Love your tips. I've been watching since I got my lab. We did hrc started last summer and going for our first hrc finished test.

we passed our HRC Started in spring and were very excited for that. Now For next year, id like to get him thru the next level. A bit of feedback for ya....a lot of us have dogs that were initially trained by pros like you, and then we try to advance the dogs. While my dog is collar conditioned, and has completed force fetch, could you possibly do a video talking about collar stimulation, when, how much, techniques while training, etc. I know there is some content you have put that previously that relates to that, but its an area I really struggle with. As an example, when to implement stimulation into Mini T, Force to a pile, and blind retrieves. Also....what do you do about dogs that are "collar Smart". I get better results when he is wearing the collar and he knows it its on. But, he knows when its not on, and then sometimes things get western. Might help to know im dealing with a fire breathing dragon/ high drive dog.

Bob, love your work my man. Keep it coming. Need to hook up on Pateron. Hey my Labrador has these basics, albeit light on collar conditioning. She's very obedient and stops in the whistle, casts (not well), but she just won't run back on blinds. She keeps stopping and looking back at me every 20ft and doesn't want to go far before she turns around. But IF she knows there's a bumper back there somewhere, even if she can't see it, she'll run a mile with one "back" command to get it. She's also not good at lining. Is more lining drills the answer?? Do you do phone consultations? 😅

How do you deal with a noisy dog on honors? My guy was quiet and steady on his honors early spring and then we had a lot of time alone training. Back training in a group setting now and honoring after his marks. Tried prong collar corrections and he's basically giving the finger and they're not nice corrections either. So far the best thing I've tried is to make him hold a bumper and watch. He's quiet, and doesn't move aside from a slight whine. Otherwise he'd bark out of frustration.
