Hand holding, general support and best of all a place to brag about the successes. Share with words. Share with photos. Share with video. This is your home place for the next 14 weeks. Let the retrieve journey begin.
Yeah, at least that one towards the end of the video was successsful! The handler is doing fine, but remember to remain CCC at ALL times. Alice, on the SSIF, don't yank, simply to upward and slightly backward pressure. Use you left hand on the flat buckle collar with will give you more leverage instead of the leash.
Give Mabel, and you, a break for the rest of this evening. Try again tomorrow.
I took a breather. I tried to do the exam by myself today, and Kimber ruined it. She kept jumping off her place onto the training table while I was working her. Mabel did well, but I couldn't control 2 dogs at once.
Another Attempt. I think there were 6 ECs this time. She did ok at the practice before this.
