Tyson and I drilled some obedience concepts (sit-stay, recall) as well as relative space.
1. I put him in a sit and then lined the food out (obedience concept - sit-stay).
2. I did NOT have to tell him to "leave it"....this is where relative space and thinking comes in...notice the avoidance of the food before called.
3. Then I called him to me (obedience concept - recall, with the distraction of food). Notice the wide berth he takes around the food when called to come (relative space concept).
4. Then a sit (yeah...when he gets tired he lays down sometimes first...punk), a release, and a recall.
We are gearing up for a Lure Coursing Abilities Test...Wish us luck!

about retrieving or heel work but gets flat-out 
Hi, our DS is 9 months and we are working on obediance but are having a really hard time making him sit, stay, heel or down when he starts running. Our gate was down and he started running around the yard and would not stop, I was so afraid he would run out. Any suggestions? And also can anyone suggest some games to start with to get his mind engaged? We are new to this and found what you said to be true. They are a lot of work but are well worth the effort. Its just that I am beginning to feel like our training just started going backwards. We've paid a trainer but I don't feel he is doing any better. We are open for suggestions from other DS owners.
