If the cap is leaking due to increasing pressure, you have two options; you can remove the cap and release all the pressure at once (end the training session and/or put the dog away), or you can release a little pressure and still have a usable amount of pressure in the tank. We use the second option to train in drive, and that is the optimal learning environment for a high drive dog. To release some of the pressure, we do a couple of really basic commands that the dog knows well, such as position changes or a little heeling. We reward these and then call the dog back to the basic position (whatever that may be for you and your dog... either heel position waiting for a command or facing you waiting for a command). At this point the dog should be in a comfortable but excited state of mind, his focus should be on you, and his anticipation should be keen. Sadie

Teach it with markers and form there slowly build up duration, distance and distractions but never more then one of the three at one time. It only takes 1-2 seconds in the beginning and immediately mark and reward the dog. time is sloooooly added over a period of time depending on the dog and your skills. As mentioned you don't want to add distance at the same time as distance or distractions. The Michael Ellis Video "The Power of Training Dogs with Food" is outstanding with explainiations on this subject as with many more. I have no connections with Leerburg other then being a forum Moderator so this is just something that I really believe in. Of course we will still help you from the Forum here. old dogs LOVE to learn new tricks
