Should be a sticky! Alevav knows of what she speaks, she helped Phil build our dog Guerin back up, after the first trainer they had, used only compulsion training, and created a dog that knew what to do, but did it like a robot, he was flat, and found no joy in working. After a weekend with Christy, he went on to be a dog that finished his CD, with placements for every leg, got his first CDX leg with a placement, AND gets compliments from judges and by standers about the JOY they see when he is in the ring. And this was accomplished using the methods Alexav posted above.
