Hunting and chasing.
Yasha is an 8 month old Shikoku with very strong hunting instincts. She chases birds and squirrels. Her humans are visiting Scotland from Austria and booked in with me for some training.
Here, we are stalking the crows in the first clip and the magpie in the second. Distance and movement are two huge factors here. The closer the distance and the faster the movement, the harder it is. In time and with more practise, we'll be able to get closer with her just watching.
We are not suppressing behaviour here. We are enhancing the watching and stalking part of the sequence.
No need for shock collars or other such 🐂💩 if you have a clue what you're doing.
If you need help with this with your own dog, comment "hunting" below and I'll get you help.
