It's all about gentle psychological manipulation, it's a lot like getting a girlfriend to try anal.

I FF'd my dog with zero experience and zero help. The book I used specifically said to read your dog, if they begin to show signs of shutting down to stop and try again the next day. It really isn't that hard and the benefits I've seen come from this have made every painful moment during that time worth it.

Exactly the same as me. I was scared but had faith in the hunters before me that had done it and the program.

Those who farm it out without going along to learn the process have to send Pup back to school and hope he doesn't decide to forget again as soon as Teach is out of the picture.
