[QUOTE="cow pollinater, post: 1149511, member: 14661"] Greg, it depends on the dog in my experience. If they want to work really bad and have a lot of desire to please you then you can make some okay dogs that way. As far as changing commands, my cousin is a working cowboy and his wife does dog trials and trains all of the dogs and he takes them when they're ready for real ranch work. He complained to her about the dogs pausing and not taking direction well and she asked him to show her... It turns out that they were using "come" and "away" differently and the dogs were learning on their own that the commands were switched. :lol: The dog that I have from them I just tell to "come" and he goes whichever direction he thinks is best. He has a list of commands that he knows but I only know, come, walk up, and G!@-D@#$%! and he does just fine with those. [/QUOTE]
