It only took a few repetitions before he realized it’s a helpful alert to slow down. Now if he hears my sound but wants to keep running, he turns and runs in a circle around me 😂 He’s also starting to learn to estimate its length himself and won’t try to sprint past its end as often.

I keep feeling confused about one aspect of things though and that is this:

It took me awhile to teach my dog how to do loose leash walking and as I gradually let her have more room on the long line, I’d like her to be able to do things like say, (using a 50 ft leash), run a hundred feet by getting to run all the way toward me, past me and then 50 ft in the other direction. But I also don’t want her to get jolted suddenly and/or knock me down by hitting the end of the line. Should I somehow give her a heads-up marker or something when she’s getting close to being to the end of it or how exactly should I work this part of it?

Any info is much appreciated! Thank you!
