What is the best sequence to train using the Michael Ellis DVDs?

Full Question:
Dear Mr. Frawley,



I?ve been studying the DVDs you?ve made with Mr. Ellis, I?m missing the two last one?s that I?ll be ordering by the end of this month, but I?m a bit stuck.



Can you direct me to a training schedule, or better said a training sequence, to work with the dogs from scratch? I know that there cannot be a rigid sequence and that all must be adapted to the animal itself, but thinking about a perfect world what would it be the best sequence to train a dog.



I train my dogs in obedience and for the RCI sport.



Thank you very much and very best regards,
Eduardo

Cindy Cindy's Answer:
The training sequence should loosely follow the order of the Michael Ellis videos. You can (of course) train heeling, retrieve, jumping and send aways simultaneously.



Before beginning any of that the dog must have a clear understanding of the foundation work, which is covered in the food and tug DVDs.



* The Power of Training Dogs with Food
* The Power of Playing Tug with your Dog
* Focused Heeling with Michael Ellis
* Training the Retrieve with Michael Ellis
* Training the Jumps with Michael Ellis
* Training the Send Away with Michael Ellis



I hope this helps.
