Fully focused on today’s walk up training. One of the challenges for the handlers was to hold the line in the rough terrain, but I got a nice picture from when the line was perfectly straight 💪💪 (rule of thumb for a straight line: you should only see one person to your left and one to the right, the others should be hidden behind them)

How many dummies have you thrown since the challenge started? Have your dummy throwing skills improved? I have been throwing 330 dummies – and there is definitely a difference in both height, length and precision! I’ve mainly been focusing on throwing high and releasing at the same “spot” every time. #dummythrowingchallenge

Dummy throwing challenge part 7: Rabbit throws All game doesn’t fly high, challenge yourself by practicing rabbit throws! Think of bowling! Release the dummy early and don’t swing it too high. Bending your knees, just like when bowling, might be helpful as well. #dummythrowingchallenge

Today’s video is about different types of throws: Depending on how you hold the dummy the length and precision of the throw will vary. Throwing by holding the string usually makes the throw longer but not very accurate. The type of dummy you use will of course also affect the throw. #dummythrowingchallenge

Something we get a lot of questions about and spend a lot of time training ourselves is heelwork. When we're out walking or when we're hunting we want our dogs to be able to walk by our side without us having to watch them all the time - we need to be able to focus on...

Sometimes it's almost magical to see how your dog stops dead in its tracks out there in a field and then turns around to face you to get more information. Wow! She heard my signal, even though she was running like crazy out there in a field filled with game and on her...
