Have been teaching articles away from track as a separate exercise.
Due to not knowing the rules I had been letting my dog touch the article with his chin /jaw and sometimes throat resting on the article ,article still between front legs.
Is this in correct?
To correct this could I hold the article in my hand ,dog sniffs article click give dog food,then progress to the floor.
It's been years since i competed Rules change, it use to be between the front legs as long as the dog didn't mouth it i wouldn't let the dog sniff it in my hand i would lay a few articles away from the track walk the dog up to them and down him. them a piece of food. let the dog rest, then pick up the article, to the next one. Never release the dog with the article on the ground. In a SCH trial the judge is usually behind you (some walk to the side to see better) as soon a the dog downs go and pick it up, show it to the judge before the dog screws it up. lol i the judge doesn't see it they can't take away point's.
Just as John remembers, no touch. But in the beginning there is a lot of leeway so do not make drastic changes. If the dog is indicating with a slight touch, let it go. Later on the dog will be solving many more problems as you tighten the criteria, indicating will become a godsend (in the dogs mind)
