Look Back Command And Direction
During the double lift at Grass Creek
One of the dogs was trying to go come bye instead of away to the sheep for second group fetch.
The handler would say look back dog would.
Then it wanted to go Come bye as that is the way the sheep were the first time.
Handler would stop it with the lie down and start process again the Dog was getting confused it seemed.
The Handler I was beside made the suggestion to me that the points were already lost because the dog had crossed over it would have been better to let the dog complete the fetch instead of repeatedly giving down command and away.
I am wondering what the thoughts are of other experienced handlers
Do you let the dog complete the action when you see it is getting confused or do you keep trying to force the dog the way you are asking
