Don,
We talked a little about positioning before adding speed in
the other thread. Very good thread....But for the sake of learning
could you give a specific situation where the dog is not in position so
we can look at it. You are off to a very good start here.
It is true you can't learn everything over the Internet, but you learn
some things and visualize better . It can be a tool, maybe not a
substitute. To the critics I would say, that the very best
thing you can have at your disposal is a really good dog to
start with and a top notch club to work at. Don't let ego's
of anyone slow your progress stay focused.
Drive and focus ....some dogs pick up the blind routine very
fast others seem to have trouble in the beginning but work it out.
This is where a good club comes in.
Keep these threads alive by breaking it down to very specific dogs and
problems you see. Be descriptive....Leaving it to open you may not get the right info.
I have watched many trainers and even though my dogs were very different
in behavior, it was still much easier to learn by watching, listening and
practicing to see what was needed for my dog....You can't learn much from a vacuum
even if you train every day.... I will try to commit, but give me small, well broken down,
questions. We can work on them together.
To this question could age, helper, character of the dog. How green is this dog? Is something
that only happen when he is tired or intermittently? Are you just starting him?
Some one had mentioned clicker training....Clicker training is very good don't let anyone
tell you other wise....You will use it to establish a good foundation for your dog, and through
out his training to SchH3...Remember communication is the priority always between the dog
and the trainer.

This may not seem like it has anything to do with the blind but it does.
If you can hear Bart in the back ground ...he says this is the.. go go Point.
and this is the tradition...this is how it is done... is the American translation of that.
The chain in a fixed position and the helper create a nice straight position for the dog.
Bart is the best at what he does and helped Jogie Zank with Erick his dog.
I have said before he knows more than he can teach.. But he will start you off
with very good fundamentals.
He is setting this dog up to do his bite work the right way even in the beginning stages.
Positioning him for the blinds later on....Everything segways into the next step.

i nice video .. BUT i think the question ' how do you keep a dog straight in the blind" does not do full justice .. please watch the video again .what you see best of all .. is teaching the dog how to control itself .. notice there is no handler control !! the dog is high in motivation , but poised .. , also right away he is teaching the dog to do this in the absence of the handler .. and last .. what i love to teach the dog , actually starting as a pup ... nothing ..nothing matters but to concentrate on what you do .. and 'the bite" .. did you hear him tell the crowd to sound-off .. and he expects the dog to perform .. this lesson should transfer to every exercise .. the heal , the send -out , the retrieve .. nothing else matters .. BUT what you are supposed to be doing , not people , not the environment.. thanks for sharing .. nice video !!
