BLOG

In this BLOG are writing about what I have learned in my journey with 4 very different Border Collies, KAFFEE, MYST, BECKETT and now DYLAN. It has been a journey of not only my experiences in dog training but also with encountered health issues that I felt were so important to share since often the information available to us is hard to find or specific to our needs. My medical background has kept me focused on research and science-based approachs.

If you have any questions I am happy to respond by emailing Cynde at [email protected]

The Puppy Grows Up

It has been a long time, over 6 months, since we posted about our journey in another blog. Perhaps some of the reason is that Susan Garrett asked that we not share our work and videos  online or on blogs… That pretty put a stop to my posting since in the early spring  2012 I took Susan’s online shaping class and then her contact class which just finished in August 2012.  

Now that I have started this new website, mainly to share the work and what we have learned about body awareness, building core strength, and priopriception the blog postings will resume. Now that we have competed in our first AKC agility trial I feel like all the work we did for the past 2 years has helped.
