I’m going through all of your videos, the obedience on these dogs is astounding! Can you share what methods/training you did to get them in a long wait and only go when they are called? Really amazing stuff!
Hi 👋🏻 It’s hard to put into a short message because it’s a long process and every dog is different too. However in brief: Puppies learn to walk at heel, sit, stay and have good manners (sitting for dinner). Recall is nailed. Retrieving is few and far between and fun. 6 months ish retrieving is still not done much but sit starts to come in before the retrieve. Recall is always being worked on. The stop whistle is introduced. Sit stay is really fixed, balls and dummies are thrown and I’m picking up 90% and they get the occasional retrieve. 12 months. Memory retrieve are stepped up, going back in a straight line. Stop whistle is used with a recall and sometimes a retrieve but not often to keep them keen. Directions start, left and right, one direction at first. Then when it’s nailed adding a second. They don’t get every retrieve. 15-18 months they’re in the pack with some retrieves. But only if they have perfected doing it alone. Then they start on a lead so that they don’t run in. When they know they have to wait for their name it builds up to being off lead. And then 18 months + everything becomes longer retrievers, longer wait times, obstacles, dogs running in front of each other as a distraction etc . That’s the gist anyway
Great video of your wonderful pack, doing what they do best 👌😉
Thank you 🥰🥰🥰

Is it Raven with the constantly wagging tail? Excited, happy, or something else? Regardless, thanks for sharing the exciting part of your hard work.
