Do you have a high-drive dog thats raring to go Thats great! A motivated dog is fun to work with, and clearly enjoys the challenges you are setting. But do you sometimes wish you could reign in some of that enthusiasm and produce the results that you both deserve Is your dog too excited to wait on the start-line in agility Is he distracted by people, other dogs, and all the sights, sounds and scents in the environment Does he struggle to process instructions Does he bark and spin if he gets frustrated Is he failing to focus on you Instead of relying on old-fashioned metho ds of coercion, author Jane Ardern, KCAI dog trainer of the year, has devised an emotionally-centred, choice-based training programme to tackle these issues.
