Recall Training Practice and Premack's Principle

Today we went out into the cornfields; the snow now several inches deep and Lusi excited to be out running.

I used Michael Ellis' strategy of delivering the food reward as though it were moving prey as Lusi hurtled in towards me. I've also been using the hand target as a moving target for her to come in close to me on either side of my body and to bring her round me in a 360 degree turn.

Using Premack's principle the real reward of the day was hunting voles! She actually caught a live one the other day  when she was out with Victoria.
