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.

Live To Run Again
Live To Run Again Launches new website
Nine years ago this week, on April 1, 2001, Jane Callaghy died when the driver of her vehicle fell asleep at the wheel. After her death, a public education campaign called Live to Run Again (LTRA) was founded to raise awareness about the consequences and prevention of drowsy driving. LTRA has been active in the dog agility community and beyond. The LTRA Board of Directors is very pleased to announce the launch of the redesigned and expanded LTRA web site. This attractive and informative new web site will play a key role in our public education. Please take a look!
Expanded features include:
Our goal:
Our #1 goal is to help you find ways to keep yourself, your family and friends, and your pets safe on the road. Win, place, or show . . . none of it will be possible if you don’t ARRIVE ALIVE!
