I am not sure about judgment and instincts. The dog will respond with either its natural instincts or the responses to certain stimuli through learned behavior. (Schooling). If a dog got in his rear end and he goes to the face and nose and get shim out. The next dog that tries that (stimuli) he will do the same (response), or at least we hope that is what he does, sort of the purpose of schooling. Teach, encourage, build confidence and recognize.

Talking to the dog during work is a means of conditioning the brain. When he works hard and is enthusiastically encouraged, when he gains ground and is in apposition to really lay some wood, that enthusiastic encouragement in the box can almost be on command. EWO
