Regardless of what dog training direction you want to go in, whether a pleasant pet, a canine companion, any dog competition, a working dog or police dog....all dog training starts with the basics.   Knowing how to adjust to the strengths and weaknesses of each dog to bring out the best dog obedience requires greater knowledge and training skills.  It also requires a dog trainer who understands the canine mind without arrogance and someone who has a heart and patience for animals and dog training and behavior.
