Well I look at her and see confident sat bolt upright little dog I think Good, sheepish look laying down I think Bad

thanks for your im put. I saw your original post last night and checked my board sizes to the DVD and they are the same as suggested on the dvd. In fact one is slightly smaller due to some dodgy carpentry on my part.

He does also say that you shouldnt leave a problem like the laying down alone.

Sorry, thought you meant like a fashion thing.

Naj, if you had met me and seen my clothes you would know I am not motivated by vanitiy

Canthill has a good suggestion. If you are on Facebook 'like' G and D Kennels (Gary Breitbarths kennel) and send a 'friend request' to Gary Breitbarth, he posts videos using different size boards for different aspects of place board training. For those who don't know, Gary is the one that Ian Openshaw learned place board training from.

Very true! Changing the lessons along with different size boards can really help perk up your pup. GB was the trainer that got Opie going on the boards.
