Guidelines for Successful Results in Less Time

1. Set a teaching and training plan to meet goals. Stick with it!
2. Develop simple and single syllable commands (dogs don't speak English).
3. Work on one command at a time, and finish it before you move on.
4. Monitor progress weekly or monthly (ask for second opinion or even help).
5. Dogs learn by teaching first then repetition, repetition, repetition, and repetition.
6. Be consistent and fair every time out to avoid confusion and build on trust.
7. Don't expect more than your dog is able to do for his/her age.
8. Short positive sessions done frequently are more retentive.
9. Know when to quit before it's too late.
10. Always end each training session on a positive note!
