This has been bugging me for a while and I can't figure it out. If any of you watch The Dog Whisperer you've seen him roller blade with this huge pack of dogs pulling him or one dog pulling him. My question is _ How the hell does he stop if he needs to?

mfm,

While I appreciate the obvious amount of effort it took to compose such an insightful and profound answer; I was hoping for something slightly more practical and less transcendental. Perhaps even an idea of how one would teach a pack of dogs to stop quickly.

I'm not sure. I would have to ask my kid, she does it with at least one of our dogs sometimes 2 pulling her.

allaboutthedawgs, How do you teach them not to split poles? Same principal. They must learn that they can have great fun pulling you along. Then they must learn that ultimatly they need to pay attention to you when the game changes. Consistancy, reward and correction. I know this may sound overly simplistic, but all training is. If you understand their basic understanding, what motivates them and what they dislike you will figure it out. You just have to be smarter then them. So, how do you teach them not to split poles when you are walking with them?

By split the pole do you mean the dog goes on one side of a pole and the handler goes on the other? I haven't heard this term yet.

allabouthedawgs, That's what I call it. It's just a way for the dog to learn to be aware of you, that he is not the one that is in control when YOU change the focus. This of cource depends on what your trying to establish with the dog.
