Watch while I train two dogs to act like cute idiots with each other.
You don’t know if you don’t watch.

Vote for this handsome beast! He deserves the very best! What a looker!

He’s your biggest fan and your quiet "muscle" when you need it. He’s a FIXER. Everyone’s favorite OUTLAW cow-dog. Roadie at the rodeo!

CATTLE DOG just saying. My apocalypse dog.

Cattle dog saves woman by keeping her warm until she is rescued
Link in comments.
The woman had last been seen walking with her blue heeler cattle dog named Cami, who was known to stay with Davis in case she had a fall.

This Is my ONE TIME ( at band camp thing)
Should I keep going?
I mean I could fill a book, but the ADHD makes it more likely I can fill a cassette or a VHS TAPE.

How Did we Get Here, Fido?

I’ve always LOVED dogs! Wait! that’s actually NOT how it happened. In fact, I was a “cat person” through my teens-and then my dad brought a dog home and luckily it didn’t eat my cat. It was a Siberian Husky, and while that didn’t CAUSE a giant transformation- it did start it. Most dog trainers started their working careers in an alternative field, and then SOMEHOW we got HERE. I was an ARTIST in the early 1990s. I had numerous gallery shows and sold my photography and later handmade jewelry. However, it just wasn’t DYNAMIC enough for me. Plus, I had moved away from home and missed my family dog [by this time my family had a rescue BORDER COLLIE mix-and I LOVED that BEAST immeasurably.] So, I had started looking for work/ volunteer work with animals... and fast forward a bit more... here we are.

For the moment, and into the future, we are working to offer our clients safe and effective virtual solutions to your dog training questions and coach you and your dog in the safety and comfort of your home, and at convenient times for you and your family.
