Dog Training Behind Cue 12.27.09.wmv

Some might question why I would train my dog to get behind me. If youve ever owned a Doberman or perhaps other large type guarding dog its not unusual to pass people who are afraid of your breed. The most obvious maneuvers humans do is either move completely away or you they move their hand behind their back. There are also occasions when you need to pass and theres only room for you or your dog to pass first. You DO NOT want your dog to pass in front of you. There may also be times when it might be convenient to prevent a loose dog from getting in your dogs space/face. And finally, while mentoring a SAR person I suggested it might have been helpful in preventing his working GSD dog snapping at an evacuee reaching out to pet the dog! Additionally, when you see a professional trainer, especially a working dog trainer, it is not appropriate to pet the dog, there may be instances when some handlers will give you permission, but you should ask first.
