Things I wish I knew as a beginner in bitework 🐾
Bitework is growing in popularity with more and more folks getting working breeds or just looking for an outlet for their dogs.
It’s a great way to do some fun training that builds our dogs, instead of just shutting them down (like so much pet training is).
I’ve personally been doing bitework with Minka since she was a puppy (we took too long of a break for a bit 😬) and it’s made me an immensely better handler- better at reading her, better in my movements, and created a better relationship between the two of us.
Here’s some folks who I’ve worked with personally who are great resources & know far more than me:
Whether you just want to learn play mechanics or compete in a sport, I highly recommend giving bitework a try & seeing if it’s a good fit for you and your dog.
