When you embark on your training plan in a teaching and learning environment focused entirely and only on you and your dog, without the distractions of other people and other dogs, your team learning and performance curve rises exponentially. Without the stressors and frustration of trying to 'look' good long before you've learned 'how' to 'be' good, you can instead, devote all of your mental, emotional, and physical energy to learning how to achieve your behavioral and training objectives step-by-step, success by success, with your newly developed and increasingly competent and confident handling skills.
And utimately, instead of you and your dog being psychologically bowled over by the overwhelming stressors of a noisy boisterous group of people and their untrained dogs, you and your dog can bowl them over with your highly focused, confidently calm and reliable obedience no matter what the untrained rabble may be tossed your way.
