BACK:
1) A directional signal given with a raised arm and hand directing the dog away from the handler.

|
|

BLIND/s:
1) A retrieve on either land or water where the dog does not know where the location of the bird or bumper is, but the handler does. The handler must direct the dog to the location of the bird or bumper through a combination of whistles, arm signals and/or body movement and voice cues.
2) A structure used by hunters to hide themselves or for the guns, bird boys, blind planters, live bird stations etc to hide behind.
Channel Blind: A water blind run in an area that, due to the close proximity of the bank on both sides, makes it very tempting for the dog to exit the water and up on land.
Cold Blind: A blind the dog has never run or practiced before.
Holding Blind: An enclosure for the dog and handler to stand behind while waiting to go to the line during a trial or hunting test. It is to prevent the waiting dog from seeing the tests before running them. It assists in keeping dogs in order and ready to run at the line promptly upon the judges command of, "Dog to the line." This type of blind can also be used for the handler to remote send a dog in the highest levels of competition or to honor from, often with the dog at the line and the handler behind the blind.
Hot Blind: A blind in which a shot was fired just prior to a retrieve. Also a blind in which the bird is in it's location during the running of the marks about and around the blind, making it possible for the dog to find it by accident during a big hunt on a mark.
Hunting Blind: A screen to hide the dog and handler from incoming birds while out hunting.
Pattern Blinds: Blind drills repeated by the dog to teach specific and technical concepts. A series of bumpers placed in the same location every time at the same place.
Sight Blinds: A training exercise to teach the dog the concept of blind retrieves. A blind the dog can see before being sent; a blind which was first thrown as a mark or walked out by the handler in plain sight of the dog. A blind which has a marker the dog can see and be guided by, such as a pole or cone. A way to start young dogs on running blinds. |
