Congrats bud! You deserve it.

Congrats bud!!

Chris,
I do let the pups drag the wonder lead. If the knot bothers you there is a 12 foot version that might be more to your liking. I had started using the wonder lead before I met Charlie, but...

I just did an e-clinic on waterdogtv.com last night called "It's a Wonder Lead Life." It is the only lead we use for obedience!!
Happy Training,
Stephen

Drake's right Amy. I am about an hour away from Dublin. You are welcome to come train anytime.

I have a pup from Dude's first litter. I wanted to see if he was going to put himself into his pups, and I have been very pleased with this 25 month old that is now at the master level of training...

EZ lead and wonder lead are the same, however my initial application of pressure on obedience is through low level consistent lead pressure on sit and heel command rather than short tugs....

Sharon,
I am glad to see someone else who uses the well-known but seldom used EZ lead. I do all my obedience work with this lead and believe it also allows for a good transition from lead to...

I'm excited about the seminar. It ought to be a load of fun.

Clark,
Give me a call when you have time.

Congrats Buddy!!!

I ran two SRS events this year and no real birds were used at all. I am almost certain that you won't see any real birds used on any events this year. Of course I would rather use real birds, but...

If you want to get specific, it's in the great metropolis of COBBTOWN, GA., but if you want to stay there, you'll have two pick one of the two gas station parkinglots :).

Wow guys, sounds like I missed out on all the fun. The Elliotts are great folks with a great place--hope I get to join in on the fun next time. Ya'll wouldn't mind an ole Georgia country boy...

Shoot him and lets count!!!!

No dog runs straight lines all the time. Control is the key and it sounds like you are well on your way.

As Howard said the second set of overs adds to the complexity of the drill. Remember that distance erodes control. The second set of overs gives the dog a chance to sharpen his whistle sit and...

Mark,
I understand what you mean about your heart being in the HRC. If it were me though, I would talk to those who run and are consistently successful at these events (and judges if you can get...

I'll be there! Can't wait to make the 22 hour drive!

Wait a minute!!! That test was at MY place. I PROMISE you would not have left with a dry stich on your body. We do the dunking right down here. As a matter of fact, why don't you back down one...

I only know Barry through the HRC GRAND, so I cannot vouch for his training methods. However, I think he holds the record for most Grand passes (somewhere around 160). Proof is in the pudding--he is...

What are your goals for your pup?
