Greeting, Clicking, and Basics
|
|
|
Nothing like a bunch of black Belgian Sheepdogs -- Groenendaels --
hanging around to totally confuse you about which dog is which.
At right, a Terv and a Groen go through the ritual meet-and-greet
circle. Below, campers try to entice dogs toward them in a loose-lead
walking exercise

Camp starts with some intensive exercises on clicker timing. Karen Albright,
above, tries to click as fast as another camper "pecks" with a pen. At left,
Deb Norman (right) plays a vicious "chicken", attacking her trainer, Judy
Johnstone, who has failed to feed her quickly enough.

Toss a treat, get the dog to stay "out there," a handy skill
for safety and drops-on-recall.That's John Albright, pitching food for
his sleek Malinois, Penny.
