And more drills

Some ideas for home:

• Front Larsen.
• Toss the bumper over his head.
• Send him.
• Pip him to a sit midway to the bumper. This is a big challenge. Stop that dog!
• Hit the ecollar if he fails to respond to the sit whistle.

Another idea:

• Get a short "city lead".
• Walk him around the driveway, the street, and out.
• Stop and expect him to sit immediately. Pop the lead if he dallies.
• Pip the whistle and expect immediate sits. Pop the lead if he dallies.

The goal is immediate, unthinking response to the whistle to sit. Only when he is sitting can you give the dog a new command. He has to sit, let the energy drain out of him, and refocus on you. Now you and he can hunt again.
