creeping start another kind of stopped start that you can use to get more speed and motivation is the creeping start. You want to pump up your dog’s excitement and his anticipation of the start by acting mysterious and expectant yourself. Place your dog in his starting position, whisper his cue to stay while pointing at him, then tiptoe away while crouching down a bit. alternate looking back at your dog and looking ahead to build the excitement while you walk off. whisper the phrases that your dog has learned to get all jazzed about, and then suddenly give your release cue and dash off as fast as you can!
