Running Contacts à la Trkman: My thoughts
Since I spoke about running contacts in my 2012 wrap-up post, I thought I would take some time to share what we did in more detail. I had been toying with teaching a modified four on the floor before our training was interrupted in 2009. What I had been trying to work towards was aContinue reading “Running Contacts à la Trkman: My thoughts”
Looking ahead at dog related goals for 2013

Thoughts on Tracking for 2012
Spring sprung many weeks ago here in Manitoba and it’s high time to start thinking about preparing for the fall tracking tests.
