POdcast: How I chose a Handling System (Daisy Peel)

[corbinam]

I just listened to Daisy Peel's short podcast (approx. 10 minutes) on how she chose a handling system. I found it very interesting, and very much in line with how I feel.

I thought you guys might want to listen as well: http://www.daisypeel.com/podcasts/how-i-chose-a-handling-system/

Incidentally, she does use the APHS (Linda M.), but I think she makes a great point about how no matter what foundation you follow, you use what works for you and your dog.

This is exactly what she told us at her seminar. And for the exact reasons she stated, that a specific handling system probably works best for that one person.

I think that's why I no longer stress the Derrett system, even though it's what I learned. And why I bought the LM DVDs, because I thought it was very interesting with the cues and at the seminar, it really seemed to work with Koji when we I ran it correctly. Granted, I needed to push myself too, but that's okay. I need to push myself more. We just seemed to flow better.

I definitely agree with her that whatever you do, it should be systematic, especially when first teaching the dog. I think that's where I've gotten off track with Koji. I need to reinforce and learn more handling and to understand what I'm doing.
