How far back can she run???
You should take the barking a step further, and have it look like she's counting :) A subtle enough stop signal and everyone will be convinced she can multiply and divide!!!

She's so sharp dude. She'll be two next month. I'm not kidding, the past 4 months and we'll continue today, tomorrow, etc all we do is fine tune her commands.
She knows Czech, so 'heel' isn't a command, for example, that command is called 'patah.' Her torso will brush against my left side (heel is left) the whole time. Took awhile to work in that, she liked a little separation. Now she brings it in tight, same pace as I slow or speed up. So much fun.
No lead, of course.
She'll keep running backwards til you break her, "prerusini!!"
Charge forward at me and stop at my feet like brand new brakes, "savatsisemi!"
She doesn't count but she does have a "whisper," that's really neat, chomp chomp without a bark, you just hear her teeth chattering.
That's so awesome!!! You could have her counting within 5 minutes, just teach her the new extremely subtle stop to either the whisper or bark :) With the whisper, ask her how many chomps she'd like to give that trainer who expelled her for being a good gorilla 🤣
How did you teach the backwards run? Most dogs are ok walking backwards with practice, but running?!?!
Obviously not her full speed but Yes'ir, a backwards gallop we'll call it. She taught me that one, believe it or not.
She was a real young puppy, I was in the garage piping drainage for the water heater. Well, she'd come between the cars to me and want to play while I was working so I'd tell her 'back.. get back..' and she trotted backward.
Then, as though she turned it into a game; while I was working she's coming charging through the cars until I said back, and she'd gallop backwards all the way out the garage.
Since then I've only perfected it but I didn't teach her that one. She taught me.
While I got you, you'll appreciate this one. So, I'm a city boy, right, living rurally now, comfortable, but undoubtedly outta my element.
Couldn't find venison anywhere.
Asked the meat dude finally at the counter, "where might I find venison?"
He went on to tell me about his favorite hunting spot and then told me all about the 4-pointer his brother got. Twangy, hillbilly accent, I just listened. From what I gather, it's not a store item, apparently you gotta kill it yourself or know someone who did.
Maybe you can find a guide who works with people who only want the antlers? I do remember seeing venison in catalogs years ago, but maybe things have changed...
Too bad there's no set way to teach the backwards gallop, that's one that could be fun!
