Herding cats
Thank you! Thats one of the things I decided to try and do. Am having a bit of trouble with teaching her to “touch” , her eye sight is not great, sometimes she gets her nose close but then doesn’t actually touch my hand I end up just moving my hand slightly closer so it bumps her nose. I don’t know how easy it will be to get her to notice my hand when there is a dog. she is also getting to the point with her hearing that if she is standing in front of me she can’t hear me unless I bend downI just remembered that I've seen people teach a nose touch target to your hand, and if you see another dog coming, start playing the 'touch game' where you stick out your hand and ask her to touch, and reward when she does. Finn hasn't had reactivity issues so I haven't had to try it in that situations, but he LOVES playing the touch game in general.
