I AM REHANDLING A 4YR OLD SERVICE DOG. EVERYTHING IS FINE APART FROM EXCESSIVE CREEPING ON DISTANCE CONTROL. THE PREVIOUS HANDLER HAD ALWAYS HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH HIM. I HAVE TRIED SEVERAL METHODS TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM i.e GOING BACK TO SHORT DISTANCE, LEAVING THE DOG IN POSITION AND CIRCLING,DOING IT ON A PALLET, PUTTING A BARRIER IN FRONT, CLIPPING HIM ON A LEASH AND PULLEY. HOWEVER AS SOON AS THERE IS NO TRAINING AID THE DOG REVERTS TO CREEPING. THE DOG KNOWS THE COMMANDS AND KNOWS THAT HE SHOULD STAY, BUT HE HAS THIS OVERWELMING URGE TO CREEP BACK TO ME.DO ANY MEMBERS HAVE ANY FUTHER IDEAS OR ADVICE ON SOLVING THIS PROBLEM.THANKS.

Use a long line, a second handler and then a e-collar to reinforce the down stay. I also have a training video titled Off Leas Control for Police Service Dogs. You can read it on my web site.
