2×2 Q & A
Okay, workshop today and since it is contacts and WEAVES I thought I would quickly answer a couple of the 2x2 questions that you guys have posted. Q. First of all what about those 24" spaced poles? Now that the AKC and the USDAA have [...]
Sunday Afternoon’s Entertainment
For Buzz's entire life he has had the habit of sucking on stuffed animals and kneading like a kitten, while holding the toy in his front paws. I wrote about this peculiarity in my book "Shaping Success." When Feature was a wee baby she used [...]
What are YOU Seeking?

Tony Robbins at HALF Price

Aiming for Perfection?
Back with you after an amazing week spent with life strategist Anthony Robbins and his crew target at his Date with Destiny workshop. For me it was a blind date because I had no idea why I was going or what to expect. I spent thousands of dollars to be there and I turned down an opportunity to go the AKC Invitationals in order to participate in this workshop. I have no regrets, it was spectacular.
“Each of us is Somebody’s Weirdo”
My brother said that line to me on the phone the other night, "each of us is somebody's weirdo." I don't think it was his own quote, but I thought it worth of passing along. I laughed both at how profound it was and how true. After all, who amongst us really is normal (other than yours truly of course:))?
The Best Five Minutes of Your Day

Verbally Enthusiastic Workers
