Acknowledgements
While I have learned from many dog trainers over the years, a few stand out. Thanks to Glen Johnson, who early in the 80s taught me about inducive training. And also to Bill Dotson, who introduced us to Schutzhund and Search & Rescue.
Thanks Tracey Louper for letting me help teach classes, and being my friend and sounding board for new dog training ideas.
Special thanks to friend and mentor Michael Ellis. Michael is a gifted dog trainer and teacher, and almost everything I use and teach these days comes from Michael.
And thanks to Ivan Balabanov, who started our club, Big Sky Schutzhund Club, on the way to becoming thinking dog trainers.

Hello world!
Welcome to the K9FUN blog, where we will discuss dog training and learning theory, agility trials and obedience trials, Schutzhund and Mondio ring.
We will also discuss topics from K9FUNdamental‘s dog training classes, and outlines and handouts will be provided for students and visitors to reference.
If you find something to be helpful, please let me know. And if you disagree with something, let me know that as well. We’re all here to learn!
We will also review toys, equipment and other “dog stuff” found in the K9FUN store — does your dog like it? Is it durable and well-made? Did it only last three minutes and you wish you’d never bought it?
I would love pictures and personal accounts of your dog at play with a toy you bought through K9FUN.
Thanks for visiting, and I hope to see you again,
