As we approach the one year anniversary of the release of my 2x2 Weave Training DVD I thought I would welcome any questions you may have that I have not yet answered. 2x2 Weave Training DVD celebrates it's 1 year anniversary this month. By [...]
Recently I had someone ask me if I thought it would be a problem to let his dog bark while he shaped behaviours. First of all, the barking could be a sign that your dog training skills need to be sharpened. Perhaps have an experienced [...]
I can no longer make the claim that I have never watched a Star Trek or Star Wars movie. This past weekend three of my brothers and wives (well only 2 brought their wives) came over for potluck and a movie. One of my sister [...]
