Intro to Hold 

Great video. Since you’re wearing a mic, I would suggest not chewing gum. Just my 2 cents.

I’m glad I found your series bc I am training my first lab he is just shy of 4 months and doing good so far with sit and stay but I want to get more advanced for next duck season so very glad I found this

IEXCELLENT! DAY 1 I like initial SILENCE instead of background noise of "Hold,Hold,Hold,Hold,Hold". Silence allows the dog to figure out that not chomping results in release and praise. Background noise of "Hold,Hold,Hold,Hold,Hold" may teach pup to ignore the command or interpret "hold" as allowing chomping. Later "hold" only once, "drop" only once at key instants in time. In general repeating commands erode the impact of commands to background noise.

This was super helpful! Thank you for the great information!!

Great Video!! I really liked you force fetch podcast and used it to force fetch my dog. Looking forward to seeing more videos like this to see your process as you progress through it.

I like the paint roller to start em with.

Great job are you going to produce a part 2 & 3

Favorite gum?

Do you have any tips as my dog will put his paws up on my arm(s)

Really enjoy your videos! I have standard poodle that is 11 weeks old. What training should I focus on before I can collar condition?

How long does it usually take to force fetch a dog in general

Do I need my 6 month pup to be super crazy about retrieving before ear pinch? She is going out and bringing back--I don't really know what I am expecting other than that.

I’ve been waiting for you to do this video but I can’t listen to the gum.

That gum chomping bud, jeez. Good info but I couldn't keep listening to that.

Pretty girl

Chew some gum if you want to chew some gum

Just to be clear, Bob, you do this Hold intro before FF and then move right into FF? Thank you.
