A good "safety" exercise to practice is a command that tells your dog treats are in the offing, and use it at irregular intervals when you are walking. Combine the command with a total release of pressure on the leash, preferably when your dog has firm tension on said leash. Then if something unexpected happens you have a built in reaction of the dog to look to you for a reward. This won't work if your dog is pursuing a major distraction, but should give you an edge if you have an equipment failure in otherwise neutral conditions. (you can carry this one step further by "accidentally" dropping the leash in a controlled area, or with a light line attached for safety, and practice until the dog turns to you when it feels a total release)

This was posted on Petfinder under lost pets! These dogs were lost on Friday-1/20/12-11:45 p.m. I do not know if they have been found. If anyone is in the area and can help with the search, please contact the person in the ad!
I do not know if this will bring up the individual ads-there are two ads-one for each dog! There is a picture of each dog.

Oh, no! They're our basenji's littermates. I hope they're found safe and soon.
I wonder if they found the male as he's not listed anymore.
-
The male was found dead, she is still looking for the female. I remember Jae showing both of them at the nationals this year and they were really cute.

Oh, my heart breaks for this family… including those of you distantly related to these pups. I'm praying there's a happy ending for the female.
Hugs and roos.... this is a sad weekend for this family.

I just can't stop thinking about this. I've been hugging my boy just a little tighter.
