"There is a lot of fun you can have with your dog playing games with the skills such as come, to make it a game to where you don't feel like you're just doing a chore where they just have to come back to you. We want them to want everything you ask of them. So what I'm having this dog do is show you how you can teach them how to jump using come, teach them to get up on anything risen off the ground, like rocks, boulders, to go through or under things using come. The first is the jump. "Here. Sit. Good. Come! Good girl, good. Down. Down. Good. Come. Good girl, good. Good. Heel. Good. Here, down. Good. Down, good." Now this is actually an aerobic step. It could be anything you find in nature. "Come. Good girl. Good. Free. Get it.""
