This is so ridiculous. I love when they show us how to manage perfectly trained dogs.😂

I often will give my "perfectly trained dogs" over to my clients to practice certain training exercises with. This gives the humans a chance to learn the mechanics of the exercise themselves without the pressure of also trying to teach the exercise to their dog simultaneously. This is a concept I have taken from the agility ring and applied to working with pet dogs. In agility we walk our courses without our dogs and work through our handling plans by ourselves before we attempt it with our dogs. We need to feel confident in what we're doing first before we can ask the dog to do it. If we don't know what we're doing, then how the hell is the dog going to know what to do?! So yes, these obviously non-reactive dogs are a good demonstration for the mechanics of these leash handling skills. It would be hard to see if the dog was actively flinging at the end of their leash barking their heads off, no?
