Thanks for the super quick response! I was releasing on the threadle cue (using “in”) but now we are back on track. Based on your thought about higher value, I did some reps of just sit and release with the release cue (“break”). Then did the threadle with the threadle cue (no release word) and she released fine. Makes sense to use the word for what the dog is supposed to do on a release. Think of all that time we spent convincing the dog to only release on one word!

Last question on this. You mentioned using either the dog side arm outstretched or the off arm in front of your body for the threadle cue. Did you clarify somewhere when you would choose one over the other?

Thanks!
