Up Coming Seminars

Boy am I excited. The month of December I'll be attending two seminars. The first one is Bridget Carlson. She is a top obedience competitor who has competed at the AKC Nationals and at Crufts with a traditional breed and a nontraditional breed. She strives to train her dogs for enthusiasm, animation, and precision. Her website shows videos of several breeds being successful. The Newfie blows me away.

The following weekend I'll attend Linda Koutsky's seminar in New Jersey. Her training has been influenced by Sylvia Bishop. She has a border collie named Tilt that comes from the Hob Knob kennel. It will be interesting to see what she does for a small brachycelphalic breed, a pug.

This past weekend I took the pugs to a show-n-go in Red Lion, PA. It was a blast. Jasper's tail was up, he was confident, and thoroughly enjoying himself. Little Sidney cracks me up. He has such drive. He's just so darn fast. I love the speed of his recalls, retrieves, and jumps. His heeling is so flashy. He has great extention of his legs. When heeling, I feel like I'm driving a Porche.

Jesse I wish I had your knowledge and expertise. Sidney could really be a star in agility too.
