WHY MUST I USE LEATHER LEASH? WHY MUST I USE A CHAIN SLIP
COLLAR?
LEATHER BECAUSE
THE DENSITY OF THE MATERIAL LENDS ITSELF TO EFFECTIVELY CONVEYING YOUR
DIRECTIONS TO THE DOG BY WAY OF THE COLLAR.
CHAIN BECAUSE THE
SOUND OF IT CUES ATTENTION TO THE COMMAND, THE CLOSING ACTION MOVES THE DOG
INTO POSITION, AND ONCE THE DOG IS IN PLACE, THE OPENING ACTION KEEPS THE DOG
IN POSITION.
For the
leash and collar to work safely, comfortably and effectively, the handler must
know how to use it correctly
When the team is in motion, THE CORRECTION FROM THE
LEASH MUST POP IN THE DIRECTION OF TRAVEL.
When the correction is for attention at a distance, THE
CORRECTION FROM THE LEASH IS A SHAKE, NOT A POP AND TRAVELS VERTICALLY OR
HORIZONTALLY.
Employ WHAT and the
ALPHABET OF PRAISE
Every correction requires a follow up action on the part of
the handler accompanied with praise.
A leash to a dog is like reins to a horse. Leashes and reins
are leather and not fancy. Fancy gear is for graduates.
