A letter from Ben
In the thirteen years that I have been involved in dog training I have seen several methods come and go. I well remember what Mike Conley, former Razorback track star and a dog trainer for Northwest Arkansas Schutzhund club who has competed in both national and Internationally told me. “Ben there are many ways to train find the one that works for you.” I have never forgotten that. Methods may vary but the message is the same. a good well trained dog, as someone once said that the proof of the puddin Is in the eating. He are some bullet statements that define Bens K-
- Perfect practice makes perfect not practice
- Be patient
- Pay attentions to details
- Practice, Practice, Practice
- Praise praise praise ( both the dog and student)
- Be consistent
- Never ignore a mistake regardless of how insignificant it may seem. You will pay for it later.
- Correction -
praise - reward
- Three and a freeby ( this simply means that when there has been a mistake, repeat the same exercise three times with correction and the fourth without corrections. ninety nine percent of the time this will correct the problem.
- Unless your learn to properly correct your dog, your dog will never reach its maximum potential.
