Training Tip #35
Calling
a Dog Back
From: Total
Retriever Marking with Mike Lardy
Do not call the dog back-in to your side if he starts to fade at a distance. Call back-in only for very bad initial lines that you can read in the first 25 yards. Calling back-in frequently (even at the closer distance) can lead to popping and can really discourage a sensitive dog.
