My Grandad once said that he couldn't guarantee that every animal he owned would do exactly what he wanted it to do. But he did guarantee that his animals wouldn't do anything he didn't want them to do.
I guess that is it in a nutshell.
Train your dogs and horses and whatever to be obedient, so that you can give them simple commands and they do not hesitate to obey you. You and your pets will both be a lot happier.
If, at times, they slack up a little, just re-apply the hickory to their skull and they will gladly remember what they were supposed to do.
I have had enough success at training animals that sometimes I think maybe I missed my calling in life. I'll bet that I could have had a fine career as a large animal trainer. Like the guys at the circus that make elephants stand on one foot and whistle Dixie through their trunk.
