Dogs And Tools

I teach a lot of dog training "tools" to my students and their dogs. More than they realize.

Sometimes a student asks for a follow up lesson because of a new situation. Sometimes they don't realize the versatility of the tools they have been given, and they just need to be shown how far those tools can be applied.

Think of having a knife. You might have learned to use that knife to sharpen a pencil. And then someone shows you it can also be used to slice apples, or whittle a toy, or to make tinder for a camp fire. Same tool, but it had more uses than the original application. 

Good dog training works that way.

Plan accordingly.
