TBI dog hobbles are an important training aid in force breaking dogs to retrieve as seen in the TriTronics Retriever Training book and Hold and Fetch DVD (see video excerpt).
Problems dog hobbles can solve while your dog is on point:
Breaking while on point
Steadying to wing & shot
Interfering with other dogs on point (trains dog to back)
Standing in place when commanded to "Whoa"
How to use Dog Hobbles:
Place the velcro straps with the attached D-Rings around each front leg and one hind leg of the dog.
When the dog goes on point, go to its side and stroke the dogs back and style up its tail. Attach two snaps to each D-ring on the front legs. Move one hind leg forward and attach the remaining snap to the D-ring. Hobbles should be positioned.
Now move away from the dog, letting it stand on point. The dog is now hobbled and cannot break point. When the dog starts to break point, the hobbles restrict the movement of the feet causing the dog to fall on its face! When you are ready to release the dog to retrieve, go to the dog's side, calm the dog and then command to retrieve. Questions? Since 1972, we're here to help.
