180 different, Gnash can handle and operate perfectly under high pressure (too much for my comfort). Take pressure off and he is the wild man. With Creasy I can play mind games, the present routine,
1. Exit car, put line on him
2. Let him sniff, take in the sights/smells, mark 3 times minimum
3. After 2-3 minutes of 1 and 2 approach field (no commands yet)
4. Approach invisible boundary (he telegraphs it), command Platz
5. Snap line off and stand facing him not loose but firm fighter like stance
6. Put an object in hand and cover it (ball, tug, a twig, anything)
7. He focusses intensly on object
8. 15-20 secs later he slowly shifts eyes to my eyes (body/head remains stiff), muscles tense up (like a bow being drawn)
9. Step into basic position, command Sit/Fuss, drop object and go (in training keep object and reward at key points).
Only takes a few minutes, no verbal, no physical, all silent. Repeatable in garage, backyard, Petsmart, training field etc.
