Getting a dog to get out there.

You have to start with a dog that has a chance. Once you have that, you still have to know what you are doing! Blood dont bay hogs. I can make ANY dog range the way i want them to if i have that pup from weening age, no whispering involved, anyone can do it. A capable dog in the hands of a trainer that dont know what he is doing is going to be WORTHLESS! Where a capable trainer can take a 'trash' dog and make a hogdog out of it. Bottom is another topic. but yeah, ill go out on a limb here and say that bottom is about 50% training as well, or more accurately - your actions around your dogs can effect their bottom. Like someone said earlier, dogs are not computers. Like kids, we do our best, but they are living breathing things with a brain and make choices.
