Tug Drive
Well Day 3 of Tweener camp yesterday was as awesome as Days 1 & 2. The highlights are numerous. One of the cool thing was the tug drive that has been created and maintained by students that have struggled with it in the past. I know Lynda has had private lessons with some of them to work [...]

Read moreMessage Deliveries & Getting the Most From a Coach
Over the course of my seminar presenting career I know I have helped a lot of dogs by sharing with their owners, the knowledge that I have gleaned from my mentors. However, there have also been those students that did not hear the message as I intended and, for whatever reason, suffered a bruised ego [...]
Read moreA New Project for Bob Bailey (like he needs another one:))
Most of you would be familiar with the name Bob Bailey. He is one of my mentors, a great guy and an amazing animal trainer. If there is a better training mind alive today, I don’t think I would know who that would be, he really is da bomb! The man is a scientist with [...]
