michaels' method determines the minimum stim levels by observing the dog , then conditions the dog to the sensation by performing two sets of behaviours .
a recall , with a quick " nick " at the same time leash pressure ( long line ) is applied , and a recall where a random stim is applied on " continous " simultaneously with leash pressure . the first sign of compliance turns off the stim .
in addition , he uses the touch pad , using the same protocols as above .
these two behaviours cover the dog coming towards you , and the dog going away from you as well as the dog moving away from the direction of the sensation and moving into the direction of the sensation .
the " nick " set is the " reminder " application , and the " continous " set teaches the dog how to turn off pressure .
really too bad steve couldn't have made it because i can't imagine undertaking this kind of work without the expert eye of someone with the skills of michael overseeing these very important introductory stages .
