Sylvia Trkman of Slovenia is the most brilliant dog trainer I’ve ever seen. Mary Ray is superb, probably the best trainer England has produced, but Sylvia is in a class above. Her 10 golden rules are far more useful than unlimited numbers of “do this, do that” instructions from trainers who have become TV personalities or brands. I don’t know many of the other top trainers, but it wouldn’t surprise me if Sylvia was out there on her own, as Bobby Fischer was in chess.
