Drag the Check Cord.
The cord is clothing before it is a tool, the pup drags it through play until it is furniture.
Where it sits
Drag the Check Cord is drill 9 of 11 in the pointer puppy program. Seven weeks to six months: the window that never reopens.
Before it: Place Board Games
The board is where treats happen. Two paws, then four, then a beat of stillness. Sit-means-sit comes later; love-the-board comes now.
After it: Flash Point on the Wing
A wing on a string flashes the pointing instinct, a few stylish seconds, then put it away before pointing becomes chasing.
What it builds toward
