In this episode, Marc Patton and Chris take a deep dive into water work, including swim-by, cheating singles, angles, reentries, corrections, and how to develop a dog that understands what you're asking rather than simply becoming a robot.
Marc explains how he introduces cheating singles, why getting the dog into the water is often the real lesson, when to correct a cheat, and why he believes maintaining momentum is so important. We also talk about stress, over-handling, and knowing when you need to compromise based on the individual dog in front of you.
There's a lot of practical water-training information in this one, but just as importantly, Marc shares his philosophy on developing confident, thinking dogs that want to work.
If you're working on your dog's water skills, this is one you don't want to miss.
