B & C- Keep it short. 3-4 short, animated sessions are better than one long one.
Put the dog up and let's talk, bring him/her out again later. This is not the time for a board meeting.

Don't say your dog will V in any phase before you step on the trial field He's bound to humilate you if you do LOL

In addition to many of these posted that I've heard (too often!)

Make the training clear and consistent. 4. TRACK!! 5. Stop nagging the dog!! 6. YOU know YOUR dog better than anyone else. YOu make the decisions.

--Never put your dog in a position to fail.

When I was first started I trained with a trainer who won the 98 French Ring Nationals. I had the gall to act like I knew what I was talking about. He finally got frustrated with me and said........

"If you don't shut the F up and listen, you can hit the road. I sold you a good dog that I trained. Not you. You got talent, but until you put in the work, finish training that dog, and accomplish something; you don't know shit."

Kaffirdog - so, so true!

If I was as good intentionally training a dog as I am accidently i'd be brilliant . Well perhaps not....

Know what you have at the end of your leash and don't expect more than what's there. Karmen
