| Re: Trainer thinks we need a behaviorist...
Until the dog stays reliably and comfortably on lead it should not be pressed for off lead. Then it still starts out wearing the lead and the handler close enough to quickly take the lead and replace the dog. No way the dog should be put in a position to wander around. All that is doing is teaching him that the stay means nothing at all. Slow down. It is not a race. |
