Professional Insight
Training Academy Tip 💡
ProTrain Academy Tip: Use different coloured lanyards to signal different training modes to your dog. Some experienced handlers use one colour for formal training sessions and another for more relaxed fieldwork — dogs are remarkably good at picking up on these visual cues over time.
