However in a class, everyone has to keep up. Bill says an animal is most easily trained by repetition and by keeping a tight time table. That way the animal knows when he's supposed to perform his stuff. Even after the course ends, a person should go thru the practice session every day. The best kind of dog to have, according to Bill, is a friendly dog which has had basic obedience training and which has not been severely beaten for any reason.
Many people ask the difference between training pure breeds and mixed breeds.
There isn't any difference. What happens is that in the obedience class the dog learns he's not the boss. If properly trained, the dog will stay with its master and not be where it shouldn't be. I've come across people who couldn't train a dog, but I've never met an untrainable dog. I don't think there's a dog who can't be trained.
