 attentive healing. Next step. Today I want to show you how I teach him to control his rear. I forgot my riding whip that I usually use to help him. I'll be using just the leash. It doesn't look as nice because it blots of him too much. Nevertheless, I want to show you how when we turn, so now we are where we are at this point. We are healing straight. He can sit. We do a lot of things during healing. He can heal for a very long time without the reward. Very nicely he does it very good. He progressed very well. But now we need to get to the point where we make turns, right? And then also what I want to set up for is that eventually the dog needs to come over to the basic position because up to this point it's me who actually is coming into the basic position to him. But not him. He doesn't know that. And for him to understand that he needs to know that he needs to swing his butt over into a certain position. And I'm helping him to control his rear with the short tap today. So I want to show you how we do this. We've done this couple of times before I record the video. So he kind of understands more or less and he starts moving the rear. When we started at the very beginning, if you remember in one of my basic obedience videos we had a couple of videos where he was young, he was a puppy and we had a step stool and his front legs would be on the step stool and then I would fit him into it and turn my hand and he rotates his butt. So surprisingly now dogs have great memory and he remembers that. So when I started working on the control in the rear, I used that same exercise. I had a little bit of bait in my hand and I would start turning and telling him to come and turn, turn and tapping him over on the butt. And so he would understand that he needs to swing a little bit. And as soon as he does it I would say yes and reward. And so that's how we started. But today we are progressing a little bit more and I want to show you how we do this. Okay are you ready? You're ready. Okay. Sit. No. Sit. Look. Good look. We always start with the same exercise where he just sits upstairs and I reward this. That's always the beginning. That's okay. We're good. Thank you. Okay there's somebody with the doctor. Very good. Good boy. Very good. Good boy. Good look. Yes. Yes. Every time we do the first fusing, healing, he is always way to jump. He's too excited, too much drive. So I always have to correct him but then he gets better. As you can see time when we turned around and we're coming back, he stopped jumping around. So I don't allow this because it's a bad habit. Too much drive but it tells me that if we get to the competition point we might need to warm up so he can get the steam out in the like maybe one minute or so of fusing so he jumps out and then he's fine. Okay so we'll keep going. Now I want to show you how we rotate. We'll do it here in one spot. Sit. Puss. Puss. Good. Good boy. Good puss. Good. It's a lot easier if I have my riding whip than just the line but it is what it is. No. Puss. Very good. Yes. Very good. Very good. So as soon as he did it himself I rewarded because at this point he knows what I want from him but he still needs a lot of help and I don't reward when he's way too crooked. When he's too crooked so I wait for him to correct himself. The whole purpose is that he needs to learn to swing his butt and also he needs to know in which position he has to end right so that's what we work here. Okay. Very good. So going on a small tights. Hey come over here. Good. Going on a very tight circle also helps him to learn to swing around and again with the riding whip it's a lot easier to show you how this works but nevertheless you understand the exercise and now let me show you how we actually how we do it in the healing so why do I do this. So another trick in healing is that when you walk with the dog they sometimes you know a little bit crooked and when you're in the basic position when you stop during the trial the dog sometimes is slightly out his butt is slightly out so he's crooked so what I do in training after the dog knows the to swing the butt just like that before I stop before the halt in the exercise I always turn 90 degrees. Plats I always turn so plats good boy. So from now on that's what I'll be teaching him before we stop there is always a turn and so what it does when you're in a trial and you don't make this turn the dog knows to swing in and so he's he's more straight so that's the trick. I'll show you how it's done. Come on. Good boy. Push. Good. Good boy. Yes. Good boy. So you kind of saw I walk straight before I halt and make a turn and he's not he's figuring it out because we haven't done this something new for him but from now on that's pretty much the routine we're going straight before we halt we're going to make a 90 degrees turn and if I see that he's sticking out too much instead of always relying on a tool which I probably won't be using much any longer I'll start making tighter circles if I see that he's out I'll start making tightest circles to make him swing a bit more and then go on a straight line so I'll be correcting him in a way with my tight circles which will help him understand that he needs to control his rear a little bit more and be tighter so that's about it. Happy training.
