www.sitmeanssit.com Fred Hassen and 20 month old “Kohl” show some of the steps he takes in proofing a young Labrador to ‘watch’ or ‘mark’ an object. This is useful in many sport dog venues whether it is AKC obedience, retriever training, police dog, or just to show a friend a cool trick. Part 2 of this video can be found here www.youtube.com
www.franchise.sitmeanssit.com You can practice lining drills just about anywhere that you go. In this video, I am using the distraction of a dog training class to teach my dog to line directly to the proper bumper that I throw. I am also using the hula hoops as a distraction. In prior videos, you have seen the dog only run through the Hulu hoop but you can tell that he only sees things in terms of straight lines. I have had a few questions from people on the prior hoop videos that the dog is going to run through the hula hoop no matter what, but you can see that is obviously not the case. The dog needs to go where you send him. All of the distraction of the moving dogs also helps in the training of teaching the dog to focus on the proper one you are sending him to and to pay attention. I am also mixing in returns to both sides. There is limited space in this video obviously, but it is best to be imaginative in any setting that is presented to you. My Labrador Retriever ‘Kohl’ is 1 1 years old.

www.sitmeanssit.com These are some little drills that you can do to make your dog comfortable in running through different types of terrain without having to go out to the field every day. Sometimes you may have a young dog and you may want to practice stuff like this in a nearby parking lot, schoolyard, or just about anywhere even if you live in the city. The more things your dog becomes comfortable in running through, the more confident he will be. It’s one less thing that he has to think about because he will be used to this type of stuff by the time he needs to run through it if he becomes a field dog, and even if he only has to compete on grass and never sees this in a trial, he will still be better. The dog in this video is a 1 year old Black Labrador Retriever that will run hunt tests as he gets older.
www.sitmeanssit.com In my daily dog training video, I ponder the question if both the ‘Fetch’ and ‘Hold’ commands are both necessary, or if you can get by with just ‘Fetch’ for your retriever. Of course you can! Leave your comments!
www.sitmeanssit.com In this video I show how I throw doubles in the early stages with my young black Labrador Retriever who is 1 year old. This early drill done this way helps to build steadiness. There are lots of variations you can use also.
