Aprons are a blessed thing. Just putting one on can transform your mind set as a keeper of the home.
In my experience, depending on which collar we put on our dog, he will know what is expected of him. If we put on his training collar, he knows its time to learn. The same goes for our horse. When she has her show bridle put on, she knows it and she carries her head higher and there is a new spring in her step.
