Not a trainer at all, just an on server and assistant to a friend.
The breed tests are a fantastic way to a great dog.
And my very limited experience has experienced a lot
of, "the dog knows how to hunt," fiascos.
I have even seen those play out at breed tests with dogs that
were "trained" by professionals, for people that "didn't have time" to do it.
Really humiliating, running across a 50 acre field screaming your dog's name,
as she goes through the fence row, into the next field.
After bragging about what the Pro. charged to train her.
We all looked at each other, embarrassed for him.
