Building off of the skills introduced during Stage 1 we enter Stage 2 with the introduction of the Grid and At Home Utility

The Grid is a concept that engulfs all the concepts and commands into one streamlined system. This produces dogs who are confident in handling out to 100+ yards on blind retrieves. This is also where multiples are increased; to where the dog is now capable of marking 4 retrieves easily and consistently.

Introduction to The Grid, 4-Position Hand Signals out to 100 yards, through canals and checks. True Steadiness, 5-Position Send Off, Delivery To Hand, Utility Delivery At Home & Field.

At Home Utility, teaches the dog how to be a helpful at home companion. Picking up dropped keys or wallet, fetching a remote, carrying firewood or helping with the groceries are all part of At Home Utility.
