UTILIZATION OF POSITIVE MARKER WITH STAYS, CHUTE FRONTS AND RECALLS

 

A TRAINING SESSION WITH JUSTICE

We started with the intention of doing chute fronts, and soon saw an opportunity to enhance his knowledge of:

• Straight Fronts
• Positive Markers
• Negative Markers
• Attention / Focus
• Want To & Have To

We set up the chutes because it is a good way to get straight fronts just the way you want them in the ring, with the dog seeing the same picture he will in the ring:

• You facing him 
• Your hands are not moving
• Hands at your side.

Chutes can be utilized to make the dog take responsibility for his own fronts, as opposed to you guiding him with subtle and not-so-subtle cues.

The equipment is two broad jump boards. I will reduce the size of the equipment as Justice progresses.

Happy training!
