The dog in training should be in good physical condition and should receive the necessary inoculations to safeguard her health. Before each training session:
Feed lightly
Exercise thoroughly
Give a small amount of water
Groom for comfort and appearances' sake
Having attended to your dog's needs, be serious, but not domineering, about the training. When making corrections, it is not so much WHAT you do as the WAY in which you do it.
