Un dimanche plein de neige

• "Before you can properly train your first sheepdog, you should have some knowledge of the way their minds work and be prepared to take the blame for nearly everything that goes wrong because it will, in all probability, be your fault.

• If you think carefully about your dog's behaviour, you can normally find a way to correct faults. It'll take time and patience but it can be done. Trials winners are the trainers who are best at this  

• A good dog, which is strongly bonded with the handler, will do almost anything it possibly can for its handler. Its number one priority in life is to please. 

•  Quite frankly, if your dog's not doing what you want, it's because you're asking him to do things he's not ready to do or he doesn't understand what you want of him.

•  But don't think that buying the son of the number one sheepdog in the world will give you a winner, it's just a part of the story. The rest is up to the trainer and handler

• The most important attribute a dog trainer can have is Patience. The nest: Determination"
