Hi Paul, I have trained with Nick and I think he is great but if you have seen post titled "Humiliation" you will see that he thought we should concentrate on agility
Nick's intermediate class was a big step up for us and too difficult.
I am going to Adrian Slater now as his classes are very structured and better for a total novice like me.
He wasn't the person who suggested the choke chain, that was someone who was "helping" out.
You are right about the old school trainers round here, the reason we have problems is because we went to the wrong ones when we started.
Am following Jeff D advice and retrieving is improving
