10 Commandments
1. A dog is only as good as its STAY.
2. Work for D-E-A: discipline, exercise and attention – in that order.
3. The handler-dog relationship must be based on mutual love, respect and trust.
4. Apply P.A.C.= purpose, assertiveness, and confidence.
5. Physical control, patience, and priority must be earned from the handler’s quality within the stay command.
6. Guidance must be learned from the handler’s quality within the heel command.
7. The handler must set and maintain the tone of the atmosphere.
8. Enhance “your” dog-brain by increasing your awareness through observation.
9. First time told. Second time fixed.
10. Encourage the problems to discourage the problems, once respect is earned from the dog.
