Is Susan Just a Freak of Nature?

Read moreRevelations After Our Say Yes “Holiday”
So last week a few of my students got together here for a Say Yes “holiday.” I have to quote “holiday” since for many of you, it wouldn’t be your idea of a “holiday.” We had my favourite Scottish born fitness guru come to kick our butts with twice a day workouts (including our cardio [...]

Today kicks off the first day of the AAC Nationals. John and I did some sightseeing yesterday with John and Lynda Hill and all our dogs (well, the ones that we have out here in Calgary). It was a wonderful day in the Rockies as these pictures will prove. Recallers, you all should be able [...]

This is the final instalment of the interview I did in 1998. I hope it has been as much fun for you looking back as it was for me! Question 11. What are your training/teaching/judging involvements in Agility now? i.e. how often do you train your own dogs, how often do you teach classes and [...]
