Cuba's chin target has been "okay", but she hasn't really "stuck" to the hand before. Usually she's gone a bit with the chin target, then slid forward slightly and come back again.

From there onwards I see everything as a disturbance. I change positions—first sitting, then I stand up, and I also add movement.

I don't have specific context about what you're referring to—are you asking about: 1. **Dog behaviour/anatomy trends** (locked hind legs vs. front legs in dogs)? 2. **Training methods** at Canis? 3. **Health/physical conditions** in dogs? 4. **Equipment or gear**? Could you clarify so I can provide an accurate translation to English? I want to make sure I understand the subject matter before translating for Canis Hundeskole.

I'm not entirely happy with Bonus's position in heelwork off-lead. In my opinion, she's a bit too far forward.

Now I'm sitting on the boat home from Denmark (unfortunately). I've had a wonderful holiday, relaxed, eaten good food and not least trained my dog and discussed dog training!

The main focus will still be on agility, but now she will also train a bit more obedience and because I don't like to do things halfway, she will now be a participant in the foundation skills course starting 20 February.

The courses I've created so far have been very large courses with many tasks and lasting 3 months.

It's not uncommon for me to meet owners who apologise because their dog cannot or will not play with them.

This film I've posted before, but it's so good and so spot on that it deserves a rerun!

I've created an online course on the theme of loose-lead walking. And why was it specifically loose-lead walking that became the theme of my first online course?

At a competition this autumn I got chatting with some other participants. There was some discussion about distance with locked front legs versus locked back legs.
