About a year ago, I decided to basically have one single focus when training with Quling: to get a better cooperation. The time before this decision had been a long and frustrating period where I did not understand my dog and I could not get through to him. He seemed...

To stop at a distance – why is that sometimes so difficult? We often have students who think it is a huge challenge to get the dog to work at a distance from them. They usually also think that it is difficult to get the dog to stop when she hears the stop whistle...
