I agree with 5labs. You can over-arouse your dog. He has to learn to be calm too. Get him to also do games such as find the scent which require...
Hi Carla, could you please indicate how you have trained your dog for distractions such as wild animals, scents on the wind? If your dog sees...
I agree with 5labs except I would be inclined to take a more cautious approach. I think 5 minutes is too long at the beginning. The longer the dog...
