I'm redoing my adolescent herding breed webinar. This one is especially for handlers whose big goals have gone sideways. I won't pretend to have all the answers. But I will promise an honest discussion of what you can expect during this challenging time in your dog's development. Bring you questions!

For those of you who assume that adolescence ends around 18 months, you should register twice. 😉

You set big goals but all that has gone sideways. Let's talk about it! Join me to learn what you can do.

I guess I'm stuck here now. Gotta love a good off switch.

special shout outs to j and n for mitigating my urge to self destruct with another herder

meme: two panels with Hide the Pain Harold. In the first, he is looking at his computer, with text overlaid implying he’s reading a post that says, “me: ‘i need my next dog to be an easy pet.’” Imagine he is me, typing a post.

In the second panel, he’s looking up from his computer, at the camera. He has a pained, forced-looking smile on his face. The text on the panel says, “herding dog breeders for some reason: ‘I have just the thing!’” Imagine he is me, reading a reply to the post.
