Early Handler Drills with Michael Ellis

Throughout our training, we introduce new techniques for both training behaviors as well as management at different stages in the dogs development. However, we do not want our dogs to rehearse bad or inappropriate behavior, such as pulling on the leash prior to introducing leash pressure. In order to manage our young dogs in the early stages of training, we do a variety of handler drills. These drills help build a successful training relationship with our dog and translate into the foundation for some of our more advanced behaviors later down our training path. In this short video, Michael Ellis will discuss both the how and the why or a few of these simple handler drills.
