Demonstration of dog's understanding the "voran" command - Page 1

I believe that Thor has a good understanding of the "voran" command, as seen in this short vid taken around the yard today.

 

 

Very nice..

Out of curiosity, do you use voran also as an alert, or bark and hold command when there is a decoy in the blind?
I have a command for alert, and then use revier for both running blinds and b and h in blind.

I use "revier" for decoy work, and "voran" to teach/train the blind search obedience exercise. When doing a blind search with decoy, I initially use both commands, then I transition to just the "revier" when he displays obedience of the blind search and I know he understands. The revier is used when teaching/training the hold/bark, both in and out of the blind. I have been working on the revier for prey reward with me, using the ball or tug to elicit the set up/sit and bark, as I can't train with a decoy very often. Of course when doing this, Thor is in prey drive but he still is looking at my face. When working with a decoy he is serious, when with me it's a game.
