Competitive Obedience Skills
|
|
If you are planning to compete in obedience, you will probably want to choose just the right puppy, with just the right attitude, and there are a number of skills you will want to work on from the very beginning. Heeling and attention are two of the basics of a good performance, and are things that frequently cause problems for handlers. You also need to know how to motivate your canine partner to his best performance, and perhaps also polish your own handling skills to achieve top scores.
