| Re: Hoping to Title in Obedience
Like others have said it is about quality not quantity of practice aslo I must add it is about setting a good foundation not about how fast you move up. I usually find the people who advance ahead too quickly only achieve 90odd% accuracy which soon winds back and also means they are always trying to find cures for their problems where the real problem exists in that their foundation work is poor. Get the commands right, never give a command you are not able to have the dog perfrom instantly, never let it break a command until released. If you do these things and thus set yourself a good foundation then the rest is easy but mess this up even a little and it becomes so much harder with usually the best solution being to go back to step one and start again.
