and it is very Milner-esque but I got it from a Bobby Wills online seminar (Lone Oak Retrievers East). If you're getting good responses from the rope and your dog clearly understands...

    I had a little trouble on this as well. I was using Lardy which teaches the sit to pile similar to the way stawski does. However, I ended up teaching a good quick sit by rewarding the sit rather...

    Definitely don't put EAR drops in yours or your dog's eyes either. I was at a friend's house and saw what I thought were eye drops, put a drop in my eye and then thought my eye was melting/going...

    It sounds to me like there is a hole somewhere in the FF. Fetching from the hand, transitioning to the ground, walking fetch should establish "fetch" as a command. Your best advice would be to get...

    Could she have been bitten by an ant or spider on a sit? I would just relax and follow the advice already given. But a bite could be a reason that she displayed that fear as well.

    I should add along with the Lardy materials, a subscription to Retrievers ONLINE are the two best investments I've made in retriever training. They go hand in hand.

    I think Hillmann is coming out with a marking DVD as well but it may not be ready for when your pup goes home. Lardy TRM is very good and I believe it would fit well with Hillmann.

    KyleC,

    Not trying to be critical at all but just a heads up. I've always heard you should not have two pups at the same time. Here's Bill Hillmann on why. Scroll down to the 2-13-12 blog entry....

    The movie versions of most dog stories ussually aren't very good but Where the Red Fern Grows is still one of my favorite books.
