#338 Running Blind Retrieves Well
Manage episode 450835652 series 2363882
In today's off-season episode, we talk about the elements necessary to run blind retrieves successfully. Dogs aren't robots that should 'go straight' and 'take every cast'. They are living creatures basically having an ongoing conversation with you on their way to get the retrieve they didn't see. A program that builds their trust in what you are telling them and assures they are very clear on what you are saying is enjoyable for you both. It also leads to running even very difficult blinds well. As with most really effective techniques, it takes patience, teaching and lots of practice.
