Fun afternoon

[jarbo03]

Got Taz out for the first time since hunting season closed, was a little rusty but was having much needed fun. Set up a 150 yard blind before leaving, cast wasnt good but job was accomplished.

Yella dog bailed off the couch and took off straight to the bedroom. Dog still hates strange recorded noises lol

I noticed you asked the dog to "Mark" the blind and sent the dog on "Back". Which I find a little odd. Are you using "Mark" to get the dog excited?

On marked birds, I usually send the dog on the dogs name ("Wendy" in my case) and on blinds, send the dog on "Back".

Great video of a nice looking dog.

when I line Charlie or Cadee up on a blind I'll tell em to mark. Did it outta habit after throwing marks for Charlie when he was younger. Is it wrong? Dunno. But on those occasions when I heel em and they're alittle loose, a little "Mark" perks em up, draws their attention and lines their nose with their spine. But I do give a "back" command on blinds and their name on marks.

If its wrong and anyone can give me sound reasoning behind it, I'll gladly change what I do

Thanks Ron. I have always done the same as Redbeard stated. Use his name if he sees it the mark, back on a blind. Also open to suggestions. This isn't something we've spent much time on, and I'm not much of a retriever trainer. After NAVHDA tests i plan to join HRC so i can learn more.

[Olly]

I do like Ron does. On a watched mark I release on his name because he's already so tense wanting to go get it his legs shake. On a blind retrieve I give a back command.

Yea he his, his back command is better than Moose's. My dog has a habit that I cannot break of him stopping every 50ft and looking at me for fruther direction on a back command. A follow up back hand signal sends him further back.

I think you are a pretty good retriever trainer. I know the perfectionist in you will settle for nothing less than....perfect.

I'm not a "hunt test" judge. If it works, if be happy with it. I'm just happy if I can get my dog to retrieve what she sees fall.

Yea I'm very happy with him it's just a funny quirk and I don't know what I did to make him do it.

This is what I did, and occasionally Taz will still do it. When he pops, ignore him. Tie yoyr shoe, or get in your bag, let him know he's on his own. If he stands there waiting, recall and send again. I'm sure there are drills to help, or better ways to work on this.

Yes but it seems to discourage him on the drive rather than press the point of not stopping.

Seems to me we've discussed this before. Might once have been that he just wasn't well conditioned to believe taking the line would get him to the bird and needed more conditioning to that end. But by this point that's compounded by him probably believing he's doing the right thing, which you're inadvertently reinforcing it by responding with another cue.

Generally when a pup that understands taking a line leads to success pops up close like that, the best thing you can do is nothing at all. Just wait him out, and he'll eventually spin and continue back. But when you honor a pop with a handle, you're conditioning the pop.

Were your dog mine, I'd stick my hands in my back pockets and go back to square one of teaching blind retrieves according to whatever program you used and shorten the initial distances so much Pup hardly had a chance to pop before he was at his target. Particularly so with so much of the off season available to put the annoyance behind you before the open season's demands again tempts the short term expediency of further ingraining it.

If you try that sort of collar use with your gal, expect to get sideways. She'll not know what the correction is for. You read it here first...

Not sure where this sweet quote came from, I quoted Olly but yet Tapatalk freaked out. Hasn't let me check a thread since this post, works on all other forums though. Rick explained it well also.

I don't know why you'd be singled out. Is your Tapatalk up to date? It's hard to tell you why when you're the only one.

That is what's weird. I have reinstalled tapatalk pro and the free many times, along with any updates.
