How do you get a very close front sit? How do you combine the recall for front sit for food reward vs the running "Here" command from a distance recall, that is more of a retrieve exercise and a two ball or two hose exercise? In other words, in his mind, the flying recall to receive the ball reward is a separe excerice in his mind fron the front sit that is done for food reward, even though the "here" command is used in both cases. How do you combine the long distance recall with the front sit taught with food into a combined exercise? How do you get a very, very close front sit?
If I were to pick the most important principle in obedience training it would be that all obedience exercises are taught in steps. The first step is to teach the sit and reward after it is performed. Then you teach the recall and reward for that. Then you combine them both and only reward when both are performed. And I could pick either the sit or the recall and break that down to even more steps. It is very important to keep to a step by step mentality when approaching any obedience exercise.
Hello,
I like to use food to learn the sit infront.
I put a cookie in my mounth and if the dog sit nice infront I drop it into his mounth. For the dog inorder to catch the cookie he has to be very close and needs to look at you. In the beginning the cookies will drop on the ground till the dog know what he has to do.
I like to do this because then you get a dog who looks at you while sitting infront and keeps focused on your FACE not your hands or pocket where your ball usually is.
