How do you cure a dog of passive resistance? What I mean by passive resistance is when we attempt to send a dog on a blind; he does not want to go and does anything to delay going or not focusing on what you want. As you try to adjust for position before you send the dog, he gets up and goes pee. If he does not go pee, he looks the other way, or he will lower his head and act like he is not paying attention. He will also munch grass. Basically, he will do anything that he can in order to not go on a blind. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

If your dog is properly forced on back that's exactly what I'd do. I don't care where he's looking..... :?

A dog has got to go, stop, come in and change direction. Keep it simple and discipline accordingly.

Thank you Angie! What sort of corrections would you recommend? The dog has not been forced back to the pile, yet but if it keeps this up, he will be. The program that has been followed is Tritronic's Total Retriever Training, or something like that, along with over 20 years of dog training experience, but this is a new problem and it has not been covered in any material that I have read. Thanks again for the posts; please keep them coming.

Sounds like you need a refresher course......

You missed a bunch of fundemental steps that would make your life and the life of your dogs more smoother. There is a lot of better, more progressive training material out there. Seek that out along with the help of a knowledgeable pro, and or training group. Forcing isn't rocket science but timing is crucial.
