Weekend lessons Start Line Stay

Start Line Stay practice:

7 different criteria for stay
Stay in front of a jump trains start line and table
Sit her in front of a jump, lead out - hand out - "Good Girl"  release "OK"
Train by walking out and release her and reward
Also sometimes go back and reward her where she is
Sometimes release her back where she sits, sometimes walk back out and release
So release comes in 3 places during the training - walk out like in a run, walk out and then come back and release, or walk out, come back, reward, walk out release

Contact Stay practice on the flat:

Sit her in a stay, go behind her and run past her, do all the moves you may do in a trial - front cross, push, rear cross, blind cross, fall on the ground and dance, train two different ways:  go back and reward, then release, stop out front and from static position, release her with "OK"

As she makes progress, train running past her and doing all the turns I need to practice and release her while in motion.  No body cues, just the verbal cue.

Practice on the contacts and throw treat pouch to her feet when she stops and go back and reward her from the treat pouch.  Make the treat come to her.
