A Go Further Training Course:
Hand Choreography
Resting hands. Luring hands. Delivery hands. Hands as signals and cues. Stillness as a mode.
Body cues as the backing chorus.
Giving the best information TO the dog to enhance their understanding of what we are asking, how we are responding and are we listening? It may begin with our hands but incorporates our balance, our poise, our intent: all quite readable by the dog – they are the experts.
A hand movement that begins at the shoulder can have different impact through the moment, the starting position and the finish position. Learn the skills that those “really good” trainers appear to have naturally. Self-awareness, consistency and empathy for the listener.
WHAT to move, HOW to move with what power and WHEN to move.
This is NOT about mechanics, good hand language is filled with nuance and subtlety, vibrance and promise: dogs are expert at this we have much to learn to meet their standard.
