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.

Know your rights
Ever had a bad encounter with police? I have. And it can happen to anyone.
Do you know your rights when stopped by police? Flex Your Rights has released a DVD, also available free online, called 10 Rules for Dealing with Police. I’m making it required viewing for my teen-aged son who is just getting his drivers’ license, as it deals with vehicle stops as well as search and seizures. While I respect and admire our police who “protect and serve”, knowing your rights will help all involved, and make you more confident and better prepared to handle a police encounter.
