Service Dog Training Logbook Terry Barnes

Service Dog Training LogbookIt's so easy to lose heart when there is one setback in your dog's behaviour. It's easy to become tired and discouraged. But it is so important to stop and compare and identify progress and trends. This logbook is the perfect companion for you and your dogs, to track, compare and measure, to ensure you are heading towards your goals. Training your service dog and knowing its progression is all about perspective and this can be so elusive. We gain it, then lose it, and we shift our view and our values with the frequency and ease of a flock of startled sheep!We owe it to ourselves and to our dogs to see and tack any and all improvements and to keep a forward momentum. To measure and understand where our progress is stunted and try to make changes. To keep our perspective and keep ourselves honest. Those of us who are trainers owe it to our clients to record and point out these things and to help them start seeing them for themselves.
