King working on a search with an emergency stop and recall.
The exercise starts with the ball being thrown. As King runs towards it, he's given the command to leave it immediately, stop the chase, and return straight back to the heel position. Once back under control, he's then sent to search for the ball, locate it independently, retrieve it, and deliver it back to the handler.
This drill builds impulse control, obedience under high drive, focus, and the ability to switch from pursuit to a controlled search on command. The exercise is then repeated to reinforce consistency and reliability.
