Stopping and holding an area
I found some notes I made from a training session with Quling a while ago and thought I’d share them with you. I have gone from the first basic exercises for holding an area to the next step. Quling and I haven’t worked on holding an area much but got back into...We are clicker trainers
We started our publishing company Klickerförlaget eight years ago because we wanted to publish our own book “Retrieving for All Occacsions” in Swedish – but rather quickly the publishing house developed into something more. We want to spread...Breathe! Count to three!

I was surprised – I had become so spoiled by almost everything coming so easily with this dog. Never before...And when the weather’s still bad …
