Winner day 6 – webinar reliable behaviors
Congratulations to the winner from day 6, webinar reliable behaviors, Henriette Hertz-Pedersen who wrote “Ginnie thinks herself very reliable. She can be totally reliabled on to sniff out all the game trails, follow every lead and find every track. I think I might need a bit more input on the reliable behaviours so we can make ALL behaviours as reliable as her “game detecting” 😄” and sent a picture of Ginnie. Send us an e-mail at info@retrievingforalloccasions.com and we’ll give you access to the webinar.

I would love to win this one, improve our casting, going in straight lines instead of bolting of like a drunken toller…
😊
Oh really need this. I haven’t started training this because I don’t know where to begin.
My casting is currently nonexistent and I have feelings this may be one of the harder things for me to teach! A class would be a great way to get my head in the game.
We learn and make mistakes with our first dogs… This is my first dog to train for field work. I want to do it right. I do not want to make mistakes with her. I’m working on casting with her but doing a bit of stumbling along the way. I do not have (non-aversive) trainers that I can learn from or train with so I would like to win this one! Love your book and have learned so very much from it already! Ready for more!
Casting is a difficult disciplin. I think my dog is quite good at it, but when Training with others I see other dogs doing a much more structured search for the game. I would love to win this course to learn some tips and tricks on how to build up the Training. Especially I hope to learn how to teach my dog to always start casting in the direction I point out to her.
Casting is something I start to learn from day one that I get the dog. I have a golden retriever and I do several sports with her. English obedience, hunt and agility. In all these sports casting is important for a great succes. So I would love to win the online course. Otherwise I think it will be my next online course after the stop whistle course 😉
Sounds like a fab course, and one that would be super helpful for us. Getting distance on our blind retrieves is proving challenging. This could be jut the thing to help us out 🙂
This course would be perfect for me. I am trying to advance my cocker and hopefully do tests with her (she’s 2) in the near future. This advanced course would really help me on my way
The course title caught my attention as that’s what I was looking for. I want to learn more about the trainings for casting my cocker straight for blind retrieve.
