"There" is not to be used when you call the dog to you, when you want to pet it or check it.         This will take the stop right out of your dog fast. 2. When you call the dog to you have it sit, then you can pet it or touch it. 3. HELP your friend when it needs help -- after all you should be a team. 4. Commands in calm voice ( so when it screws up you can use a deeper voice & it will mean     something to the dog). 5. Watch your dogs tongue for signs of overheating/ exhaustion. Curling up on end. 6. Give time for response to get results. 7. Don't keep repeating the same command over & over while the dog is doing it. If you said Go     By and it is doing it then shut up & enjoy. 8. REMEMBER TO ENJOY YOUR PARNTER.
