Maybe instead of getting defensive, take a step back and listen, I know I do. I've actually learned a few new things just from this thread alone |
Well you know that my mentor doesn't mince words with me either. But, the day we stop learning we may as well just roll over. She and her previous handler put me through the ringer before allowing me into the ring. Getting defensive defeats the purpose. I look at it as constructive criticism, especially given by those veterns. Not to say that we can't learn from people that are relatively new to the breed and sport.
