Cord loves ducks. But he doesn't like working them on water and I will need him to do this later when we release these ducks on the pond. Ted will work them on water but I'll need both dogs to push them right up on land, most likely.
So, I'm starting from scratch with Cord. Cord doesn't like to "mess things up" on ducks. His eye is telling him to seek equilibrium. I want him to enjoy pushing the ducks past his Happy Place. So all I'm doing is asking for him to move them as he wishes, as long as he keeps moving. He's fully trained, but I'm using few commands so he associates the various pitched shushing sounds I'm using, with Fun and Frivolity. I hope this will increase his confidence as we go.
