Extending the Dog in the Field
Line drills are introduced in the Field Course. This is the exercise to begin the process of extending your dog. Line drill patterns can be set up on a driveway or a parklike setting. In the video you will see dogs performing this fun exercise.
The Field Course also shows you how you extend your dog both on land and in water. It is a fundamental skill that you need before teaching hand signals.
One of the wonderful benefits of teaching your dog lines (and it is so easy) is that you can exercise your dog and combine that function with line drills. Your dog will learn to love it. It is a way where you will have CONTOL when the dog is off leash and a distance from you.
