What I want you to learn from this video.
If you are trying to practice off-leash obedience with your own dog. The one thing I want you to take away from this video is you must have good on-leash obedience first before your dog will work off-leash.
I always recommend to all my students to get your on-leash obedience training down first, and then you can start working towards off-leash.
If you’re more advanced and have trained previous dogs before, then you know you could practice basic to advanced training exercises with your dog from the beginning of training.
If you’re a beginner, you should practice with your on-leash obedience first. Once you have your dog doing well with all your commands. Then you can advance to off-leash.
