1. Love your dog
2. Be on his side.. Not against him.. That means paying forfeit when sick, never pushing weight, getting to the spot a few days before, getting bloodwork done cause they can't talk to tell you something wrong
3. Most people lose because they overwork the dog. Rest them.. They're not machines
4. Each dog is different.. Work them differently according to style. A defensive ear animal gonna need air and stamina, a barnstorming killer gonna need strength to do what he sees if he's a pusher.. Train them that way
5. Be smarter than the dog.... Hard for some people. Find out what the dog likes to work and build around that.
