Are you coachable?

We talk and look for good coaches to get better results in training. Sometimes it is good to think, what are those qualities what makes someone to be very coachable, because those are essential for good results.

I’m listing some of those qualities here what makes dog handlers easy to coach and get results.

1. Hard worker.

In our sport you need to work hard to get good results. Coach’s job is NOT to try to motivate the handler to work harder. When a handler works too much, coach’s job is to give the direction where the work needs to be done. Sometimes this means analyzing your training, focusing your dog’s physical abilities or go to learn something new.

2. Open mind.

Keeping yourself always available for new information and educating yourself.

3. Analyzing your training sessions.

Remembering what happened in previous sessions and making notes of needed. Taking responsibility of your own learning progress.

Your coach should remember your sessions as well but you need to remember even better. Personally I’m helping and coaching numerous handlers and it is part of my job to remember all those dogs even after longer break. Handler needs to remember their own training sessions.

4. Commitment for the team work.

Not only focusing yourself, help others when you have a chance. Team work makes successful dog-handler-teams and you give opportunity to learn something new by helping others.

5. Love your dog first.

Make sure that the training style is fit for you and your dog. You are your dogs advocate and the training needs to make sense for you and your dog.

Let’s train!
