Food for thought.

I am reading Suzanne Clothier's book called "If bones would fall from the sky" and she describes 3 types of trainers.

1) The Mechanical trainer - how to make the dog do what you want him to do

2) The motivational trainer - trying to figure out how to motivate the dog to want to do what you want it to do

3) The spiritual trainer - who try's to figure out how do we accomplish it together

I know with Mickey we were number 3 and with Maverick we were number 1. Having been really connected with a dog in my lifetime I hope that I can have that connection with Bug and that is my dream with her. To train and work to accomplish everything together.

So - Food for thought. Which one do you want to be and then when you really think about it which one are your really?
