Really appreciate all these real and educational videos. The way you both explain and show the progression and problems is admirable. I'm pretty sure that's a lot of work put in every post. Big fan of both of you, TCP and Pat's recent course, which I fortunately acquired.
This is super cool. Someone had to do it. I'm really excited to see the process develop. I have a special one. Although she's a gsd. Mentality is a lot like a mal. She's all go and good around kids family. Your videos have been a huge part of her success. Your tactics are unique. you have great analogys to go along with the load of information. Im eventually doing your bootcamp and before time runs out. Thank you man.
interested to hear why you ask that - is using a backtie something you have done before? TBH I've only dropped food on the article kinda like a focus box to reward fixation and accept whatever the dog gives (in my case it's a freeze) then reward with a terminal marker. do oyu use a backtie to agitate a little more and build drive to the article?
@@benphilippi9325 when I say back tie, not in the traditional sense. I am referring to a very short lead on a very short track 3-5 metres where you can control the dog and not allow(within reason) any undesirable behaviour. If the dog shows any interest in the article, there should be no forward movement. walk back on the track and put the dog over the article again. I will do 5 of these type tracks in a row if I start seeing this behaviour. He quickly realises that he can't go forward without giving me the down. Its not a cure all but it definitely works with my Mal.
Yet another question - wondering if you reuse tracks for the dogs and if that could be a reason for one dogs faster progression. If not reusing do you lay them all out before the session so some are aged more? I'm sure you already thought of this but gotta leave something for the algo boost hey.

I think the audio got messed up, might have to switch it to mono :)
Great work. Any reason why you don't tidy up the article indication on a back tie?
