British handling is much more
of a freestyle method!
The dog is encouraged to stand centrally in
front of the handler with the aid of a bait bag
and usually walked into position.
Nearly all handlers use a bait bag but some
will use treats in their pockets but hold the
bait centrally to keep the dog aligned.
This is entirely your choice but remember to be
consistent.
Once the dog is aligned his attention is kept
by feeding with the liver.
Natalie shows free standing without a bait
bag here but she is using a clear signal to Otto
by using her hand that he must stay - back to
consistency!
