Meet & Greet with Nicholas S.

I am familiar with the skills of the dogs and the handlers so when I have a visitor like Nicholas S. that comes with his parents to class I encourage meet and greet exercises.  There are 3 very important things occuring here.

1) The handler is learning to control their dog and the guest.
2) The dog is learning the way the leader desires them to act.
3) The child or guest will learn to approach and not stimulate the dog with their behavior.
The more everone practices the better they all get.
