Although I am pretty new to the sport ( had finished the UD on my novice A dog last year) I was taught to train with KMODT. I am not so sure that it's the method, I think it's how it applied. I am trying to build a relationship with my dog, I feel that treats or toys get on the way. My kerrie always looked like a dynamite in the ring. My giant seems to be more like Phoenix and its very hard to be more interesting than a squirrel or a tennis ball, but I believe we will succeed:-)Yuliya Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06268239690712291202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4901844543243405919.post-18002085870401072022013-10-09T07:13:02.229-07:002013-10-09T07:13:02.229-07:00Kathie, some of it is the dog.

He loves the breed ring (he can stand there and look gorgeous while staring at the cookie), has done well in agility and goes crazy when I'm in the tracking field. And I too trained my Novice A dog with more compulsion and he didn't stress in the ring like this one does (he wasn't a soft dog either). My little girl sounds like your puppy but instead of blood I end up with bruises!Graydogzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05809180593898925297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4901844543243405919.post-37428846201133843592013-10-08T14:20:46.139-07:002013-10-08T14:20:46.139-07:00Can't wait to read part 2....Can't wait to read part 2....Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13995080589602390013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4901844543243405919.post-64241403228725663002013-10-08T10:14:30.210-07:002013-10-08T10:14:30.210-07:00Hmmmm.... Maybe it's not the training .... May...Hmmmm.... Maybe it's not the training .... Maybe it's the dog??? I trained my first obedience dog the traditional, more formal way. He got his udx, however, appeared miserable in the ring. Now I have a six-month-old puppy I am determined to train with games, shaping and clicker. He tugs like crazy and bounces off the walls. I'm challenged to keep the attitude, while stemming the flow of blood (mine!) I'm wondering how this journey will end - looking forward to your next post!Kathie Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14276125662981781081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4901844543243405919.post-4004700329326853812013-10-08T06:41:05.519-07:002013-10-08T06:41:05.519-07:00I have traveled the same path and can hardly wait ...I have traveled the same path and can hardly wait to see what Part II says. I am sure I will be nodding my head as I have a dog that loves to train but will wilt in the ring at any time (and he was an awesome Novice dog who has had brilliant moments in Open and has been trained through Utility!).Graydogzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05809180593898925297noreply@blogger.com
