Terminology
 

I started the training tips because it is what I do but, it may help to define some of the terminology that will be used so here are the definitions.

Hold; the process of teaching a dog to open his mouth and hold any object until asked to release.

Force Fetch; the art of introducing pressure (negative stimulas) upon command and taking it away when command is achieved (grabbing bumper).

Holes in Program; short cutting a task causing a short circuit in the training process.

Casting; the ability to handle a dog left,right,left back and right back by direction of body language (arm/hand..handling).

Pressure; stimuli that is usually negative including: e-collar, heeling stick, rope, body language,verbal.

Mark; throwing a bird in the field where the dog has to watch from a seperate location, retrieve by navigating terrain and distance.

Gun; the location from where the mark is thrown from

Maybe the mods will allow me to add to this list at a later date when more terms are introduced.

cool deal raymond...some of those terms I have heard though buddies and posts on here but did not know the meaning. Growing up we didn't have dogs, but after hunting with buddies with excelllent dogs makes a hunt much more enjoyable.

Looks like a sticky for our new sub section
