Gateway Outfitter’s Duck Dog Days was fantastic! A great time was had by all that attended. Hunter did well, even if he did have to retrieve on black top. The venison chilli was delicious. Avery donated bumpers, there were gun cases and carriers donated as door prizes. The Dawg Trainer raffled off 2 free private lessons and 2 free retriever group classes which were won by Randy and Brad. We look forward to seeing them in the near future.

I am a big believer in continued education. I just got back from That’s My Dog E-collarpalooza and E-cademy. What a wonderful trip.

E-collarpalooza was very exciting with a wonderful mix of speakers. Robin Moulds of Alpha House K-9s taught self defense.  Mary Mazzeri of Care Dog Training  spoke on communication between humans and dogs. Linn Boyke of Zen4K9s spoke on responsibility and his apprenticing with Cesar Millan, The Dawg Whisperer. Jt Clough of K9 Coachwas on hand to talk about marketing on the internet. I was there representing CPAC - Canine Political Action Corps. As always, Robin MacFarlane of That’s My Dog was a marvelous host.

I was able to stay for a week longer to attend  That’s My Dog E-cademy. I learned new training techniques and how to teach a few tricks. My time in WI was well spent.
