A common start is light touches on the back or shoulders, never the head, while the dog holds a full grip, then slowly building the level as the dog shows it can cope. The popper and lash add sound, which helps raise the dog's activation without contact. Many helpers also carry the stick early on, simply so the dog gets used to seeing it. Stick work should be left to an experienced helper. Check the padding and cover for wear before each session.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eK9 Store is the exclusive UK distributor of Schweikert.
