Karen was pretty unique!
We did not know “clicker” training but used similar methods with snapping fingers and touching head & ears. Love bits.
Both systems work. 💕🐾

Summer brings long days of sunshine and outdoor adventure and for many dogs, that means backyard play, long hikes, training sessions, or athletic competitions. But with rising temperatures comes a real danger: heat injury. Just as you might crave air conditioning and ice water after time outside, yo...

This is one of the most important mantras i tell my clients when training them to train their dogs. So important and this is the first time i have heard it from someone else online. Guess us guys who have been around a while know a little bit.

In 2014, April 29, the rain started here in Fairhope & Daphne. Rained all day and into the night. I thought surely it had to flood worse than i was seeing. I did not want to be an alarmist. I finally made the decision to go start knocking on doors and warning neighbors. Some thought i was crazy. I paddled across the river to my cousin’s house where a friend was staying. She was an artist and I knew she would not fair well if what I thought had to happen actually happened. She listened to me and decided i should take her pets first which i did. The plan was for me to come back and get her, about 30 minutes timewise. When i got back i almost could not get her out of the house. A wall of water had just silently moved down the river. She almost drowned. I almost did not get us back. I ended up getting getting her back to high ground where my wife and Dad could help her and her pets. I went back out and rescued more people. People on roof tops. I had to take my axe to get through one roof to rescue a lady. These people still thank me today. None of us had any idea Fish River could get like that. We were truly scared and fearful of not only our lives but others as well.
So today Texas has been on my mind.
Yes, it used to a work day but my mind has drifted because i know what happened in Texas, exactly …
Many Prayers for God’s grace and love.
May those who survive the devastation be comforted by God in the aftermath.
You just never know.
