Quinn just turned 3-months-old last week. Second time out of the van at the park & first long recall & front finish. His commands are in Czech. At the end of the video, I tell him to "touch" which means target my hand. He's a little excited, so he goes up on his back legs but that's easy to fix. Look at the little guys speed
Hi Scott--it's communication--markers and targets. Getting him into perfect position is one of the easiest things to do. Train him to target your hand--then mark the behavior--then reward him. The only thing you need to do is find out what motivates him the most (I use food for puppies--(especially this puppy will work forever for food), communicate consistently & clearly with him with markers. Train targets close up first then increase the distance gradually for a few weeks. This was his first long-distance target. I also reward in the front center every single time so he gets as close as he can to get his reward as fast as he can. Also, you need to train the release command so your dog knows when he's released & can get his reward.
Sue, I have to tell you, I LOVE watching him working.
I have sent quite a few people to your YouTube videos when they tell me I train my pup too much; that they can't learn much at this age. HA! Look at that baby go, and he is having a BLAST!
EXCELLENT work, but that must be trick photography or something. Everyone knows ya have to keep em kenneled up till they reach a yr old.
One of them mean ol Tiekerhook dogs too! Must be a trick or something! Probably had to beat that pup pretty hard to make it run so fast.
!!!LOVE IT!!!

Awesome, thank you very much. We've got to work on targeting, then.

She's a slavish lick-splittle of a cur who's working purely out of selfishness.
Just wait til we see her tracking. The foot steps are probably caked in food too.
