For those of you that do SchH, what do you prefer for the "out"... out to hold and bark or the out sit and stare? Also why?
I have always done the out/hold and bark. But with my next pup I will be teaching the out/stare. I know there are pros and cons to each method.

What would be the pros and cons? In my old club, it was trained with an out/bark, and I can only think of one exception, because they couldn't succeed in getting the dog to bark!
During the hold and bark in the blind you can see and hear the soul of the dog!!

Anyway, it's taken a few months, but she is now giving a half dozen barks. And the other night she seemed to do it without much coaxing, so it's been work, but she got it. She is very intense, though, not cowering.
Now my own dog, he took a bit of work to get to bark again as well. But with him it was more like a look of curiosity when he'd out and wait for the next bite, kind of funny to see him do the head cock watching the helper. Luckily I'd taught him to bark for a hot dog, so we just transferred that and he started barking automatically in a few weeks.

I think the "Out and Bark" is still the best way to show your dog but if the dog can't settle into a good posture and/or if the dog will Bark and either continually move around or takes cheap bites or hits on the helper then one way of focusing them is to do a "Silent Out"...
As far as I know there are no point deductions for the "Silent Out"...but I believe that a number of judges will look more favoritablly on dogs that do the "Active Out"...
Maybe this would be a great question for a judge...
