0:06
tops beautiful
0:09
day Nim come here good
0:12
boy so we plenty to retrieve
0:16
out in that
0:19
direction and we're just going to send
0:21
Nimrod for it he hasn't seen
0:25
it stay Boris n CCH back back back get
0:31
back
0:34
back
0:41
back so the wind's coming from behind me
0:45
so it's going to be a tricky one for him
0:47
I'll have to turn into the wind has he
0:50
got it looks like he's got it good boy
1:01
good lad good boy
1:04
up okay that was a nice one fur dummy
1:09
bit more scent on it today cuz
1:12
it's very cold and frosty so just makes
1:16
it a little bit easier for him to uh to
1:18
smell and find happy with that let's
1:21
move on right so we just try and
1:23
progress a little bit so just dunk the
1:25
dummy down in here come on good boys
1:29
walking a
1:32
bit good lads come
1:39
on come on come on good
1:44
boy quick shot
2:16
Fu good
2:23
boy good
2:25
lad good boy so you see then that you
2:29
pulled I'd put the dummy in that little
2:31
Clump there and he was pulling to the
2:32
left a lot of people would just leave
2:35
the
2:36
dog and let him hunt around hoping that
2:39
put the scent up but you know where the
2:41
fall is so you know stop your dog and
2:45
get him onto it it makes for a faster
2:48
retrieve and provided your dog is good
2:50
at stopping and he's good at taking on
2:53
signals and directions you should be
2:56
able to do it quite nicely don't overh
2:58
handle your dog but when he's clearly
3:00
getting away from the area where the
3:02
dummy is or where the retrieve is then
3:05
you need to help him and moving back
3:08
onto it particularly when it's cold like
3:11
today so in the wall here where there's
3:14
lots of snow and ice the scent won't be
3:16
great but over here where the Heather is
3:18
where it was pulling to because it's
3:20
warmer and thoring the scent will be
3:23
will be stronger so he's pulling over
3:25
there even though it doesn't smell of
3:27
the dummy so you need to pull him back
3:30
and get him back onto the spot where you
3:32
need him to hunt out the retrieve you
3:35
know it's just the basic point but it
3:37
just adds a bit of a little bit of
3:39
Polish there's no point your dog being
3:41
over here
3:43
hunting when the retrieves here and you
3:45
know particularly when you know that the
3:47
retrieves there there's no point in him
3:50
being being over there he's just going
3:51
to pull and Pull and pull take longer
3:54
and you're really just hoping that he
3:55
picks the sent up so you know stop in
3:59
and send in Back to the area of the Fall
4:02
where the birds come down or where the
4:04
dummy is so that um he stands a much
4:07
better chance of retrieving
4:12
it okay we'll do a similar thing for
