Anybody who's done remote handling of a retriever knows how sensitive dogs are to any movement.

Once I have whistled my dog to a turn-stop-sit and she is sitting out in the field awaiting my cast, if I so much as twitch she is OFF. I have to stand perfectly still before I give my cast. She has learned to watch my head tilt in the direction I am going to cast, but wait for my hand signal. But that took some doing.
