Ever.<br /><br />• Respect your dog as a totally unique individual, never as an extension of your ego.<br /><br />• All this training and titling stuff is YOUR idea, not your dog’s.<br /><br />• Evaluate your dog’s skills often and be realistic: recognize the faults, problem areas, etc. and deal with them before they get worse.<br /><br />• Keep your focus on the process (training) not the outcome (title).<br /><br />• Never be afraid to ask your dog for more effort. This means you have to give more effort, too. - I LOVE the reconginition that in order to ask for more you have to give more ;) BRILLIANTLY put <br /><br />• It’s okay to back up and strengthen a foundation skill. (especially if your name is Thea and you forget how to weave like TOTALLY)<br /><br />• Listen to advice, consider it carefully, do what you think is best. so so true <br /><br />• I have a beautiful, brilliant, athletic dog. - aren't we lucky? Me too :)<br /><br />• When it comes to training, quality is better than quantity.<br /><br /><br />great great thought provoking points<br /><br />and Congrats on your amazing weekend .. I look foward to sharing the rest of the journeyandreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08911146116540091798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4901844543243405919.post-64143952732605171802010-10-20T05:23:08.748-07:002010-10-20T05:23:08.748-07:00Oops, you forgot one thing on the list.

My favorites (because they pertain to where I am right now) are: <br /><br />- It’s okay to back up and strengthen a foundation skill: I've been playing a lot of front games and finish games. It's weird because it almost doesn't feel like training unless you're doing full exercises, but it still counts.<br /><br />- If you believe you can, you will: That's especially relative right now because I'm getting very tired of everyone saying, "You can't do ____ with a Malamute."Amy / Layla the Malamutehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17483472323529793052noreply@blogger.com
