Thanks Bob, I will make one of those this weekend....as a tentative for now not having cow hide can I use a towel at the end? I guess it would work.
You can tie most anything on it.
For you, Solange, I would check with Willie to make sure the flirt pole isn't counter productive to your work. You've been doing so great I'd hate to suggest something that would set you back.

I'm wondering if I could have trained my bull terrier with marker training.
Maybe!
I had a neighbor back in the '80s who owned a field-bred Black Lab and a show-line White Bull Terrier (not hearing impaired) -- He used books/videos by the now late Richard A. Wolters for training both dogs through their UD ... The lessons were correction-based, but NOTHING like any Old School yank & crank methods we all shudder to even remember anymore, and each of his beasties worked Beautifully & Cheerfully earning consistently high scores in ACK obedience trials So I'm betting that with modern-day Marker Training you could have had your good ol' BT giving you Very Flashy obedience !!!

...My boy Kari, is so difficult to train. Yes I can keep him hungry and make him work for his survival, but where is the joy in that?
...Kari belongs to an ancient native hunting breed. He has a lot of self preservation instincts and will not do any thing that he is not comfortable with (will not try new things).
...Yes, there are breeds that are very difficult to train. Especially the ancient dogs that have always had to fight for their survival and lived in semi wild conditions.
Speaking as someone who has had a number of BASENJIS since the mid '60s (more than one of which was a direct import from the wild African bush) I agree with you 100% in your observations on Primitive Breeds !!! Obedience training with them can certainly be accomplished, but those beasties have virtually NOTHING at all in common with Herders & Bird Dogs. CONGRATULATIONS on the Great Results you've gotten with Kari
Like others have said, if a person is flexible in their training and works to find the "key" to unlocking the potential in their dog - no matter the breed - success can be had. I have an acquaintance that has put a *UDX* on a malamute. Another friend who has put a CD on a breed in each of the 7 AKC groups. Just this weekend I watched another friend do a fantastic job in the obedience and rally ring (getting HC in rally in fact) with her wire fox terriers that are retired champions (she is a professional handler).
My current competition bitch is technically an "off" breed for obedience but it has not stopped her from being a HIT all breed obedience winner as well as getting a UD and working towards her UDX/OTCH/Masters titles. I look at it as my dogs are only limited by my training skills and certainly not because they are not a golden or a BC :-)

ACD's are an off-breed for obedience? Interesting.
My "mentor", when I was training with North County Obedience Training Club many moons ago has put OTCH titles on both a rescue Sharpei and a rescue Pug.
She's been a Dalmations breeder forever and she's titled many,Dals to OTCHs. That club had 8 of the first 10 OTCH titles in Missouri.
It was her encouragement that helped me get my first Kerry Blue a National ranking out of his CD.

Yes, in upper level obedience competition ACDs would be considered an off breed. Not because they lack the ability to be competitive at that level, just that they are not a breed of choice for many competitors.

One of my close friends has put a couple OTChs on goldens (one was her novice A dog) and she has put UDs on her English setters. She says a UD on a setter is like an OTCH on a golden :-P

I can believe that. I think most setters today are noisy air heads. I know the Irish Setters are.
