Getting Down on the Small Agility Dog’s Level
We chose to share this because there are great points made by the instructor that could help other teams with similar problems.
It can be difficult training a small dog at times like this where the dog is learning to focus on your hands as you have to get down where they can see your hand.
However, avoiding traps isn’t this team’s core problem, there is an obvious disconnect between them.
What they need is a higher value motivator such as a special toy or super tasty treats to keep Momo focused.
It isn’t easy for many, but Momo would surely benefit from dad getting more excited and upbeat as well.
