Hello
I have been teaching my 1 year old rotty the first blind,method I used was piece of food in bowl,bowl in blind,dog going round blind with good speed nice and tight ,I have a spotter to signal me when dog has grabed food I give the here command and dog comes with good speed. Over time I have been getting further avay from blind.
My question, I have reached a distance where the dog looks over his shoulder at me which is slowing him up, Have I moved to far to quick?
Also what is the distance between first and second blind?
Thanks Brent
Blind search is a drive based behavior, if you don't have an intense level of desire to attain the end....the bark and guard exercise you will lack in the search. Doing a few food motivated skills where the dog rounds the blind for a youngster is fine, it is an intro but don't stake your training performance in that. You would be wasting your time.
Time do develop grip, and guard behaviors at one year of age and motivated enjoyable obedience and tracking.
