Clips (E-Clips) - These are designed to hold the axles in place.

Cold – This is a term that is used to describe a dog’s running on a concept that it has become familiar with, but the item’s exact placement is something that is new to the particular dog.

Collar Conditioning - This is a type of conditioning through which a dog is taught to turn off stimulation from the collar.

Columbian Black Tail – This is a type of deer that can be found all along the Pacific Coast between British Columbia and California.

Conditioning - This is a method of learning based on experience. For example, bucks have been conditioned to only be active in the nighttime during the hunting season. They have learned that there is only a little bit of pressure during the darkness in comparison to the daylight.
