In today's episode, we have one question regarding getting a dog to hold a bumper without dropping, even on a retrieve.  Following that is a discussion of ways to document your training efforts, organize your thoughts, your daily objective, your activities and your conclusions about your training program.  Often, committing plans, activities and outcomes to writing makes them far more useful, easier to stick to and helps you hold to a program that works for you and your dog.  Even if you're not a 'journaler', you may be surprised how useful documenting your ideas and progress can be.
