I purchased your book about two weeks ago. Finally, some-one has written an exercise book that makes sense. Great Job...bet it took plenty of time to put all it together, huh?
The main reason I'm writing for you is because I am confused about some items that deal with training the down/stay and sit/stay. Tell me if this sounds like I've it right:
First, teach her (canine) putting her in the right place immediatel.. and how-to do the demand doing representatives.
Dear Adam:
I bought your book about a couple of weeks ago. Finally, some-one has written a training book that produces sense. Good Job...bet it took a lot of time-to put all it together, huh?
The reason why I'm writing to you is because I'm confused about some things that cope with teaching the down/stay and sit/stay. Tell me if this seems like I have it right:

[Adam:] It's likely to just take a lot more than one work out. If the dog finds anything, it is situational. So that you are going to have to work the exact same exercise... at the same position within the program... In a number of different locations before-you are ready-to move onto the next step.
During proofing, is it okay to include distractions during the dogs following the dog does the command for me a few times properly without having to be corrected understanding cycle?
[Adam:] You're confusing two things. Is the dog in
