Gun Dog Straight Line Ladder Drills

I'm at a novice dog/novice handler level (this being my first gun dog) and these are a couple of progression exercises I was shown by Jason Mayhew. They are aimed at building the dogs confidence o run out in a straight line and keep on going until she comes across a dummy or shot game. The exercise starts off see/marked then moves onto blinds with various levels of difficulty as time goes on.

Nice demonstration of a young dog working well. Look forward to the next stage video.

sometimes, if a dog is lacking the confidence to go past that spot, it pays to move yourself and dog further back each time, leaving the dummies in the same area

Excellent video 👍🏻 very helpful. How do you get such a sharp stop on the whistle?
