training dogs is like practicing medicine...
so much information and different ideas and methods to choose from..
i wish we could keep it simple
i say read all you can and use all the tools available..
be prepared to make mistakes.. and learn from them..
everyone is in a different situation and different breeds to train
small dogs are different
still learning every day...
