Great video Pat!

@fredhassen

Thanks Fred

Such steadiness is great, but is it worth having a dog that is bored and unfocused on the mark? If he runs a straight line and falls on the bird everytime that is great but what about in a test situation? Wouldn't the judge know the dog isn't marking correctly? I have only trained one dog to retrieve, my own and I need to steady him, but I am afraid of him loosing drive.

@KGotschall

You are right you do not want to interfere with the dog's drive and marking when you steady or teach him to handle. That is one of the tough challenges of the sport. Ending up with a dog that is operating independently yet under direction.

For hunting and for competition the retriever must be steady. These dogs are not bored and unfocused on the mark.

Dog will not just fall on the birds. It takes memory, drive, courage and training to do the marks well.

Did you put these dogs through 'Force Breaking'? Thanks

@SaltwaterHunter1 it is sort of the standard. Just like you lead a horse on your right side. If you arent going to be doing any competing in anything, dont worry about it. As long as you and ur dog are both comfortable on the right hand heel. But for competition, or working dogs, you should have a left hand heel.

Nice Video, thanks for sharing this.

[SaltwaterHunter1]

your dogs are very well trained and since you know something about training i was wondering if you could tell me the importance of the dog heeling to your left side? Almost every video i watch the dog heels to the left but why? Tradition or is their a certin reason? I ask because my dog heels very good to my right side now and is almost a year old and was wondering if i should change and make him heel to my left

Thanks a lot

I think it is more honoring a retrieve then anything else. If you were hunting with someone else who had a dog, you would have to work them together before a hunt to ensure only the dog that was to retrieve goes for the bird. Hence the release using the dogs name instead of just the "Fetch" command. Actually holding them can increase their drive, depending on the dog and how it was trained. My dog will stare at a mark for up to a minute and will go balls to the walls for the bumper.
