Part 3 of 3:

Here is the second basic foundation behaviour your dog needs before you can do a cued switch with a hold item.

Here's Bosco showing that he can switch between two identical tugs when cued. Teaching this behaviour is also part of creating a clean out (ie. an out without conflict). There are additional pieces to how Shade teaches the switch behaviour but what's shown in the video is the base behaviour. If you want the other pieces then let me know; Martin taught the full behaviour chain. Now you know what I mean when I say a cued switch behaviour. XD

This mornings session SUCKED she was just not grasping the concept and I could not think of any other way to transfer “grab it behind your canines and Clamp Down”. She would do it totally fine if I held it, even super low to the floor, but the second my hands were off the lead she would revert to old habits and be completely at a loss on what to change with me at a complete loss on how to communicate it any differently

But something in her head must have clicked in the break between this mornings session and this evening because this evening she made maybe three errors I had to reset before everything just *clicked* and she was rocking every rep 😭

2 Samuel 9: David Ponders If There Is Any Left In Saul's House To Show God's Kindness To

1 David asked, “Is there anyone still left of the house of Saul to whom I can show kindness for Jonathan’s sake?”

2 Now there was a servant of Saul’s household named Ziba. They summoned him to appear before David, and the king said to him, “Are you Ziba?”

“At your service,” he replied.

3 The king asked, “Is there no one still alive from the house of Saul to whom I can show God’s kindness?”

Ziba answered the king, “There is still a son of Jonathan; he is lame in both feet.”

4 “Where is he?” the king asked.

Ziba answered, “He is at the house of Makir son of Ammiel in Lo Debar.”

5 So King David had him brought from Lo Debar, from the house of Makir son of Ammiel.

6 When Mephibosheth son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, came to David, he bowed down to pay him honor.

David said, “Mephibosheth!”

“At your service,” he replied.

7 “Don’t be afraid,” David said to him, “for I will surely show you kindness for the sake of your father Jonathan. I will restore to you all the land that belonged to your grandfather Saul, and you will always eat at my table.”

8 Mephibosheth bowed down and said, “What is your servant, that you should notice a dead dog like me?”

9 Then the king summoned Ziba, Saul’s steward, and said to him, “I have given your master’s grandson everything that belonged to Saul and his family. 

10 You and your sons and your servants are to farm the land for him and bring in the crops, so that your master’s grandson may be provided for. And Mephibosheth, grandson of your master, will always eat at my table.” (Now Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty servants.)

11 Then Ziba said to the king, “Your servant will do whatever my lord the king commands his servant to do.” So Mephibosheth ate at David’s table like one of the king’s sons.

12 Mephibosheth had a young son named Mika, and all the members of Ziba’s household were servants of Mephibosheth.

13 And Mephibosheth lived in Jerusalem, because he always ate at the king’s table; he was lame in both feet.

Part 1 of 3:

Here's Martin and Bosco showing a cued switch with a hold item. In the retrieve, switch is used to build a better "grip" on the hold item, help minimize possession issues over the hold item, and is used to create a fast return back to the handler with the hold item. (Dogs tend to go out fast to get the hold item but lag a bit on the return.) Switch is one of those behaviours that's either really easy to teach or really challenging, depending on the dog. Bosco had intense possession issues so Martin had to break down the behaviour into different pictures to scaffold the behaviour.

Leash retrieves with a proper grip, locating the red grab portion from a tricky pile, full weight of the leash 👏

Need to work a bit more at her confidence with it she’s a bit slow locating the right grab spot which I know is just the conflict of “grabbing the whole lead used to be right but now it’s not” brain trying to get out of old habits which should resolve itself and build speed the more history we get with the New Strategy

But no dropping the lead, accurate grip, much more clarity happening and clear thoughts in her head over what was happening before with her being super uncertain where to grab the lead, dropping it several times trying to sort out how to hold it and feeling uncomfortable moving with it due to the poor grip she had

1 Chronicles 15: David Finally Brings The Ark Of God Back To Judah

1 After David had constructed buildings for himself in the City of David, he prepared a place for the ark of God and pitched a tent for it. 

2 Then David said, “No one but the Levites may carry the ark of God, because the Lord chose them to carry the ark of the Lord and to minister before him forever.”

3 David assembled all Israel in Jerusalem to bring up the ark of the Lord to the place he had prepared for it. 

4 He called together the descendants of Aaron and the Levites:

5 From the descendants of Kohath,

Uriel the leader and 120 relatives;

6 from the descendants of Merari,

Asaiah the leader and 220 relatives;

7 from the descendants of Gershon,

Joel the leader and 130 relatives;

8 from the descendants of Elizaphan,

Shemaiah the leader and 200 relatives;

9 from the descendants of Hebron,

Eliel the leader and 80 relatives;

10 from the descendants of Uzziel,

Amminadab the leader and 112 relatives.

11 Then David summoned Zadok and Abiathar the priests, and Uriel, Asaiah, Joel, Shemaiah, Eliel and Amminadab the Levites. 

12 He said to them, “You are the heads of the Levitical families; you and your fellow Levites are to consecrate yourselves and bring up the ark of the Lord, the God of Israel, to the place I have prepared for it. 

13 It was because you, the Levites, did not bring it up the first time that the Lord our God broke out in anger against us. We did not inquire of him about how to do it in the prescribed way.” 

14 So the priests and Levites consecrated themselves in order to bring up the ark of the Lord, the God of Israel. 

15 And the Levites carried the ark of God with the poles on their shoulders, as Moses had commanded in accordance with the word of the Lord.

16 David told the leaders of the Levites to appoint their fellow Levites as musicians to make a joyful sound with musical instruments: lyres, harps and cymbals.

17 So the Levites appointed Heman son of Joel; from his relatives, Asaph son of Berekiah; and from their relatives the Merarites, Ethan son of Kushaiah; 

18 and with them their relatives next in rank: Zechariah, Jaaziel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Benaiah, Maaseiah, Mattithiah, Eliphelehu, Mikneiah, Obed-Edom and Jeiel, the gatekeepers.

19 The musicians Heman, Asaph and Ethan were to sound the bronze cymbals; 

20 Zechariah, Jaaziel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Maaseiah and Benaiah were to play the lyres according to alamoth,

21 and Mattithiah, Eliphelehu, Mikneiah, Obed-Edom, Jeiel and Azaziah were to play the harps, directing according to sheminith. 

22 Kenaniah the head Levite was in charge of the singing; that was his responsibility because he was skillful at it.

23 Berekiah and Elkanah were to be doorkeepers for the ark. 

24 Shebaniah, Joshaphat, Nethanel, Amasai, Zechariah, Benaiah and Eliezer the priests were to blow trumpets before the ark of God. Obed-Edom and Jehiah were also to be doorkeepers for the ark.

25 So David and the elders of Israel and the commanders of units of a thousand went to bring up the ark of the covenant of the Lord from the house of Obed-Edom, with rejoicing. 

26 Because God had helped the Levites who were carrying the ark of the covenant of the Lord, seven bulls and seven rams were sacrificed. 

27 Now David was clothed in a robe of fine linen, as were all the Levites who were carrying the ark, and as were the musicians, and Kenaniah, who was in charge of the singing of the choirs. David also wore a linen ephod. 

28 So all Israel brought up the ark of the covenant of the Lord with shouts, with the sounding of rams’ horns and trumpets, and of cymbals, and the playing of lyres and harps.

29 As the ark of the covenant of the Lord was entering the City of David, Michal daughter of Saul watched from a window. And when she saw King David dancing and celebrating, she despised him in her heart.
