Dog Training – Using sidewalks to teach your dog.
http://www.sitmeanssit.com This is a sidewalk drill that I use in some of my initial training to teach my Labrador Retrievers to run straight.
This video also shows the dogs ability to move away from us from a remote position.
This drill can be used in the beginning phases of teaching a dog for a hunt test, field trial, or even if you want to teach a dog to run straight over jumps, you can put a jump in the middle.
Obviously, this will not substitute for various terrain that a hunting dog would see, but rather a beginning drill of teaching concepts.
This particular dog has already had training in understanding basic safety of staying on the sidewalk, and this helps in his learning experience.
Since most of us spend a lot of time with our Labrador Retrievers in every day environments such as taking them for walks or runs, this gives us another environmental area that we can practice in.

Vulnerable Native Breeds Rare Dogs BBC Country File
Broadcast on the BBC 1 Country File show on Sunday 24th February at 11am was this piece on “rare” British and Irish breeds of dog, all of which are officially listed by the UK Kennel Club as “Vulnerable” because of their very low numbers. For example did you know that in 2007 there were just 36 Glen of Imaal Terriers born in the UK? Or just 37 Skye Terriers, a breed made famous by Greyfriars Bobby? Or just 41 Otterhounds, a breed which came over with William the Conquer and is one of our most ancient breeds? In all 15 of our rarest breeds were assembled for the BBC to film and these breeds were: (2007 Puppy totals in Brackets)
Glen of Imaal Terrier (36)
Skye Terrier (37)
Otterhound (41)
Sussex Spaniel (61)
Smooth Collie (63)
Sealyham Terrier (65)
Field Spaniel (67)
Welsh Corgi (Cardigan)(68)
Irish Red & White Setter (93)
Manchester Terrier (113)
Dandie Dinmont Terrier (124)
Norwich Terrier (128)
Lancashire Heeler (146)
Irish Water Spaniel (162)
Clumber Spaniel (223)
To put these numbers in perspective, in 2007 the Kennel Club registered over 45,000 Labradors!
The Countryfile program set out to highlight the plight these breeds find them selves in. The item was filmed at Cotswold Farm Park, near Cheltenham on Tuesday 12th February 2008 on a beautiful sunny winter’s day and as the farm is famed for its many rare breeds of livestock it was the perfect venue. The BBC presenter for the item is Miriam O’Reilly, whose credits include Farming Today, Costing the Earth, File on 4 and is a Country File regular. Two breeds get to be specially featured, Irish Water Spaniels retrieving from a lake and Glen of Imaal Terriers doing some rat work in a barn.
By the way – please don’t be put off by the claim that puppies from these breeds cost One Thousand pounds each – this in NOT the case. Most of these breeds cost no more than any other pedigree puppy, about £450 – £600, about the same as a pedigree Labrador for example!
