Part 3 of 4. Netting Sleeping Dogs and Other Tricks (with videos)
Catching a Resting Dog
You can see from Part 2 of this series on netting that when we are catching a dog running along a wall, we are going to sweep the net straight into the dog. But when catching a dog that is sleeping or laying down, we will use the net in a different way. Instead we place the net over the dog and many times it will be done softly to keep the dog’s energy low. After placing the net over the dog, throw the net away from you. Then slide the hoop on the ground towards you (a quick jerk can be enough) and the dog will try to struggle away from you and will move back into the deep part of the net. Quickly follow with the twist, Y pole, and towel as described in Part 2.
It is often easier to catch resting dogs when there are a lot of people on the streets. Stimulus is everywhere and if you stay relaxed, you are just one of the people.
Here is a video with some examples of catching dogs with nets. My comments will follow. Read more »
