The first thing they do is give the furry or feathery thing a nice human name and then stamp upon it their idea of what a person of that name is like and how it will behave and what it will believe etc.

Today while doing warm up control with our dogs and chatting, as we do while doing this, the subject of frustration with dog behaviour was brought up by me.
Fae, the little darling, has just discovered the world of birds, and bunnies and all things moving.

Professional Dog Trainers talk about Avoidance as though it is some sort of difficult thing to do. It isn't but then again it is a non-human compatible process.

I guess like so many other dog owners and handlers of multiple dogs, there are times when it is tricky to understand your dog's response to stimuli. I definitely know how you feel. But because I was puzzled I tried a few things and I was rewarded handsomely.

It just amazes me that everytime I go out to do something with dogs a big question and answer session happens inside my head. Sometimes I can find the answer, sometimes I have to dig deep and watch the dogs for a lot longer until they answer the question for me.

I thought after writing last night that I seldom explain why I like standing on a rope and holding my dog down, and it may seem a little silly to some people. I call it Passive Dominance.
