Lesson 6 : The arm's length retrieve, The Turn to SSIF, the HOLD Part 2

Class, 

Anyway, this week, Lesson 6 you are doing the following:

1. Retrieve at arm's length against an obstacle, introduce 'The Turn' to SSIF while simultaneously caging the muzzle with right hand and using left hand (once the EC has been done if needed) to then put under either the chain collar OR you may also have a flat buckle collar on the dog and use your left fingers to put through the collar and pull the dog forward into SSIF. Use the bridging word, "Yes" to help the dog understand it now CAN move with the item in it's mouth.

1. In a separate training session, not back to back, do Part 2 of the "HOLD". See the video of me working Moxie on a tree stump below.  This was part of Moxie's HOLD Part 2 practices towards the end of her week. 

Here's the sequencing for this Part 2 this week.

1. Do a 5 second HOLD with distractions
2. Do a 10 second HOLD with distractions
3. Do a 20 second HOLD with distractions
4. Do a 40 second HOLD with distractions
5. Do a 60 second HOLD with distractions
6. Do another 90 second HOLD with distractions
