Dear Mike, Josh, and Emmy,
We wanted to send our sincere appreciation for the effort you all put fou rth in offering us such a rewarding experience while attending your school
Your school has changed the way we work with our dog, look at our mission ,and our daily training and lives.
We have begun to add stress to our daily training and see much improved results from Morgan.
On the morning I returned to work many stated they could see a changed K-9 before we could even open our mouths.
Your school was like no other as well.
It had a personal side to it all with the warmth of a family on a farm setting in which we had the honor t o share in meals and rest in the home. It is a warm feeling that this handler shall never forget. Our trip back to ground zero was difficult for me to say the least.
The sights may have changed but the memories of what I remember were still ve ry fresh and at some points when walking around the area I could smell the faint scent of those horrid smells that linger within my head.
We decide d to stop in Washington on the way as well and again the memories of stoppi ng there on the way from Ground Zero lingered.
The whole trip ended on a ti me of remembrance for me.
The K-9 training was excellent but another factor I found very rewarding was having the opportunity to be able to sit and listen to someone with such wordily wisdom and sense. The lectures and stories you told for us to us e in our work and daily lives continue to touch us even after we departed.
Just yesterday your comments about aging, doing things, enjoying life and being involved set in as I returned from a long day at work. I kept hea ing your lecture and upon returning home as well we jumped on the motorcycles to just get away and enjoy some of life.
Thank you for the many lessons, many of which I am sure I still have yet to realize that I have learned and apply in life.
In just five days you put out so much, yet I realize that I have still much to learn, but I appreci ate the opportunity to have been able to spend five days of life with you learning, enjoying, and being part of something.
I look forward to our continued friendship and wish you the best of everything.
God Bless you, your family, Canada and America.
Awaiting the next mission,

Mike,
Just a brief note of thanks as I delve back into the workplace. _________ has been sick the last two days but I'm sure this shall pass quickly. I am going over the very basic commands prior to any attempts @ accelerant detection training. A number of people have asked about the past week @ Baden, and my response has been that I found it stressful, difficult, informative and completely enjoyable. My goal is to embark on the accelerant detection training in the upcoming weeks and returning to you folks this fall.
Thank you again, to you and yours, for opening a vista of doors in the canine informational highway. I hope that I can do you< justice with a working team as a finished product.

Thanks for a great time at bootcamp.
I had high expectations but it exceeded all my expectations.The first week with the scent work was particularly fascinating. I loved it. I now see some of the things I was doing wrong with him and its changed everything.
At the airport last night he was a different dog - it was crowded and very noisy but after I told him it was okay he settled down. It was wonderful. I appreciate it very much.
I met a lot of nice people (and nice dogs) and I can't wait to go back for more training - I'm saving money.
Thanks again and take care,
