Safety & Etiquette
"Distraction is Dangerous." The Rules of Engagement.
Respect the Vest
When you see a dog in a vest, you are looking at medical equipment with a heartbeat. It might look like he is just "standing there," but he is monitoring my heart rate and breathing.
Do Not Touch
Even a quick pat on the head breaks his focus. Imagine if someone unplugged your computer while you were working.
Do Not Talk
Making kissy noises or whistling forces him to choose between training and instinct. Don't make him choose.
