Orientation (safety when you’re out and about)

Orientation is the ability to walk away while you are out and about with your dog and know that they will follow you as soon as they notice.

This is a huge safety factor which helps a lot in dog parks or busy areas, as well as any area you are able to have your dogs off leash.

In this video Fraser explains how to teach your dogs to orientate to you from a foundation level. After that proofing is adding more distance between you and your dog, more distractions in the area while you perform the exercise and performing it for a longer duration.
