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.

No Store, No Classes
Hi All,
I’m heading out of town in the morning. A long-time and very dear friend is on her death bed, and I need to go out and say my goodbyes… I won’t be back until the middle of February. As my students know, I lose my barn in February due to the Winter Fest at the Fairgrounds, so I usually try to do my travelling then anyways.
The good news is I also get to do five days of training with Michael Ellis. I’m bringing Zappa, the puppy, who came home with me from Michaels’ in February last year; Lexi, who most certainly is going to get titled in Schutzhund this year; and Dax, who actually looks like he might have woken up!
So, no classes, and no one will be home to mind the store. If you place any orders, please be aware that your order won’t ship until I can convince my husband to go out to the trailer, find the item, and then walk him through shipping procedures. Thanks in advance for your patience!
I’ll post picts etc. from my travels,
