I really like the Milner methods and Bill Hillman's stuff......low pressure, high praise......
My OPINION only is..........we have breed our dogs, Labs and such to be "trainable" meaning take a lot of pressure or wash out........that being said we leave the natural instincts behind.........
Good trainers can train dogs to a high lever when Trainable, however a dog with tons of natural instinct can be trained to an acceptable level for the average Joe.....
Will they make 300 yard, blind retrieves in a straight line?
Likely not.
But Quaid will hunt a cripple until his eyes bleed, literally
