| Yes, good training helpers are hard to find. The only way to learn is through years of doing it under the watchful eye of someone experienced.
The best way to determine how effective a training helper is, is to find out how many dogs have received titles from that person's training. The true benchmark is finding dogs that earned titles that were "Lesser quality" dogs. If a training helper can get the "family pet" couch potato, or a dog from a BYB ready for a title, this is far more of an accomplishment than working with a high powered import out of solid working lines. Doing this requires experience in many different methods. |
