Course Details
In this workshop you will learn how to teach your dog a consistent and reliable "hold". Hold is the foundation for all of my retrieves. Once dogs have a solid understanding of hold, teaching retrieves is simple. This method results in dogs that are happy and confident because they truly understand the task. Dogs that mouth, chew, roll, spit out or won't release the dumbbell do not have a clear understanding of Hold. When dogs are confused, conflicted or perceive pressure around Hold, these behaviors get worse. In this workshop you will learn to teach Hold in a way that is clear for your dog. We will break Hold into small steps so your dog can be successful which creates confidence. Your dog will have a clear and solid understanding of exactly what Hold means and will LOVE to "Hold"!
