Problem Solving: Whining & Barking

Do you have a dog that whines when setting up for a retrieve, or barks when sent on a go-out?

Noise in the ring can be a difficult problem to tackle!

How can you clearly communicate to your dog that you love his enthusiasm or his good go-out, but you cannot allow him to vocalize while performing?

Coaching obedience teams for over 30 years, I’ve had to develop techniques that work for both traditional and non-traditional breeds. In this week’s video, I describe a solution I have used for years to address noise. It is a careful and systematic solution to the problem.

I hope you enjoy it. As always, do not hesitate to send me your questions!
