Steve, I know exactly what you mean and have done that but also don't want the dog relying on my touch and I know you will eventually stop. My male is doing much better and did a bit this morn but only bits at a time. He is very aware of his rear end and moves that in very nicely with the turns but he just needs to keep his butt straight in the straight heeling. His focus is gorgeous and he is very fast in all he does. We will get it but we all know how we have to backwards and forwards then backwards again. Finding the balance is the key.

Kreiger,
If this is really your first dog that you are working i think you did a great job. Nice field by the way. I like the transitions in the change of paces. I can tell the dog has more drive then what was shown because of the last recall that was done. Try to work with his drive. It's nice when a dog shows power in the work. Sit and down was pretty good. Here are some things i saw.
First take off the sunglasses. The dog can't see your eyes. Expression is important.
I really don't see a relationship in that video. It's like you are heeling and going through motions without a dog. I don't see a connection.
You need help with doing about turns (handling).
The hault after the 2nd about turn you adjusted yourself to the dog.
Dog was crooked at times but this nit picking.
Handler help with the sit but most people do this. Especially if it's your first time. Just don't let it become a habit. Even pro's use handler help but they can hide it pretty well.
Your stance for the recall was sloppy then you adjusted your footing. Don't get use to that because you'll do it all the time without realizing it. It will carry over to the all recalls and retrieves. And the dog anticipates the reward at the end so that makes him more to the right side of you on the recall. But the recall was nice and fast.
Someone mentioned don't sit the dog after a turn. I disagree with this. Sit is Sit. You should change it up. Do the sit at different times. Someone also mentioned your paces aren't right. If you're doing the routine then worry about the paces. If you're just training then i wouldn't worry about the paces. Most important is relationship. Get that picture in your performance and you'll be fine and have fun. You didn't look like you were having fun during the training. The only time i saw fun was when you rewarded at the end.
Good Luck,
Mark
