Two events, not one - and what the handler does in between
87 videos indexed under this topic. Topic tags help you find relevant sessions; they do not mean the entire recording teaches this one idea.
After a hard repetition you do nothing at all until the dog is genuinely back to normal, because two repetitions run together stop being two events and become one long stretch of pressure.
