In preparation for our very first weight pull trial, I am trying to wean Dash away from food lures during practice. The weight we’re working with isn’t that challenging for him, but it is very hard to get him heads down and committed unless the food has made an appearance. He acts like the weight is too hard, until he’s been tempted with a goody and then he hauls ass (pun intended).

You’ve had it easy, buddy… Time to crack the figurative whip!
