    Better today. And it was live fliers. I started out with the dead bird double (the memory bird was across a deep, rapidly flowing canal with a big climb up and out. Took a great line, had a bit of a hunt, but I was fine with what she did.) She walked with me perfectly from the truck to the blind. She was quiet and laid down without wiggles and crawling-on-her-belly-like-a-snake. Exited the blind beautifully. Lined up with me. Staid totally steady on the dead-bird double. But when we did the flier, she leaned forward and her butt left the ground. I hated to do it to her because it was an improvement, but I had the flier picked up and then ran two blinds. If the standard is 100%, then lifting the butt off the ground is... an infraction.

    But the heeling was really great today.

    You are right to keep on the lean. My friend had a dog named High Riser. He was a high flier as well . They used to run him about two miles behind the truck before going to a trial. He had that lean. I have video of him at an event called the Gold Whistle. The dogs ran off raised platforms and Riser got leaning forward and fell right off the platform as the marks were going down.
