Really?

 I think it makes more sense and it's a lot easier to formalize a behavior the dog literally already knows how to do or even wants to do as opposed to training it to make a dog do something it does not know how to do or have any interest in doing.

And for the sake of discussion I'm talking about retrievers and the concept of them holding, delivering to hand and laying the foundation for future advanced training with an understanding of that now compulsory behavior.

But, just making them do something isn't difficult and people long ago prove that and many people continue to prove that. I want the dog to either understand the concept or want to comply with a concept before I formalize and show them they need to comply on my terms.

And that's Buck in the photo. Without question the best lab I have ever worked with in 38 years.

Gone since the 90s.

Once upon a time....

Shed of Arden, dual champion.

AKC field trials have become incredibly more difficult.

The appearance of labrador's that win on the bench has also changed.
