1. Always make sure your personal protection dog, bird dog or simply your family pet is having fun.
Strive to make him look forward to his next training session. You can
enhance this effort by not extending the session beyond 15 to 20 minutes.
Make sure you finish while he is enjoying himself and still wants more.
Two or three short sessions a day is always better than one long one.
2. If you find yourself getting frustrated (as we all
can) PUT THE DOG UP! Take him out later or the next day and try it
again. Remember! It must be fun for the dog or you’re backing up!
3. Only give your dog a command ONE TIME! After
that you must enforce it. Yelling HERE SPOT, SPOT I SAID HERE, COME HERE,
GET OVER HERE etc. etc. as he runs wild only reinforces his belief he doesn't
have to obey you. Either give the command and enforce it or don’t give
the command.
