This LL protocol, including how the LL is held particularly with the 'Safety Loop', is Margot Woods' method. Margot had two blown out knees and walked on two canes when I met her. Margot's background was working highly aggressive/dangerous dogs, and the 'Safety Loop' was the only way a very small woman, with health challenges, could successfully handle an unruly dog. Since I'd never seen any other way of doing LL, this protocol is what I learned.
ReplyDeleteIt wasn't until winter of 2015, nearly 5 years after working for Margot for 5 years and teaching hundreds of students, that I took Tony's ISTA Course. I was shocked at how Tony used the LL as there is no way I could use my upper body to muscle a dog intent on going another direction. Without that 'Safety Loop' I had no leverage to handle a dog out of control. I never did do LL Tony's way; all my submitted videos showed me handling it the way Margot taught me. While I had to relearn many of the mechanics I learned from Margot (they weren't Koehler), I never did do LL except the way you see it in my videos.
I have injuries to my neck and my lower back, so working the LL the way I learned it from Margot, with the all-important 'Safety Loop' is what allows an older, gray haired woman, that is me, to successfully handle a dog, any dog, safely and effectively on a LL. I wouldn't do LL any other way as there are times that 'Safety Loop' is all that prevents a dog from seriously injuring me...or a student.
Hope that helps you understand.
Roxanne
I loved the human distractions behind the fence. I'll practice releasing the loop. I haven't find it necessary with Piper, but am sure I would if she weighed 100# instead of 50#.
