I haven’t written on my weblog in lots of months.  What occurred?!

All is properly! I ended working day-to-day operations at FDSA, and that freed up time to do what I’m significantly captivated with – training.  Free training, for essentially the most half, as a result of I spend a really excessive share of my day on Social Media; Instagram, Fb and TikTok.  I attempt to submit instructional content material of assorted kinds; habits, canine sports activities competitors expertise, getting together with individuals, and so forth…just about every day. And since doing that is extraordinarily gratifying for me, it takes up various time. Which is okay – I’m joyful!

Therefore, my weblog has suffered neglect.  It’s simple for me to seize a fast clip out of a coaching session, clarify what I’m doing or why I do it a particular method, after which throw it up on IG or FB.  I may do random Stay occasions on the varied platforms to speak no matter random ideas are floating round in my head on the time.

With my weblog, I attempt tougher to jot down intelligently, proofread (okay, nonetheless not my energy), and arrange my ideas right into a extra complete bundle.  That takes simply sufficient effort that I’ve been neglecting it.  I promise I’m going to try to enhance!

So about canine and canine coaching.  Let’s catch up a bit.

I despatched Cube again to his breeder a number of months in the past.  As a lot as I attempted to make it work, his temperament was not acceptable for my scenario. I stay in a household with a number of different individuals and I’ve an lively family.  Whereas I used to be prepared to work together with his dog-reactive habits in public (which was enhancing!), I lastly got here to acknowledge that the general bundle – not simply his habits in public, was neither a protected nor satisfying match for my household.  Whereas administration is all the time an possibility, administration failure is the norm, not the exception, and I couldn’t settle for that danger.   As a result of his breeder felt that he could possibly be rehomed to a scenario the place his temperament wouldn’t be an issue, I agreed.  He’s at present in coaching for IGP and is doing properly within the sport.

At across the similar time, a good friend had a litter and had further puppies that had not been positioned but.  I supplied to foster a pet and provides it a canine sports activities basis.  That pet, Xen, is now eight months outdated.  I made a decision to maintain him and he’s now my canine.  And whereas he’s a somewhat typical strong-willed male from working strains, we’re discovering our method and hope to have a powerful and aggressive future when the time is correct. In a future weblog, I’ll discuss him a bit extra – how I characterize his temperament, and what meaning for his future as a canine sports activities prospect.

Lyra is now nearly 11 years of age and as charming and good-natured as ever.  Brito is 9 years outdated and is a typical terrier – hasn’t slowed down one iota.

Resulting from COVID I haven’t traveled in a few years, and actually, I don’t miss it.  Once I do resume journey, I believe it is going to be a particularly restricted affair.  I do miss seeing my associates across the nation although.

FDSA is within the means of getting a shiny new web site, which retains me busy on that finish.  Search for it across the finish of the 12 months. We’re additionally about to introduce our first “single day” conferences, so you’ll be able to study a complete lot about one factor – in a day!  The primary one is arising in Might, and the topic might be nosework.  Be taught extra right here:  FDSA Nosework Convention – On-line!

Anyway…that’s about it for now!  I hope to be again to writing right here no less than semi-regularly.   Right here’s a photograph of Child Xen, contemporary from his tub:
