I put this video together for all of you PuppyPeakers that have been asking what is upcoming and for the rest of you so you can see what I have been doing with Swagger. As we move through month two of the program you can [...]
I love to raise puppies. I love the lessons they share with us. Swagger decided this morning's activities would include a wee bit decorating and made me think if he could talk... he would say: "I can do recalls from anything, do amazing tricks, tug [...]
Recently I was doing some math. I was looking at all of the dogs I have trialled in agility since I decided to train without physical or verbal corrections (that was in 1994). There is; Buzz (born in 1996), DeCaff (born in 2000), Encore (born in [...]
