Not me with the Lab, I was hanging on to my tablet & Mr T whilst filming !
All three of the dogs are rescues, Charlie 1-the springer had had 4 homes when Heather got him aged 5 1/2 months & wouldn't walk with a lead on !, Jake the Lab was over 2 1/2 when Heather got him, never been trained or socialized & worst of all the rescue lied about his age, they first said he was 10 months, then 14 months, then 18 months & eventually admitted he was 2 1/2, he had had multiple homes too & Charlie 2, the gorgeous ginger lurcher/greyhound, wouldn't come back & had separation anxiety-allegedly.
They can all do the SA to the mat, long stays, heelwork off lead, recalls & sit & down on the move. We are working on the stand on the move now !
All done with the clicker & treats & lots & lots of training by the owners.
Just goes to show how clever Charlie 1 is & how good a handler Barbara is, Barbara only sees him on Fridays at training & they have a close bond because they enjoy what they are doing !
