Dog thread!🐾

It's not really a "last resort", I agree. But it IS more sharp of a reminder than the martingale. With my horse training background, I know that it's important to teach the animal to respond to the gentlest of commands. While using something "harsher" or just more abrupt in general can be helpful, the animal will no longer respond as well to those lighter commands. Obviously horses and dogs aren't the same, lol, but there is crossover.

That is a very good point I like the way you think

Well thank you! I really loved the way horse training *makes* you think, it's so cool.

I love training in general! I think it would be fascinating to put horse and dog techniques together.
