And an excellent quote by Susan Garrett - one of the top people, in the world, in the sport of dog agility:

"...Does this mean that everyone that owns a dog is responsible for turning it into a world champion?  Of course not, but you do owe it to your dog to stop making excuses, labeling faults, or looking at your dog like he is less than the dog on the end of someone else's leash.   Regardless of how talented he is or he isn't, he is only a product of what you have known about dog training up to this point in your life and that is okay!  They don't all have to be the best.  However, if you want more, then seek out the trainer that can guide your path in a new direction.  Don't listen to anyone that tells you it is not possible, doing so is allowing someone else's limited vision to become yours.  There are answers out there for all of us. Finding these answers may be the reason why this dog is in your life in the first place."
