Training – A blind with a marked retrieve as a distraction.

Wednesday, August 21st, 2019

Below i have added two videos, the first is of Treacle our 9 month old black Labrador and the second is Timber our Golden Retriever who’s 2 years old.

I’m doing the same activity with them but they are at different levels as you will see.

Treacle – A double mark.

I took Treacle out training somewhere different to see what results we got on new ground.

Treacle had a few retrieves from the pond and stubble filed individually which then built her up to a double mark. One retrieve from the water and the second from the field of stubble.

It was an extremely windy night but Treacle took most of it in her stride use the wind well to find the dummies.

Treacle – learning to look!

It may sound simple that you want a dog to look in the direction your hand is pointing but towards something they haven’t seen placed. This is where it can become more of a challenge!

I’m just starting to teach Treacle to look down my hand and if she looks in the right direction she will see dummies which hopefully stand out to build her confidence.

As you’ll see from the videos I’m having mixed results at present!

Vixen – training continues to go well.

With the heat of summer we have been very careful not to over exercise our young dogs and cause any issues.

Now the weather is back to normal we have been back on the training field. I have taken a step back to see if the young dogs are still understanding their training.
