[nagdu] Problem

[Sherry Gomes via nagdu]

What I do if my dog goes too far to the right, and this is taught by GDB, is to pat my right hip and say "careful". Depending on the severity of the right edge thing or right veer thing, I might say it just calmly, like a quick, remember, and get back on your line. Or I might say it more firmly if I have to keep reminding her.

When I attended one of the schools, can't remember which, TSE or GDB. They taught me to sort of nudge the dog with my knee over to the left.This was use in combination with a left command, maybe it was a over left command. This was used to sort of remind the dog that they needed to be further on the left than where they were. The Nudge was not hard, was more a quick tap with your knee. Do they teach that at TSE or GDB?
