“Once Zak and I had mastered the basics, I decided to have a go at gun dog training myself. Robin grew tomatoes in his garden. Using the ripest I could find that were nicely soft and squishy, I placed three on the ground behind the dog. Then, using hand gestures, I indicated to Zak which tomato I wanted him to fetch for me. Zak had to learn which way to turn, and then be gentle to avoid puncturing the tomatoes. Finally, after a lot of hard work, everything clicked. All of a sudden, I had a dog that retrieved, and we quickly moved on to picking up feathers so that he could get used to the tickly feeling between his jaws and not instinctively spit them out.”

“Your Dog Has Reached The End Of The Lead - Although this may sound strange, when your dog naturally reaches the end of their lead, this causes pressure to be put onto their collar or harness. This pressure then causes their opposition reflex to kick in. This is not a medical re-flex, but it is something that all living beings will subconsciously do without thinking, to make sure they stay in balance. For example, if someone pulls your sleeve backwards, your automatic reaction is to pull your arm in the opposite direction, to stop them from pulling you over. It is your brain and body's immediate response to stop you from falling over. So, when your dog gets to the end of the lead, and is therefore being pulled backwards, their immediate response is to pull forwards. This cycle then continues, as you pull them back more, they pull forward more.”
