I have a new chair for my cottage from the IAR painted chair auction. It joins two other chairs on my porch. I’ve supported Independent Animal Rescue with training and behavior services for over 25 years. They are a great rescue. The auction is over, but you can still donate on their website.,

What an honour to be at the Best of Chapel Hill party last night. My students voted for positive force free training. I’ve spent my whole career making training a partnership with our dogs. Not something we do to our dogs. My students agree with me. Thankyou to everyone who voted for me and for humane training for their dogs.

When you are a very good dog, and laying quietly under the restaurant table and a stupid person (my mum) spills her salsa over me. I didn’t see this category when I took my Canine Good Citizen test.

I went to work with Chewy and his family yesterday. The little kids in the family were horribly disappointed when I turned up. They had been told “Chewy’s dog teacher is coming” and they thought that would be another dog! Instead they got boring me. 🤣🤣 we had fun anyway!
