Day 205 - recalls from chase!

We have been working lots on recall and stops when going after the ball. Initially it had to have stopped moving for her to control herself enough. But today she did it when the ball was still moving - three times! Not in a row as she double guesses me so I do lots of proper fetch so she’s getting it then throw in a recall or stop. Three recalls while mid chase of a moving ball… I then tried to video one and she kept double guessing me so I didn’t get it as proof sadly! But proper chuffed with that!

Oh we also practiced recall when chasing a crisp packet blowing across the field AND on our way into the field there was something in the bushes (?poo) that she really wanted and I had to pop back on lead to get her past. When we turned to walk home she raced across that field in direction of whatever it was. I recalled her, she came straight back. She then headed back off on a mission for the ‘thing’ again and I used my ‘ready,steady,go!’ Which ends in a ball throw and she came back. Couple of ball throws then lead on as she would have headed there again!

A good day for Mabel!
