Beautiful tracking day at Quarry Lake; new dog Maisie was terrified at first, surrounded by all the other working dogs but adjusted quickly and will enjoy her new "job"

Tuesday evening tracking at Quarry Lake

Great video showing how important body language is between dogs; ignore the title of the video - that's the least significant part of it https://youtu.be/L5p70SQrE1E

Thoughts from an old veterinarian: Wanna stay healthy? It’s a sunny warm day in north Texas. Maybe it is where you are. Turn off your TV. Plug your hand-held indoctrination device into a charger in a remote location in your home. ...Continue reading

We are all feeling the effects of this ongoing Covid crisis; a large portion of the general population is completely or partially out of work and money is tight. For me personally it means that I can barely survive financially and that I have to let bills pile up for the time being. Having said that, I realize some, maybe most of you are in a similar situation. Therefore I will continue to hold my classes on a pay-what/when-you-can basis.... I see every class how important it is for both human and animal to have the mental break from boredom and excessive exposure to the negative news cycle. We will continue to respect the 6ft physical distance, eventhough I am convinced we're being duped on a scale never seen before - but that's a whole different discussion. So please keep coming out; for those of you who can afford it please pay for the classes so that I can make ends meet too but it's a no-questions-asked scenario. Feel free to pass this information on to friends and family who need a break. I'll send the classes for next week tomorrow. Frans
