Hi All,
This starts with a sentence spoken in an after training discussion. "I am not going to run this pup in derby any more, the training I need to do to win a derby will hold this pup back in its progression to being an open winner." Do many feel that the natural progression of teaching is sometimes held up by some folk focusing on derby success instead of the dogs "big picture" of what it is ready to learn next? Would a dog that is learning and progressing nicely, but not good enough for a derby win, go on to greatness in all age stakes? Thank you all.
