“If you keep trying to war with the environment, either you or your puppy is going to lose. There will always be something novel in the environment that will engage your puppy's natural curiosity or appeal to his animal nature; that is when you will lose the war. Sometimes people control everything and put their puppy under severe restrictions so that he never gets a chance to experience anything but interaction with his handler as being rewarding. That, in my opinion, is when the puppy loses.”
Leslie McDevitt, Control Unleashed: The Puppy Program

“That is the way I wish my dog to think of me: as a companion and pal, rather than as a terrible and uncertain-tempered god. When I whistle him in he must come promptly, not with his tail between his legs, and belly to earth, but joyously and eagerly, with his body doing an Oriental shimmy in sympathy with his vibrating tail.

It required three months of daily endeavor to accomplish this, for he was a shy pup, but I made it a rule to play with him every day, boisterous and breath-taking romps which lasted for a half hour or more. But invariably, before the completion of these periods, we paused for a few minutes of schooling: never anything drastic, but such simple things as holding a ball in his mouth, or any other thing which suggested itself at the moment. The idea was not to teach him an assortment of tricks, but rather to let him learn that good times and obedience went hang in hand.”
Burton L Spiller, DRUMMER IN THE WOODS. Twenty-One Wonderful Stories About Grouse Shooting
