Rally free week 1
Today we introduced what rally free is all about and the three tricky pieces you will need to pay attention to:
Teaching your dog to work equally on your right and left side
Extinction of the auto-sit
Using only verbal cues, no hand signals
We worked on the bow, which is a key feature of every rally free course. Continue to work on the bow using the method you think works best for your dog. Each of you are at your own level for this behaviour, but the end goal is for your dog to perform a bow anywhere from just a verbal cue (think Dunbar's test).
