Building YOUR retriever - what are your priorities?
Posted: Mon 10 Sep 2007 9:50 pm
Hi All,
I was giving some thought today to the aspects that are priorities for me in building and developing my pup for retrieving. Whilst I do follow a well-defined pathway in his training (which I have no doubt is similar to what many others do) I have noticed I tend to focus more on building certain areas. These areas luckily form a neat acronym; "ATOM" which is, Attitude, Trust, Obedience and Memory.
So, for you, what are your priorities when developing your retriever?
Looking forward to hearing from the huge stores of experience and ability that lurk quietly in the shadows of this board. Please share so that others can learn...
Cheers
Kirsty
