We started the training methods of Ivan Balabanov. It all started when Sean passed us a copy of "Out without conflict" and we loved the way he trains. Simple and yet logical. Thus, we went ahead and "rented" 2 more videos from his website - "Foundations of tracking" and "The possession game".
About 3 weeks ago, Kaly's bitework started to get bad, she is weak and shallow in her bite. We thought it might be that she is having her heat soon, and that maybe affecting her performance. However, it turned even worse when we started playing "The Game". After watching the other 2 videos, we decided to stop "the game" for a while and just play catch and chase.
Today, we started with tug again, but with only one "out" command. She is much, much better .... I guess we are on the right path and we are going to continue to work in this direction.
