Reliability and the Retrieve: Justifying the Ear Pinch?
One more...
This one may be more controversial for some, but I thought the article was, overall, really good. Not just about the ear-pinch, but about training in general and definitely about performing. What I take from it is similar to "it's not the destination that counts, it's the journey". For all the time and all the money we spend with our dogs while training, the five minutes or so in the ring or at the line and the $35 entry fee, should not define our relationship with our dogs.
