What Is Wrong With Dog Competitions?

Almost all the handlers I see, from beginning to advanced, regardless of the type of event, look like toy soldiers out on the field.

That is the current culture and tradition. 

It never seems like they’re just enjoying working with their dog and vice versa. 

It never seems loose in a good way and teamwork.

It looks insincere, artificial, unnatural, uncomfortable, insecure.

The dogs all look the same: it reminds me of all those fake, filtered, enhanced models on social media these days.

I often don’t like watching.

It is also not a good guide as to how to relate to your dog in the real world.

Plan accordingly.
