How to Execute the Tap Move
1. Where to Tap: ● Shoulder: A tap on the shoulder can gently steer your dog in the desired direction or regain its attention if it’s distracted. ● Back: A tap on the back is effective for dogs that tend to ignore shoulder taps. It’s a bit more assertive and can help in maintaining control during walks. ● Butt: Tapping on the butt can be useful when your dog needs a bit more guidance to sit or stay. ● Head: Carefully tap on the head, avoiding the eyes, to refocus your dog when it's particularly distracted. This should be done gently and with caution. 2. When to Use the Tap Move: ● Distraction: When your dog is distracted and not paying attention to you. ● Reinforcement: To reinforce commands like "sit," "stay," or "heel." ● Correction: When your dog is not following a command, a gentle tap can act as a reminder.
