		<description><![CDATA[Not Adapting to the Dog No two dogs are exactly the same. Like children, they all learn differently, have differing strengths and have that free-will thing that can leave you grinding your teeth in frustration. What worked like a charm on the last dog might not get through to your current dog, and that’s ok. <a href="http://www.sportdog.com/blog/2013/02/t10-mistakes-in-gun-dog-training-and-how-not-to-make-them-part-2/">Read the Rest...</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The best thing about the years that ourselves and our ProStaffers have spent training dogs is that we&#8217;ve made the mistakes. We preach the value of mistakes because you will learn from them even more than your successes, but there&#8217;s no reason you can&#8217;t learn from ours.
