We just wrapped up four days of puppy and young dog training. It started with our two day Advances in Dog Training (AiDT) and then rolled right into Critical Elements (the camp formerly known as puppy camp:)). As of January 2010 we now been honouring [...]
Well we have launched! Two weekends ago we unrolled the first "Flatwork Secrets" & "Blueprint for Handling Success." This past weekend it was "Advances in Dog Training" and "Critical Elements." I like the way things piece together and although it always seems I have more [...]
Another puppy camp has been put to bed. What fun! It was all I thought it would be and more. Fun puppies and great students, I mean they really embraced the program. More energy by the last day on Sunday, then even the first day [...]
Today is first day of another puppy camp. I am extra excited since 19 of the 24 puppies are less than 6 month old. Little sponges at this age, really. It is amazing how much faster you can teach key dog training concepts when there [...]

My dog are country folk. While at home, life is pretty quiet. We walk on our own 28 acres so do not meet up with new dogs. There are few children that come to visit and those that do, are very well behaved. Almost all [...]
Take a moment to watch this awesome video, it is really revealing. I love it. I especially like what Danica Patrick has to say. "You're driving your car and you feel freightened a little bit. We bump up against that feeling as much as we [...]
Whoops! It seems all my honesty about people's varied reactions at my seminars has some people in Vancouver a little nervous about working with me. I have gotten a couple stressed out emails from people worrying that I am going to be too hard on [...]
