"Now as my dog is getting used to backing up in a basically straight line. I'm going to start adding a signal to it. And what I do is I'm almost creating the shute with my hands. So back good, good, nope, no, back, good. Now as you can see she moved her rear end toward my left and as I put my hand out she moved it away from the hand as her head turned toward it. So we're going to try that again. Dip here, dip back, good, come. Now she's got to get it right a couple of times before I'll give her a treat. Back, good, back, good, good, good girl, good, good. And I'm actually pushing her past the tunnel a little bit now. That way she'll get used to doing it with out the rails next to her. It will start introducing that concept to her."
