STILL not fair......the GSD Invitationals and then a Michael Ellis Seminar
As for "today's class".......ya gotta leave the bad days/performances behind you..take what you've learned and start fresh tomorrow. Sometimes easier said then done, but you'll both perform better if your able to do that. It is definitely very insightful of you to have figured out - that dogs can turn the tables and train us to perform. One of the reasons why I video tape alot of my training sessions (using a tripod) is so that I can review
my errors, watch
my body language to see if I'm keying my dogs in any way..... as well as to see what
we need to focus on. Even the "spotters" that we have with keen eyes at our club, don't catch some of the things that I have been able to catch after reviewing the video a few times.
I had a
very very baddddddd training session tonight as well
to the point where I swear I was giving the commands in Dutch.... but from my dogs reaction (or lack thereof) =
you'd swear I was saying them in English- all the way home I kept reminding myself that tomorrow is a brand new day....as well as
of a game plan to resolve the "issues".
