Kynology 4.0 Recap Part 2
This is the second of a few emails I'll be sending out as a recap of my recent week at The Michael Ellis School For Dog Trainers in Santa Rosa, CA, where I attended Kynology 4.0, a symposium on modern dog training. My brain is pretty full right now, so I'll be splitting this in to several emails, and then converting them to blog posts here at daisypeel.com.

Leaders write a story going forward, and the rest of us read a book that was written backwards.

The Trailblazer's courage lies in not knowing the ending. You do it going forward in the hope that it makes a positive difference.

This was a really enjoyable couple of hours spent talking to an amazing trainer, teacher, and competitor, Ivan Balabanov! Thanks, Ivan, for inviting me in to your space for this great conversation 🙏🏻🤩

Hello everyone,

This episode is with Daisy Peel. Daisy is an agility trainer and competitor and has been part of the U.S. World Team nine times.

In this podcast, we go deeper into the sport of agility and compare it with other dog sports. We talk about what it really means to select and train dogs for the world stage versus training a pet dog simply to provide an outlet and maintain a healthy, balanced mind.

We also touch on the cultural differences between sports. Unlike protection sports, agility is a community that is predominantly force-free and yes, we talk openly about that too.

Enjoy.

Perfection is an ideal to shoot for, not a reality
Here's something different from last weekend...a LOWlight reel. All the imperfections from last weekend that I managed to get on video. Why bother showing the good stuff, even? There's plenty of that out there already, contributing to the fantasy. Here's some reality.
