You are trying to tie a half hitch…. the figure 8 goes around the muzzle.
This will be tuff to descibe – but if you loop a piece of string – then make another loop and flop it over ontop of itself that goes around the leg – from there it’s another half hitch around the two center toes. The string from the double half hitch goes down the front of the leg.
I see you are in Rosemount… If you would like I have a couple guys who come over on nightly when we are not in the field to train their dogs on the table in Hampton. You are welcome to join us to take a look at how you tie that half hitch..
I am in Waupaca WI Thursday thru Sunday training this week – but feel free to shoot me an email and I can give you my cell phone number.
