Only one thing will make you a competent tailwheel pilot - experience! So get lots and lots of tailwheel time under your belt, flying in all sorts of winds into and out of all sorts of strips.

.if you do buy an aircraft or share intending to do tailwheel differences training on it, make sure it has dual brakes.
As Taybird said, the dH82a is VERY suited to this, but I would rather have one without brakes (unless operating on tarmac)

And even then, don't let down your guard for a second. The only time I've ever come close to ground-looping was after more than 2000 three-point landings!

Indeed. The only time I came close to ground looping was my first tailwheel landing in about 2 years following a period with a share in the 'land-o-matic' Yak52.
