Episode 55: Turns

Episode 55: Turns  **Continuing on with my Foundation Workbook, Section C = Turns.  In this section I focus on the Pull Turn and the Push Turn.  Below are some videos highlighting a small fraction of the pull and push training that I do.  I do focus a lot on this type of training, so there is a lot of different types of trainings that I work on to help strength and make these turns dynamic for the dog, in a host of scenarios.
