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."
