Feedback on Week 4 EXAM
Good effort.
Jon, the 3 Step Halt to AS, you have it!!!👏👏👏.
Pointers:
On the right turns, and right about turns, *remember* to plant, push forward and shift weight from right to left, then turn.
Relax your right hand to create the "J" loop.
Exercise Finish is 1 step to Halt/AS.
Do your EXAMs somewhere else besides your front yard which has stunning views!
Please redo.
================
Jon,
All of these videos feel 'hurried'. While Wolf is doing an excellent job, I see your foootwork and leash handling off and consistently so.
With what I see, you will not pass the two very tough Week 5 EXAMs and Week 5 is the 'make or break week' to determine if a student and their dog go onto the off leash work taught in lessons 7-10.
So, Jon for YOUR sake and YOUR training, please redo the entire Week 4 EXAM. Do the EXAM off your property, do the entire EXAM (except for another Approach by a Stranger) in one video.
There is a reason FC Week 4 is called "Hell Week."
