| Hi deon Your could be waiting a good month if its a breaker worth going to
In the meantime you could get her ready or switched on yourself Youll need a partner for this But start with going to straight track ( she aint ready for race track) you stand in the sand pen at the beginning of the sand with squeaker on rope and a toy in other hand that squeaks like mad !
Get your partner to stand around 40-60 mtr away down the straight , start whirling the rope squeaker above your head and squeezing the toy in your hand !
Your partner shouldnt let go until shes wanting to go ! This will provoke or rev her up As she comes half way start to run into sand letting the squeaker rope drag behind you
As she gets close to you swing it to the side away from your body and let her latch on Fist time she might run around it and smell , its ok , its just the start
Shell run off back to partner all excited and not know whats going on , this is ok to
When she turns to refocus on you , repeat the above again If she latches on be gentle , let her dominate and feel safe
Dont reach out to grab collar if she isnt latched on properly , she will run from you otherwise and lose all confidence in biting on This technique is about short bursts concentration/high adrenaline and to have fun
Let her do this for 2 weeks every 3rd day Then bring in another dog that is good at it and let them off together (with American muzzles)only one time !
She needs some bumps and also to see how its done by a pro , then back to by herself again . In between these drills , let her free gallop in same straight track
But before you put her in , put the squeaky toy up in sand pen and then let her out
She should start to cotton on that there is something always waiting in sand pen to catch and chew ! The day she bolts to sand pen and grabs the toy and runs back to you with it in her mouth proud as punch is the day you can give your partner a rest as you dont need help anymore After this just find someone with a bullring and go yourself
All your doing is slipping her onto the arm and then from the box once shes biting on arm from slips Then when she jumps well from box and kills the arm shes ready to slip on track at the 500 boxes and finish on at catching pen(first turn ) and dragged down back straight biting on . From the 500 to first turn she will only cover around 140mtrs Until she does this convincingly dont go further back If she does do it well , keep stepping back distance and change from a finish on to just an into the pen run where your partner will be with a squeaker on a rope again Good luck bud
