OK thanks-should I treat when she sits in a heeling pattern? Correct her is she does not do the auto sit?

I hesitate to post because I don't want to re-start a discussion about ADT but I need some advice. I have joined an Obedience Club and Cindy has worked out the "Stay" command well. In my ignorance I thought -"this will be easy" and I moved onto the automatic sit instead of the stand. The thought of this as an easy task has disappeared! So how can I re-train to the automatic sit. Please use the KISS method in your replies (Keep It Short 'n Simple) as this owner is a novice! Thanks heaps Sue and Cindy

this may be a daft question but how do you build drive? Sue & Cindy

I am sorry that you experienced ADT in this way. I trained my dog there for 2.5 years. My daughter trained her dog there and my son was training there. None of us saw any cruelty. I never came across any ignorant trainers. If we ever had a question during the week they were a phone call away. One or two trainers may be more difficult to relate to but that is true in any situation. Those trainers became our friends as did class members. We never got to thank them or say good bye. We have no way of contacting people. There are always going to be people who relate better to one method of training or company better than others. I think to call them an embarrassment and a disgrace is far from the truth. Not so sure about the management.
