A place to learn a new language, the Koehler Method of Dog Training, which is an entire language of communication between owner(s)/handlers and their dogs. Let the journey begin....

Pointers:
You MUST hover over her when doing the Stand and you MUST do the Conditioned Relaxation Stroke continuously on her shoulders as she does the Stand. If you do not do the Conditioned Relaxation Stroking, the Stand in Week 4 is impossible. If you do not hover over the dog when it is doing the Stand, the Down in Week 4 can be ugly. Please add both of these key elements to your Stand. All of my Stand videos and photos, including when I introduced the Dtand to Hannah on Wednesday and did the Stand with her at 86 Lumber yesterday, show me clearly hovering AND doing that critical Conditioned Relaxation Stroke.
Did Kara initially knock over a PVC pipe when you started? She avoids these and is super careful with her body as she moves around them. Just wondering?

The next EXAM must be all done in one video.
Good work.
See you later this morning.
