Beginners and Beyond Beginners Tracking Workshop Saturday, September 11 Somerville, 9AM – 3PM
Tracking workshop with AKC Tracking Judge Carolyn Fuhrer at North Star Dog
BASIC from page 6 even if that meant the other owner considered me to be rude. • Learning some evasive maneuvers if the other dog’s owner pursued us. A Salient Shift It took very little time for our walks to feel very, very different. If Dory could talk, I know she would have thanked me. Gone was the dread of “greetings” gone wrong, gone was the posturing. In their place was a happier, more attentive dog. Imagine how many problems would be prevented if we all practiced this rule with our leashed dogs. There would be no dog bites, strangers wouldn’t get jumped on, there’d be less reactivity and barking, just to name a few. What does your dog focus on when you take her for an on-leash walk? How often do you offer her rewards? Where is her focus? Yours? Happy Training!
