"They will hold the sleeve in front of them the entire time, and the higher in front of them they hold the sleeve, the more "sport" type they are."
Why is that? 
"the first time you see them holding the sleeve in front and then slapping the sleeve to get the dogs attention on the sleeve"
Is that because they expect the dog to be sleeve happy, or they are trying to make that way?
There is so much that I still do not understand about the Sport training techniques.
I have to REALLY concentrate to watch a Trainer, I naturally want to watch the dog. The dog's reaction is how I must judge a Trainers abilities. Is the dog serious? Is this a boxing match or a knife fight ... to the dog?
Can everyone on the forum look at a dog and see if he is serious or not? Butch, please explain how one can do that. My flashing neon sign above his head explanation does not seem to help.
I have had people get in front of Bruce and look in his eyes before and after Diamondplate switches him on. That does seem to help them understand some.
