If I could get My Mal to that point some day, I would be a happy camper. Anyways, I think it's better to not OUT very often, until the dog is very confident. Why? Because when you teach the dog Ivan's style.... Out = game of tug. Then the dog is expecting the game of tug right after the OUT. I could see this being a problem with a competition dog. Since I have not seen Ivan's video, I can't say for sure, so I am very limited in knowledge, but Bernards method teachs trust. Once the dog has the ball, it's his unless the handler wants it back. Bernards method = Drive building = a possible game of tug.
