Thanks for the videos. Nice progression over the 3 videos. Definite success identifying the laser and using it to find direction.
Your dog's enthusiasm in the first video is a little low, but it improves in the others. I don't know him so you are in a better position to judge whether he's working close to his best drive or motivation level. I always want the most I can get from my dogs, and gauge very carefully whether what I ask or demand from them affects that motivation level. By that I mean, if he chases the ball in a full gallop when he is running free and playing, but then goes to a trot or walk when sending him to a ball from a down, then the down may affect him in a reducing way. And it would benefit you both to improve that.
Keep it up, it looks like you are progressing in the concept.
Hi Thanks for your feedback, yes he is normally enthusiastic to get his ball, but I think you are right about the down position, I’ll try a sit or stand and see if that works better. Thanks again Simon
