I think a mixture of the underlying concepts, positive reinforcement, who you are and the temperament of Yorkies works well.
I do have to agree. Once you've read his book and seen a few episodes, it's all the same. |
Agreed!!
As a side note, I read his book and did enjoy it, although a good portion of it was about the red zone cases that thankfully I don't have a problem with (however I have heard of people encountering a strange agressive dog and using things they'd pick up from the DW that kept them safe.) But the part of the book that I did find fascinating was the story of how he got to where he is today. I asked both of my daughters to read the first 70 pages only - nothing to do with dog training - but to inspire them as young adults ready to work
hard for what they want in life!
