Training the Pointing Labrador

In today's episode, after bringing everyone up to date with G and her activities at just over a year of age now... we begin the discussion of "Building a dog" from 8 weeks to successful life.  Often there are aspects to puppy upbringing people don't think much about.  Puppy breath and adorable eyes can erase the best of intentions, but just as it is with children, looking at the long-term goals and big picture is always the best way to approach this 10–15-year adventure.

The third in a series about getting to be a little bit better of a trainer than you are today.  Today the discussion revolves around bringing more awareness of yourself into your training session, and understanding your dog is always reflecting back to you the energy and focus you've brought into your interactions.  Awareness of what you bring in, what you've taught them whether intentional or not and what the dog is telling you - is key to a more successful team activity. www.Batesworks.net
