What I’ve learned about dog training from Jacques Pepin
For me it is all the same. We do different things at different times, but it is all part of the greater whole in my opinion.

My dog is bored … said the stalled person
The scenario is almost always the same. A Team is working nicely together, the Handler is building good timing skills, the dog is learning how to work with a person, and then I see them standing, just standing.

here there be dragons …
Before we made the earth round, when the earth was still flat, and you could fall off the edge if you weren’t careful, cartographers put dragons at the edge of maps to represent the unknown territories, ‘here there be dragons’, or ‘HIC SVNT DRACONES’.

Fearful Dogs – seeing the world in detail
