Read more about the SmartWork - Water Force & Swim-by - DVD by Evan Graham
SmartWork "Water Force & Swim-by" DVD by Evan Graham brings to life
the information on Water Force and Swim-by offered in Smartwork for
Retrievers volume one, Basics and Transition.
Water Force is the compelling and influence that causes the dog to enter the water. Water Force is the final phase of force fetch.
Evan treats water force as a component of force fetch because water
force training comes closer to that description. No matter how much
your dog appears to love water, unless retrieving in water becomes a
structured function a lot of things can happen that impede efficient
retrieving. Water forcing clears the air about typical problems dogs
usually tend to run into, and provides a terrific co-benefit: They end
up with an even better attitude about water than they began with!
Swim-By is the controlled return of your retriever in water, during
which the handler requires the dog to take a "more-water" return to
enforce water/shoreline discipline
Because of its DVD format, Evan has expanded the information to be more
indepth. The dogs trained on this video are at this level of training
where water force and swim-by would normally be taught.
These dogs do the same things, make the same types of mistakes, and are
given the same appropriate kind of instruction typical of dogs at this
age and level of development.
These are not just someone's finished dogs going through basic level
work, and doing it perfectly. They will behave a great deal like your
young dog is apt
to behave when doing these skills early on in their training.
The first in a line of video modules, "Water Force and Swim-by"
follows the Smartwork method faithfully, and does not gloss over
details, or vital issues like pressure and simplification. It is not
intended to replace the Smartwork text, but rather to augment it to
provide you with the best possible instruction on these two vitally
important topics.
Because all the dogs in this video series will be of the age and
developmental level appropriate for the skill set being taught, you
will have the opportunity to learn
appropriate ways to train your dog fairly and effectively - step by
step, the Smartwork way!
