Update on training + potential date for last webinar

Hi guys! 

Just wanted to check in with everyone and ask how the training is going? According to plan? Experiencing hiccups?

Let us know in the forum or write us an email!

Also, we're thinking to do the last webinar Sunday March 19 at 7:30 PM EST. Good, bad or indifferent? We want to hear from you!


Light primed / dark send, variable location question.

We are training this section in a 60x40 metal building.  

The first light prime dark send we do Raina shoots out to the laser target and is clearly in drive.  We have been doing about 3 reps at 15 meters. Then we move to another location where we do a 10 meter send (light prime / dark send).  Then we go outside to a leantoo that is about a 15 meter send.

The issue is that after the first location….Raina really seems to get distracted fairly easy and clearly drops out of drive.  I try to get her engaged with her toy before sending at each location but she seems to lose some of her motivation. 

Do you have any thoughts on what I am describing? To many reps (about 8 or 9 light prime dark send total across 3 locations)?   To unfamiliar with surroundings?  

Thanks

Forgot to ask

I meant to ask during the webinar.

Do or can the dogs get a cue to the exercise due to the equipment we use? I have been using a lightweight paracord tab during these reps.

My patrol dog has an understanding of what is going to happen when I hook him up with different tools.

Thanks!
