When should you settle for less in dog training?
The author of this blog post argues — often. Set goals for the behavior you want when you begin training. Be ready to settle for somewhat else than full achievement – that’s the argument presented in this blog post. I think the author is wrong. The other way of looking at this is to learn to accept and celebrate small successes on the way to the big goal. The blog fails to recognize that learning is a life-long journey. The implication here is that training is an event that begins and in this case – ends in less than hoped for behavior.
