Tip

Good health is important.

Dogs, like people, have good days and bad days. If your dog is sick or sore, he will have trouble focusing on the task at hand just like you would.

Before you begin training, make sure he is in good health and not infested with parasites, etc. If he appears to be off-color or having a bad day, it may be best to limit the training for a day or so.
