Thread: Focus?!

After reading the posts and doing some more research I have come to the conclusion I have been too lax on the 'accepting nothing but compliance' mindset. So im starting back at the start with him.
At the park I normally run him on a lead for a while then start working on sit, recall using the line if he doesn't come back to haul him to me. I am not confident enough to let him go not so much that he wont come back but more that he will piss someone off or worse knock some kid over.
If I was to suggest the ideal outcome for him and me I want a dog I can take to the park / beach knowing I will get 100% recall regardless of what is around and then be able to take him to hunt birds knowing he has the basics for hunting sorted.
