Episode 55: Turns **Continuing on with my Foundation Workbook, Section C = Turns. In this section I focus on the Pull Turn and the Push Turn.

Below are some videos highlighting a small fraction of the pull and push training that I do. I do focus a lot on this type of training, so there is a lot of different types of trainings that I work on to help strength and make these turns dynamic for the dog, in a host of scenarios.
