I think you have it the wrong way round
it should be
Your DOG is only as good as the one at the end of the leash

Cee
I should refraze that it  normally is 'YOU LOONY BITCH'

Hi Steve, thanks I never thought of it that way but I see how that works and I like your version.

The way I said it is more along the way of "the proof is in the points" or humans can lie dogs show the truth.

When giving your dogs commands...

"Say it like a German"  -John

I haven't been at it long enough to have a favorite saying, but when Beckett & I attended Vic Wilms seminar at Shelley's, Vic was showing how to teach a good clean 'aus' by placing the dumbbell in the dogs mouth, instructing the dog to bite, & then then telling him to 'aus' & removing the dumbbell...Beckett was doing great, chomping right down on the dumbbell with his full, deep bite......& I was trying very hard not to cry, because my fingers were still around it as well..........OWWWW! I was so very glad he had the 'aus' part down.....! Who was the dumbbell!?! jackie harris

Don't Let Go Yet!!!!!!!  

or Two words...  PREY MONSTER!!!

One of my favorites with clients who aren't sure they need a trainer, the ones who argue that they've "had dogs their whole life" etc. is (delivered with a smile) : "I've had indoor plumbing my whole life too, doesn't mean I knwo how to fix it when something goes wrong!"

I have a ton...I think I have a gift for humorous analogies that will make my clients laugh and see things my way without being confrontational.  People don't take well to being told they're wrong, make them smile and they'll listen to you.

Sounds Daft but he caught on pretty quick
