Learning content and goals

Strengthening the basic obedience

During the dummy course not only the commands of basic obedience like sit, down, here etc. are strengthened and internalized, but there is also a special focus on recall. Here we work intensively to improve the recall of the dog. Through specific exercises and training methods, your dog will learn to respond even faster and more reliably to your signal. You will be amazed at how much the training will affect the bond and trust between you and your dog.

Markings

When marking, the dog and handler see how the dummy flies and where it lands. Marking is especially important when working with more than one dummy or when the difficulty increases. Your dog marks by remembering the drop point and focuses on it, for this the dog needs a good memory. Impulse control is also important so that the dog does not run straight to the dummy. Good communication between human and dog is also necessary so that the dog fetches the right dummy. The dummy exercises are varied and the difficulty is slowly and steadily increased.

Dummy delivery

Once the dog has successfully fetched the dummy and returned to its human upon recall, it only needs to deliver the dummy. However, this is not an easy task and requires a certain ability on the part of the dog that must be continually practiced and developed. The dog's ability to deliver the dummy on signal can be improved through specific exercises and training sessions. In addition, the way the dog delivers the dummy can also be refined. This way, your dog will not only become a reliable partner in dummy work, but also an obedient and empathetic companion in everyday life.

 Advanced

A prerequisite for advanced learning is a safe basic retrieve. For advanced learners, attention is paid to the correct delivery, the correct carrying of the dummy, correct foot walking, sit whistle, briefing, sending forward and a retrieve from the water is introduced.
