There is no verbal cue for this behavior, the cue becomes the situation itself when a treibball is stuck and needs to be recovered. But first the handler reinforces the dog for doing the correct behaviors.
Pearls:
- When teaching "Walk up!" it is okay to use multiple mats to mark where the dog would "Whoah!" Eventually, fade using the mat after Jackie understands that "Whoah!" means stop and stand still until cued "Walk up! again.
- Continue to build value for "Go out!" with distance.
- Play "Come by!" and "Away!" to keep those cues fresh and consistent.
- Always reward the dog with the treibball between the dog and the handler, with the dog oriented toward the handler.
