Over the course of two days we worked on exercises like how to find the right level to gain the dog’s attention, how to teach loose lead walking, stay in one place and come when called. The training helps

We had a wonderful group of people gathered who were all interested in learning more about the possibilities of remote collar training for their dogs. Below is an e-mail I just received from one of […]
