Don't ever leave the ring thinking ...

Guarantee a reliable retrieve

Having a dog that carries and retrieves objects for you will change your relationship with him. He is not simply a well behaved pet, but is of service to you! 

Use this systematic approach to teach your dog a reliable retrieve.

Using both positive and negative reinforcement, your dog will understand that retrieving is fun, but also required.

Utilize the Fix n' GO

The most difficult problems to solve are those that only occur in the ring. By modifying the techniques you use in training, and utilizing the Fix N Go, you can fix ring errors before they become a problem.

Wrong in the Ring contains information about every exercise, the common problems that occur and the strategies you can use to fix the error in the ring.
