Bella demonstrating her grit (and getting a good reward for coming back)

Check out that grit! Bella loves tug and it is a great way way to reinforce her for coming back when called or for disengaging from movement.

Bushka goes for a calm walk in the Castlemaine Botanical Gardens

Does your dog know what you want? Teaching your dog how to walk on a loose lead, check in with you, disengage from the ducks and relax while taking in their environment makes for a happy dog and happy owner (or trainer). Great work Bushka!
