Now that I have "recovered" from our Michael Ellis seminar the last weekend in July I wanted to jot down some of the things that stick out in my mind... Many of these are not dog related, so bear with me... Any of you participants, feel free to add your thoughts!
" Holy $h!t, it's a stump!!!!" Michael Ellis describing Malinois and their reaction to "sudden environmental contrast"
Eric Read, John Miller and Michelle McAtee and their jump/dive competition  This needed to be filmed, but alas....
"YEE HAW" Donna Matey (the cranberry queen)at the dinner Friday night 
Ed BREAKING a full glass of red wine WITHOUT tipping the glass over or spilling a drop, WOW! Unfortunately, the next glass moments later spilled in his lap. LOL
Roni's encounter with the bidet (yes, Leerburg has a bidet) ..... you guys just need to ask her about it. No Roni, that's not the flush handle!!
Michael and Will Rambeau singing tunes from Monty Python's Flying Circus, my sides are still sore from laughing.
I had quite a few moments with Debbie High, many of which are not suitable for posting on a public forum. That Debbie is something else!! "let your freak flag fly! "
I know there were lots more memorable moments but these were my favorites.
Thanks again to everyone who made the weekend a success, I can't wait for the next one.

Oh my gosh! I had so much fun, it was worth the long drive! Ed, Cindy and the Leerburg staff sure know how to organize a seminar and the hospitality was above and beyond the call of duty.
I cannot say enough good things about Michael Ellis. Not only is he a fabulous dog trainer. He is a really nice guy. He gave each team his all regardless of the venue. His training and teaching tecniques are very concise and logical.
I have to tell this......Will Rambeau likes umbrella drinks and since I didn't actually see Ed break the wine glass it looked more like he chewed the rim of it off to me.
It was so great to meet so many nice folks. I love being able to put a face with the names I see on the forum. What a great group.
Oh, and I just know that Cameron is gonna be famous one day!
Moments......too many to count!
Best regards,
Debbie

Michael's great sense of humor and balanced ego is one of the things that sets the tone to make training fun and productive!
I loved it when he put his cup on and made the proper adjustments with at least half of us women staring at him....didn't even phase him. I loved it!

Speaking of donning the bite suit, I think the search for a 'loaner' cup has to be right up there as one of 'those moments', doesn't it? I can't remember which of the women it was who ran up to the tent saying she had a cup (as in glass, dixie cup, etc....) he could borrow. :-)
One phrase I'll always remember from the training, is "Pay the dog!". (I think Koby's going to be awfully fat next time you all see him!)
