Hmmm. I don't know if I buy this. Our dogs aren't permitted to run around
like maniacs once before they can perform their proper duties in the agility,
rally, herding, or obedience competitions. They are not allowed to jump around
a few times before standing still for an examination in conformation. They are
not allowed to bite the kitty a few times before leaving her alone. Please
tell me more about why they could not be trained to gait properly on a loose
lead when required to. In my experience, they do what we teach them to do.
And they can certainly be a handful if allowed to do anything their way!

Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Loose & Easy
Couldn't agree more Michel....slow, loose and easy, but the judges have to
allow them to work to get them that way. Trying to get a dog with lots of
go and strong working drive to go slow and easy on the first lap or two is
almost impossible.
Paul opines...
They look so much better this way...but Kathy is so right. With all we do to
condition these dogs we shouldn't even ask them to walk until they have
warmed up. I don't walk them until after the individual. Trying to get them
to walk 1st thing into the ring is asking for a "train wreck"...
