"Now we've done our session on the box. She sat there for a minute. She knows what sitting is. So now I'd like her to learn to come to me while she's on leash. She will not do this off leash yet okay, because there's another understanding there. But she'll have a basic understanding of this, and we've already asked for it. You'll see a lot of the same that you've seen in previous clips. But now I'm asking it to form away. Robie, come, come. Good girl. Come. Good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good. Sit. Good, good, free, good. Robie, good, come. Good girl, good, good. So as you see, she actually turned and started to come on her own. She's just still a little shy about getting close. Good, come, come. Good, good. Now what you saw there is I just laid the leash along her butt so I didn't have to lean over her to touch it. And just that little bit of pressure reminded her she was supposed to do something with that end. So it is heavy and it's a good leather leash, so it's heavy enough. If you set it there it'll be just like touching with your finger."
