Oh I thought I'd also add that every time I've gone back and repeated classes - ie first with Dougal then with Dixie - I've learnt something new. (OR in the case of the beginners 1 agility class FOUR times with Dougal!) Training methods are always moving on. They are always developing new methods for training the same old tricks. Even with only 18 months between Dougal and Dixie I learnt SO much. For example learning about clicker training was just fabulous - I wish I'd known about it before I started training Dougal. If you find a trainer that clicks - I say go for it! |
