Send outs!
I am trying to explain the "send out" concept to Coba again; he seems more ready to learn it than he was last year and we are getting closer to the point where I need him to know it in order to teach other things. The goal is a dog who moves away from the handler in the direction indicated and then waits for further instruction.
What I need is a command for it. It needs to be shortish, easy to say and not overly similar to anything else I regularly say to the dogs. I've introduced it as "send," but as Coba doesn't understand yet, it isn't too soon to change it. "out there" is tempting but too confusing, since I've used "out" to make dogs leave my presence or the house and of course I don't want him to think I'm punishing him or angry.
In the ideal world, I would like something cute, interesting or clever. Anyone have a better sendout command than "send?"
