In the last few years, since my canine strength cert/parkour experience deepened, I have worked really hard to eliminate body pressure from my training. One of the skills where body pressure is most easily applied is when we are teaching a ‘backup.” We walk towards our dogs and “voila” they back up…or drop into a sit, as a reaction to our pressure. The Int’l Parkour Association changed that for me! Now, this is my favorite way to teach a beep beep. 😉 Much clearer and cleaner training, no body pressure!
