Brad . Martin Webboard User Reg: 09-14-2005 Posts: 587 Loc: Ontario, Canada Offline	Hi everyone, When doing a platz or sitz, from a distance, my dog will turn to face me. I have gotten a few ideas from here and other sources to correct the turning itself, i.e. train by fences or walls. (Any ideas on accomplishing this in an open field.. I am all ears). My question though, is there any reason to correct this? I do like that she will turn to face me on a down, especially if I down her when she sees a rabbit or something <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> but is it poor technique for the dog to do this? In a trial is there ever a time that this would affect score?

Brad . Martin Webboard User Reg: 09-14-2005 Posts: 587 Loc: Ontario, Canada Offline	I guess so <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> Unfortunatley I am unfamiliar with competition rules. That is the motivation behind my question <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> But anytime really. If my dog is roaming in a field and is 10m, 50m, even 100m away and I command "sit" or "down" she will; but, if she is not already facing me, she will turn before taking the proper position. So then, on a send away then, should she just drop in line with the direction she is moving or turn to face me? Thanx.

There were thousands and thousands of hits. I guess i should have been more specific. Thanks again <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
