Why is Sugar Longe Line working the new dog, a young Samoyed, named Sitka? What is Sitka doing? Why following along quite nicely.

| Mike is using his left foot to show Sugar which way to go - regardless of the LL Sugar is holding |
 |
| What's on the end of the Longe Line? Why look, there's a dog there, a young Samoyed named Sitka. Of course, Sherpa is wondering if Sugar needs her help also? |
 |
| Nah, Sugar doesn't need any help at all. |
 |
| And look, Sitka is 'mirroring' Sugar's body language. Dog do learn by watching other dogs. |
 |
| Mike turning Sugar just using his footwork as our trained dogs are taught to 'read our feet.' |

Ahh, look! Perfect heeling with Mike
Atta boy, Sugar.
Atta, girl, Sitka.
OH...this was Sitka's 1st day at daycare. |
Ok, I read it and looked at the pictures
ReplyDeleteI thought that was very interesting.
Was Sugar training Sitka? That's pretty cool
Yes, Sugar was helping to train Sitka. He often did that to help the learning dog learn
