This webinar covers an innovative approach to dog training while working with contained dogs. Traditional dog enclosures are typically rectangular or angular, which may limit a dog’s natural exploratory behavior. Fence reactivity is common in properties where dogs are housed in traditional enclosures. Circular fencing provides an opportunity for enrichment, safe containment, and a hands-off approach to training. Any level of volunteer or staff member in rescues or shelters and dog guardians can learn the basics without using restraining devices. This unique training approach involves using circular fencing to create a more enriching environment for dogs, which can help mitigate issues like fence reactivity and frustration that arise from traditional rectangular or angular enclosures. It enables training for dogs that are unable to be on leash. Any level of handler can learn how to work their dog. The use of circular fencing changes the dynamics of the enclosure, allowing dogs to explore more naturally and reducing stress and reactivity. The design creates endless movement, which aids in reducing frustration typically seen in straight-line fencing and enclosures. This method can be applied in various settings, such as shelters, rescues, and training facilities, dog parks, “Sniffspots,” and backyards. Circles can be used in dog training for assessments, shelters, rescues, dog boarding, training, and daycare facilities. They are handy for aggressive dogs and those with a robust play style and feral and fearful dogs or dogs that are not trained on a leash.
