At 14-15 weeks old, Intro to Puppy Inverted LL work in alley/corridor/tunnel, etc

 

The biggest thing to remember when introducing the LL to your puppy is the puppy is wearing a flat buckle collar AND your mechanics are softer with far less umphf than working a 6-month or older dog.

These are puppies so the Puppy Inverted LL is just like working a very small dog.  Small movements, shorter steps, easier letting out of the Safety Loop, softer turns which means more work for you compensating for a puppy that knows nothing.

Remember this is merely an "INTRODUCTION" so remember my mantra

"Less done well is far, FAR better than more done poorly."
