I am working on a training plan for my new dog and trying to iron out some
details of exactly how I want to work this dog. So here's my question...
How do you prefer to approach stairs and upcurbs?
the options that I have come up with
*complete stop before step, find with foot, continue
*complete stop with dog's front feet on step, find faster with foot, continue
*pause before step, expect step, step up without finding with foot
If you have used more than one of these methods or something completely
different, I would love to hear about it.
I originally taught a complete stop, but then found it too time consuming so I
then taught the pause method. That's faster, but isn't as accurate.
Ideas? Thoughts?
