Re-visiting Stay and Recall 2

[UncleBob]

OK, spurred on by Harv's success here Re-visiting Stay and Recall I thought we'd try to push the distance a little further ... (same dodgy recording and lack of editing I'm afraid!)

Virtual £5 for the first one to spot the (er hem) deliberate mistake.

Pretty impressive!

 

[MellowYellow]

Excellent! But I see no mistake??

Ha ha, was showing hubby this brilliant recall to give him hope this could be use one day, and the sound was up so when the whistle pipped Maxx came running

... But I see no mistake?? ...

Well, our gundog trainer wouldn't be happy. Does that help?

@UncleBob Lovely to see Harvey. Just a question, I thought you weren't supposed to recall a dog from a sit/stay as they anticipate it or something like that? Not that I would know but I use a long distance hand touch with Hattie to save my recall, works a treat. xx

Same as @Charlie, thought maybe your gundog trainer would rather you worked on one cue at a time? Although Harv has nailed the long stay by the looks of things. Also, if I am bringing Bramble in from a recall, I have her positioned at my side. In the gundog world, this would be the default position unless delivering a retrieve. Appreciate I am no expert, and probably talking out of my bottom!

@Charlie That's a fair point. However, we do this sort of thing fairly infrequently so I'm not overly concerned about anticipation (these 3 recordings have been the first 'staged' recalls in many months and we probably won't do any more for a while either).

@Beanwood Also a fair point. I'll blame my pre-occupation with trying to record the event

The thing that our trainer has a real bee in her bonnet about, and which would have earned me a slapped wrist in the recordings, is ... leaving the dummy on the floor! (You can see the dummy when I look down at Harv at the end) This is a real pet peeve of hers - dogs should only have access to dummies that they have been sent for.
