fair enough.

wys and i asked as we didnt think their were any british dog training shows on telly these days.

It would be aired with the trainers agreement i would think.

I do this method on some dogs but like many of you I always call their names before I turn & march ij the other direction, then if the dog still chooses to ignore, hen hey get tugged (its not like I'm running in the other direction & the diggers janked off their feet) I want my dogs to learn to pay attention to me.

I`m not really sure how to explain without showing you. The lead is already taut. What you do is angle it. The dog notices and looks - and follows. So the dog experiences a change - the pressure doesn`t increase. In the old method - walk backwards - I agree the pressure is increased. But in the Drunken Walk one, the turns are more subtle. The pressure is changed - and the dog checks to see what is going on, sees the handler moving in a new direction and follows. The lead is loose from that point.

Its a repeat - you get loads of repeats on the Sky channels. My mum is a avid Vicar of Dibley fan & i swear i know each epi off by heart !

I really hate most TV dog training programs for this exact thing. They always seem to promote these sorts of methods. Some try to stray further away from it, but even on shows where more positive reinforcement is used, you see some of this.
