Talk Softly.....You'll Be Amazed at the Results!

Our dogs have a great sense of hearing. They hear much better than we do. I have been amazed lately how well they respond if I talk softly. Even if out on a walk on the trail, while they are looking for varmits, a stage whisper works wonders! A soft call of one's name, or a softly spoken "Right Turn" seems to trigger almost an immediate response. Much more so than if I talk loudly, harshly or, worst of all, yell. And the response is ALWAYS positive and expectant! Try it yourself!
