We chose Tallak because of his natural breed abilities and compact, pocket-battleship build. Before the Expedition we augmented and developed these natural abilities though taining and much use of ‘positive reinforcement’. Fortunately for us, he is very willing to learn and favours petting as a reward rather than treats. We have made 2 videos which give a fun insight into Tallaks character and his training before our Grand Adventure.
These 2 videos can be found on the Youtube channel ‘paddlethewaters‘ and/or by following the direct links below to them. We hope you enjoy watching them as they were a lot of fun to produce!
[ Nous avons tenté de capturer le plus de moments possible de l’enfance de Tallak ainsi que de son entraînement pour l’Expédition. Les meilleurs moments ont été rassemblés dans les deux vidéos suivantes (suivez les liens qui vous amèneront sur notre poste Youtube ‘paddlethewaters’). Amusez-vous! ]
