I was going to give you the smart ass answer that I use a handler. But it really is more then that. My handler is fairly local to me (within 30 miles). When he first took Fizbin on, he would come to the training club on Tuesday nights. The club offered obedience and conformation handling classes. So I will finish with obedience and immediately hand him off to Anthony for conformation. He would also take him for the day (Anthony works nights) while I was at work and train him. Anthony has probably spent more then 100 hours on training him.
Fizbin is a completely different dog with Anthony then he is with me. Fizbin naturally does the heads up heeling focus heeling. I know I didn't train it because my other dogs don't do it and I don't think I did anything especially different with him. Anthony does use completely different body language then I do. Anthony makes sure he doesn't do any signals or commands that I use for obedience, herding, tracking or carting (except when Anthony is using Fizbin to haul in the setup). I gave him a whole list of commands and signals and he avoids them. I think it is a whole relationship thing. Fizbin knows what to do to please Anthony and he knows what to do to please me.
