TRAINING PERSPECTIVE, THERE’S
TO MOW DALLET IS THAT WE
TRAINED FIRST ONE IS THAT
ACTION. IT’S VERY MENTAL.
IT’S VERY VERY FOCUSED FOR THE
HANDLER TO SEE THAT SLIGHT

CHANGED EVERY DOG
AND THE HANDLER NEEDS TO BE
ABLE TO RECOGNIZE WHAT THAT
CHANGE BEHAVIOR. IT IS AND IT
MAY BE VERY SLIGHT. IT’S THE
TURN OF THE HEAD. THIS IS
WEIGHING A TAIL. THERE IS
