I am being asked why I do not post all of the pictures of my training for everyone to see. I will tell you why. My words are showing up more and more on other sites that sell dogs and in magazine articles. In many places my obstacles have been copied as well. I suppose this is the greatest form of flattery.For years I have trained for real life application. I test and retest my methods under all conditions using the different breeds of dogs I breed and use different handlers. Everyday things that people say are impossible are being done here. One must know what they are doing before they begin. By copying my obstacle course and trying out things with the dogs that people see on the page people can ruin a dog. Exercises should not be attempted unless you understand its application and you read and communicate very well with your dog. We live in a world of lowered standards and expectations. Our children, our grandchildren, our dogs our lives are often lived accepting the theory of those too weak or too lazy to put it to practical application. Masters and keepers of the Working Breeds should never give way to the world of sport training. That is why I will not post all of the pictures of the diffent types of training we do here.
