Teaching Agility Dogs Through Positive Reinforcement with Matisse Martin
Q: Do you find that with most of the dogs that you work with, they are primarily reinforced by food or toys?

Teaching Agility Dogs Through Positive Reinforcement with Matisse Martin
Q: What is some advice you can share regarding training dogs that are reacting to a stimulus, for example, other dogs?
