The most important things about dummy training at a glance
Dummy training is a great training tool to challenge your favorite four-legged friend. Originally it was used for preparation and training for game hunting.
With the help of retrieval training, you not only increase your dog's concentration and stamina, but also their independence 🐶
Through retrieving, a commonality is created between you, which has an overall positive effect on your team building. You experience your environment and your activities together - as a team.
The training consists of three units: marking, searching and instructing.
👑 At Mark the dummy is thrown as far as possible. The dog should remember the dummy's flight path. After he gets a signal from you, he should bring the dummy back.
👑 Next unit: This Search. If the dog cannot accurately identify the location of the dummy, it must systematically search the surrounding target area.
👑 Third unit: This Instruct. The dog is supported in the search and guided in the right direction by hand signals, whistles and the voice of the owner. This builds trust between dog and human.
What you should pay attention to when training dummies:
- Your dog shouldn't let the dummy fall at your feet without a care in the world. Little by little he should understand that the dummy has to be handed over to his hand.
- Watch your dog for signs of over- or under-challenging. It's better to train more often and for shorter periods of time than for too long at a time.
- Practice retrieving in your own four walls first. The level of difficulty can be gradually increased to larger meadows.
