A participant of Laura Stimatze’s clinic gets a lesson on practicing trial obstacles on cattle while also working on improving the dog’s stops and getting the dog to stay in the stops longer. Some great lessons covered in this video are:
- Using the whip on the ground to apply pressure.
- Paying attention to the dog holding the down and not getting up at will.
- Ideas on how to slow down the walk up.
- Making sure the dog doesn’t get desensitized to the whip or correction.
- Learning to use the dog to block obstacle opening rather than the handler.
- The importance of getting a command on the dog that gets them to move out.
- How dog position working an obstacle is critical.
- Advice on putting a dog on a line to build the out command
- and much more!
