Could I please get some opinions on the Evan Graham SmartFetch program? Unless somebody or something compels me not to, I'm going to start this with my puppy this spring.

Let me be VERY clear I am NOT a pro. I have some experiance, and some very skilled friends. I don't want to give any false impression.
Smart works is real good. I prefer Lardys TRT, but I am biased. (they are real similar). Prbably one of the most compelling reason to use Graham's program is his avalabity. He very regulay responds to questions on RTF, the Refugee, or by email. His methods use somewhat more force than I like, but I do tend towards attrition.
Take a look at Hillmans newest puppy stuff. People seem to be having great success starting with Hillmans and transitioning to a Carr based program like Smart Works or TRT.
 
I think Evan's program is more user friendly, especially for first timers...also, he has several videos on line...take each step one at a time...don't be in a hurry!! I usually have found two 5 minute sessions a day work well.
 
Thanks much, folks. I'll go with it.
