Rehab Reality
Every trainer markets rehabilitation. Heather built this to ask what the word actually means, and to hand shelters, rescues and owners something tangible when they are deciding what is possible for a difficult dog.
Rehabilitation- The act of restoring something to its original state.
Management- To handle or direct with a degree of skill. Also, to make and keep compliant.

Learn the Right Way
to Use Your Sidekick®
From proper hand positioning to different leash configurations, learn the techniques that help you use the Sidekick® with greater confidence, control, and clarity.
Holding the leash with both hands, place one hand closest to the dog below the black handle part of the leash. If you need to keep your dog close, place this hand pretty far down the leash and close to your dog's head. If your dog can handle a little more freedom, your hand won't need to be so far down the leash.
This same hand should be positioned like you're riding a bicycle, palm down with the pinky finger on the outside, facing the dog. This dramatically improves your ability to apply the appropriate amount of pressure at the appropriate time, improving your ability to communicate with your dog.
