POLITE WALKING w/High Rate of Reinforcement - Part 3 of 3

[esemman]

Great series of videos that really help.

One question: What do you do if the dog is distracted (I know you should start in a quiet environment) or the dog decides to pull towards a distraction (mine is the cat wandering around)?

What I did was wait for the dog to look back at me and loosen the leash and I clicked and treated and continued from there.

Thank you again for a great video!

Wonderful! I see where I have been making mistakes and skipping steps or moving too quickly. Practicing with the cones and no dog is a great idea, as is changing the spacing.

I have some damage to my left elbow and a tendon that is currently making it difficult to deliver reinforcement acurately with my left hand at my side. Any suggestions or would it be a problem to use my right hand across my body while holding the leash in left?
