I'm sorry, but if a fancier is smart today, they likely already realize the era of keeping 30, 50, or more dogs is bygone. If not, news flash!:-) Training methods like this.can allow a fancier to do more with less IMO. A dog that will quit.in :20 for.the local hee haw dog.goober may do 2:00 for a beloved friend. Who got it wrong in the former scenario? Who got blamed?
