A place to learn a new language, the Koehler Method of Dog Training, which is an entire language of communication between owner(s) and their dog. Let the journey begin...
Yes. Remember, Sugar was my first obedience dog. Like you, I knew none of this and had to learn it, with Sugar. We both grew together as a team and partners as a result of the same learning process you and Riley are experiencing.
The results of this journey are YOU become a competent, confident KMODT handler that knows how to help your dog succeed in any situation. The results of this journey for Riley is she, literally, 'learns how to learn'.
This KMODT is a relationship journey. I became competent and later, quite skilled, at KMODT. Sugar became Master Sugar Bear, highly trained in obedience, more importantly, a dog beloved by humans and other dogs as well. Sugar became my 'right hand ', a GREAT dog.
We became a team with an oh so special relationship. THAT is what you get when you go through this entire KMODT process. And THAT is so worth what it takes to achieve.
Can I really have a Sugar some day
