Intro to Hold

[@jamesthompson2705]

I’m glad I found your series bc I am training my first lab he is just shy of 4 months and doing good so far with sit and stay but I want to get more advanced for next duck season so very glad I found this

Great video. Since you’re wearing a mic, I would suggest not chewing gum. Just my 2 cents.

[@RetrieverTrainingAlone]

IEXCELLENT! DAY 1 I like initial SILENCE instead of background noise of "Hold,Hold,Hold,Hold,Hold". Silence allows the dog to figure out that not chomping results in release and praise. Background noise of "Hold,Hold,Hold,Hold,Hold" may teach pup to ignore the command or interpret "hold" as allowing chomping. Later "hold" only once, "drop" only once at key instants in time. In general repeating commands erode the impact of commands to background noise.

Great Video!! I really liked you force fetch podcast and used it to force fetch my dog. Looking forward to seeing more videos like this to see your process as you progress through it.

[@gallmecj]

Great job are you going to produce a part 2 & 3

[@jpsullivan5740]

I like the paint roller to start em with.

Really enjoy your videos! I have standard poodle that is 11 weeks old. What training should I focus on before I can collar condition?

[@loneduckoutfitters]

at 11 weeks, let them be a pup. also introduce them to as many people, places and things as possible. then as they get older, crush the obedience work!

[@jannettefinch2921]

Do I need my 6 month pup to be super crazy about retrieving before ear pinch? She is going out and bringing back--I don't really know what I am expecting other than that.

[@loneduckoutfitters]

it would certainly be helpful because it makes "the reward" so much greater. if you're interested, check out our foce fetch info here: loneduck.podia.com/force-fetch

[@Kir3r4]

Do you have any tips as my dog will put his paws up on my arm(s)

[@waveoglesby2920]

How long does it usually take to force fetch a dog in general

[@loneduckoutfitters]

4-8 weeks but it depends on the dog.

[@jameswinnett4012]

Just to be clear, Bob, you do this Hold intro before FF and then move right into FF? Thank you.

[@sonnyward9857]

I’ve been waiting for you to do this video but I can’t listen to the gum.

[@ohmaj4699]

That gum chomping bud, jeez. Good info but I couldn't keep listening to that.
