Using your hands: -Praise and reward only until your finesse/timing is there and your puppy is responding to: verbal, body language and leash.   - If done wrong using your hands ends up having a reverse effect (hands on a dog trying to get through a threshold or right about to be a dog fight for example). -I hardly use my HANDs while HANDling dogs… (see what I did there?)  -Hands mimic the timing and technique of your leash -Hands are for guidance, not forcing.  Want relief and results?
