I just wanted to say a very big thank you to Becky and Steve Rounds of Rittermark Kennels in beautiful Oklahoma. About seven weeks ago I asked if anybody near Ok City would be willing to keep my Erika while I attended a USPS technical school in Norman Ok. Even tho Becky and Steve were in the middle of moving into a new home and building new kennels and facility they said they would be more than happy too. But the goodness in their hearts doesn't stop their, they took care of Erika like she was one of their own super dogs. They even took Erika to the vet while I was in class for her OFA Xrays. They, including their dogs, treated me like family. Steve was most helpful in getting Erika to play well with others, heck, he was more then helpful, he “cured” her. A real Caesar Milan moment there. Except Steve, and I'm not exaggerating, knows a hellofalot more than C.M. about dog training and working dogs. He was most helpful in his advice to me about training dogs and handlers. I was very fortunate to watch him run his training sessions and if I ever manage to put a club together, I want mine to be run like like his. I really liked the way he stressed the importance and trained to proper socialization of working dogs. His own dogs, “Brago” Aus Der Rittermark and “Ivo” von den Grauen vom Monstab are the finest examples of what a working line German Shepherd is supposed to be. When in the home they are calm and affectionate, when in the yard, playful, when called to engage an aggressor, they are Demon Spawns of Satan. His girls are of the same calibre as well. I can not thank Becky and Steve enough for the care of my dog, the training advice I received and the hospitality they showed a stranger from across the country.

Sounds like an awsome, once-in-a-lifetime experience. What a unique gift these people are, to open their home and hearts to a 'stranger.' I am glad you had such a positive experince.
Wow Dennis, this sounds wonderful for BOTH you and Erika! I wish I could have witnessed it first hand but I definitely look forward to another play/work session with you guys. I'm very glad you had a great time and came back an even better trainer! Kudos to Becky and Steve!
