When I first started out, I believed most of what the dog trainers said. After all they are the ones with the certifications and experience … but that really turned out to be a mistake. Nowadays I listen but I always do more of my own research and get opinions from other dog owners.

I think you figured all this out a lot quicker than I did

A very good article, and so true. The ‘famous’ trainers have the theory, the methods, the experience, and the personality, but like you said, only each dog’s owners/handlers know the dog inside and out, his quirks, his tendencies, and his personality.
