Sheila,
Believe me, when I look over some of the thinkgs we now give words and legs
to within training, I feel as if I am starting all over too. It is all a new
way of looking at all of this, and I am not sure I am ready for it all next
time which will be my first time with a clicker-trained and food reinforced
dog.
Dianne and Primrose
