Bark training 2

Alright this is like a week after Bark Training 1. We’ve done the tie back a few times and I think I can get her to do it with me holding her back. This can be confusing for her, and I wouldn’t want to try it if I didn’t think she was ready. And we’ll want to do this a few times before we move to having a helper.

The technique here is shaping again, this time instead of me getting closer to her, we get closer to the ball. I see some guys on youtube using agitation collars for this; but, I want to keep my leash pressure communication strong, so I’m going to use harnesses most of the time.
