So I've been totally slacking in training my dog lately. (think along the lines of several months.... We got our B October 1st, and I've totally dropped the ball since then)
Anyhow, long story short, I started a blog to try and keep track of my training, what we're working on, and all that junk.
Check it out if you'd like. We can aways use an extra nudge to train more.

Slacking?!? People slack off on training?!?
I never do that....
(and if you believe that....)
That's why you get Border Collies. They go, go, go, work, work, work, but also chill when needed

I often suffer from "Best Laid Plans" syndrome when it comes to training my dogs, too. I feel a little less guilty knowing I'm not the only one.

I always slack in the winter. It is one reason I usually take obedience classes through the winter. I need that "accountability" to inspire me when there are only 10 hours of daylight and I am at work for 8 of those hours, plus travel time! :P Even the dogs think the couch is a good place to be lately

Didn't think I'd hear that from you Kelly, but sounds like there's a bunch more slackers than just you so don't feel bad.

Some owner instillation may be required for the chill switch.
