I don't know why people get all panicky about the Koehler method of training. I got a copy of the Koehler method of dog training when I was 12 or 13. It's not for every dog, and it's not for every person, and it's not for every dog/handler team -- but a lot of Koehler's methods are OLD TIME strategies that gain very quick results when applied CONSISTANTLY and correctly in the right situations.
