Running the "baby" dog
Well Feature and I had a chance to get to know each other better as a dog and handler team while we were in Florida. First of all, we worked together at camp for three days and then we had two weekends of trialing. I [...]
Heading Home
Well all good things must come to an end and so we must leave the sunny south and head back home. We had a great time in Florida, topped off with one of my favorite trials of the year the "Dog-Gone-it!" trial in Orlando. I [...]
And the Winner Is:
Thank you all for the wonderful posts you have written in response to my question from two weeks ago. I can tell many of you put a great deal of thought into your answer, I have enjoyed reading them all. The last night of camp [...]

An Unexpected Weekend Off
Well my seminar in Omaha, Nebraska had to be canceled this weekend. That is a first for me. I stared doing seminars in 1995, I don't know how many I have done, I stopped counting at 300. In all those years, and all those workshops, [...]
Overcoming Perceived "Baggage"
My current educators out on our morning walk: DeCaff, Buzzy (looking handsome as ever), Feature & Encore. None of my dogs are rescue dogs. Even DeCaff, my Jack Russell Terrier mix, whose grandmother is a border collie, is not a rescue dog, but [...]
