That is training the dog to the judge, not necessarily the best way. Some
judges are hard to hear, some have accents that the dog will miss. But I sent
an idea privately that might work in any judge's ring.

Tell her to tell the dog before she turns. There are plenty of 'indicatiors'
in the ring when she competes..... a real good cue is a 'left turn' command
just before she begins the turn. This is not an option - use "LEFT TURN." After
the dog is trained and responding well, chain the command. Have someone else
with her when she trains. They say "left turn" then she immediately gives the
SAME command. It will take about three times, if the dog is bright, and she
will begin to respond when the 'other' person gives the command. When she does
- the handler drops her command and the dog begins to turn on the other
person's command.
Sound a little crazy??? LOL What happens in competition??? The JUDGE SAY'S
"LEFT TURN" and Miss Kathy Lee does it!!!
