    The Safety Backup Imperative

    No matter how you train, at some point you need to move an animal from the protected training area to the real world, whether that is on exhibit, in the show ring, or on the street. At that point, you need to consider your safety back up equipment (and skills!), and make sure that all are protected. This is crucial when you work with dangerous dogs (or other animals).   Copyright 2024 Kayce Cover, All rights reserved; Syn Alia Training System (SATS), synalia.com/press
