Diversions returning from the retrieve continued.

Today I decided to test Scout's discipline with another diversion, his big brother Crash. With both dogs at heel, toss one bumper and give the commands no, leave, then heel and walk about 50 yards. Sit to the flush drill (blow the sit command with the whistle), toss another bumper short in front of both dogs. "No, leave." Then point to the original bumper and send both dogs for the retrieve. Scout would come back with the retrieve and put him at heel/ sit. Walk over for the denial and pick up the diversion bumper.
Flush drills, denials. Denials help honor the retrieve.
Then threw the kong around for fun time. A different release word is used in play time, than the one used in training/ hunting.
