Introduction Tight Circle Left Slow Pace – Building Desire
- First your dog needs to know the REA and has been weaned off the pot. (YouTube videos available.)
- Next, he needs to know weight shift and leash reining. (YouTube videos available.)
- With your dog on your left take 1-2 steps forward, when you weight shift to your left foot, rein your dog’s leash.
- When doing left circles, rein the leash to get the maxim rear motion from your dog. The more the better!
- Reward your dog for responding to the rein/weight shift by dropping a toy or treat and play with your dog.
- Once you start building duration, randomly reward your dog to maintain the “desire” and focus.
- There is always LOADS of reward and games in every training session to keep training fun.
- Take your time and get your dog OFFERING rear end movement before progressing.
- Heel in slow pace until your dog is reading cues and offering the REA movement readily.
- When doing turns, the rule is “THINK IT, SEE IT, DO IT”.
