Teaching the Drop on Recall

[@shelbyhorse766]

Devon is so so handsome!! Thank you for producing your videos! I love to see you treat with Praise!! It is how I want to train my Border Collie! I have a class that we attend for Rally and our instructor feeds treats constantly. I am sticking to my guns!

Tried this for 2 days now and already good results. I Will continue and later extend the exercise regarding distance. Regards from the Netherlands!

Great technique for teaching drop on recall. Made our box to train it today. Will begin working on it.

[@catherinezinsky5209]

Good for you! Let me know how it goes 😊

[@MarionWante]

Fabulous! Very good explained. I Will start with this method tomorrow with my 20 month old Malinois. He knows the exercise but needs 3 tot 4 lenghts. The barrière will be a good tool. Regards from the Netherlands.

Best of luck! Let me know how it goes.

You have two different hand signals used for the drop; initially underhand (close by) and then palm forward (from a distance). Can this be confusing to the dog? Is there a step you do to transifition?

[@catherinezinsky5209]

No intermediate step. Close up the underhand is simply easier for me to execute (I don't have be a pretzel) and has more emphasis for my dog. Once I gain distance, having the palm forward is simply more natural--and I've never seen a dog conflicted by this transition. By the time I make the move the dog understands the concept and has no problems. Hope this clarifies!
