Management is key!
This is why we go to management before we try to train. Training itself takes time and patience and often comes with set backs so we must make sure that our dogs are always managed correctly, it keeps them safe, it keeps us safe and it keeps others safe as well.
For example my youngest dog is incredibly scent driven, she always has her nose to the ground following a variety of scents and anyone who's had a spaniel will tell you, when their nose is engaged, their ears are turned off! 😂
This means that her recall is still a work in progress (basically she's "deaf" when we're out!) So I keep her on a long line or, as in this picture ⬆️ I join my leads together so she can go out a little further but we're still able to keep her in hand.
