[QUOTE="gonefshn, post: 108891, member: 380"] I know the Wildrose Kennels/UK Labs video trains to do it basically like Duck said. Twists would be that you hold your hand straight up in the air to signal the back command as they may not hear you in the field when out on a long retrieve and it follows with the right/left they'll have to learn as well. When training my last lab that way I would set the dummy, then walk a ways away from it with her. I'd them make her sit and walk further away. Instead of having her go straight back to the dummy, I'd call her to come to me a little ways first and then using a stop/sit command have her stop and sit. I'd then use the back command. Idea was to get her to stop and sit before I made the command as this is more helpful in a live field environment where they came up short or didn't see the bird. Stopping and sitting kind of restarts them for the command. [/QUOTE]
