Another way to use come, not just for jumps, is to have a game out on the trail where you
can have them jump up on rocks, have them jump up on a wide fence, if your dog is nimble
enough, and to just have some fun with that. It works their brain as well as their bodies,
and it increases the bond between you because you're working together. So, for Karma, we're
going to use this step instead of a boulder since there's not any in the yard. Karma,
come. Good. Come. Now as you see, I'm almost making an obstacle course. I'm having her
get up on the boulder. I'm backing up, having her come again. You'll notice I'm not necessarily
having her turn around to me in this version of come, but I am expecting her to come straight
to me and to sit. Good. Good. Free. Good.
