I'm Virginia and I'm studying dog obedience trainer. I agree that we need more dog obedience students to talk to. I think we can help each other out.
so far the only thing I see that I'm have trouble with is pronouncing the words and remembering the charts. I think if I get poster boards and use them as the charts then I can use them when ever I need them without remembering everything on the chart. (something easy to find ) if anyone has any other tips on how you study the charts please let me know.
