Title: double t?
Post by: Commando on February 25, 2015, 04:28:33 PM: When would you say you are done training on the double t? We are at the point now where he drives hard to the back pile and ibcan hit a sit whistle and he will take my cast reliably. I think we are nearing the end but am not 100% sure.

Seen too many people sit and become frustrated doing it because the dog isn't perfect then start getting on with the collar and begin the slow breakdown of what was once a nice puppy. Could have quit after a few days of super successful single T and just get on with running some "show me" blinds and work towards getting a cold blind done.
