- practice exercises that will teach you how subtle differences in posture, speed, and direction of movement dramatically affect your ability to provide clear direction.
- skillfully move dogs into position in a way that gives clear guidance, thereby increasing the dog's confidence in you and decreasing his confusion and anxiety.
