I wouldn't want my dog to do nose touches. It only teaches front end awareness and not rear end awareness which is what contacts are all about. I also want my dogs head up approaching the end of a contact.
@DawnWeaver1 Yes, there are pros and cons. But I really DO want nose touches, because it gives him an active behaviour at the end of the contact (instead of passive standing still). So I put a lot of work into teaching my dogs rear end awareness as an important part of the foundation training, and so far it seems like Kuling has no questions as to where his hind legs are supposed to go.
Great content/progression on this video BUT the music on this video takes away from the material because you don't hear the clicks. Plus music does not appeal to everyone.
