I am glad to hear that you had more success then I. Thank you for putting together what I hear was an informative weekend. It is people like you that make the sport I love possible.
Vince,
I read about your disastrous w/e. I'm relieved that you and your dog are ok. You must be really disappointed. Wish you could have been here w/us, it was a wonderful event. I was especially amazed at what Anne could get from my *locked in defense* male who has gone thru a number of helpers over the yrs (you know it's bad when they get to the point of making faces and groaning when you mention getting him out of the car). Anne had him bouncing around in prey. Also, I hadn't planned on doing Sch w/my Mink g.d. I'd only in the last wk or so tried waving a rag at her, she has good ball drive, but never showed much interest in the tug. Of course, Anne had her turned into a maniac for the tug.
Her tracking help was invaluable also, we started my pup (from Anne) and I learned alot of things I've been doing all this time that has made tracking lots harder than it had to be.
She really shines in the helper work, however, she gives each dog 300% and is so creative, you just had to see it to believe it.
Richard,
Anne trains at her own club in LA, definitely worth the drive <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> http://www.adlerstein.com for info on her club.
Yeah, it was something. He started out in his usual mode: *Uh oh, this looks like Sch, prepare to fight to the death*. By the time Anne was done w/him, he threw her a couple play bows*.
We had 2 of your fellow Arizonians join us. Next time, carpool <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
I think if your a novice that doesn't "get" tracking - you should do an Anne Kent seminar. I liked how she explained that even though I completely screwed up the track I layed ... I understand it and hopefully it'll get better.
Zak is a good dog but its going to be my handling errors that hold him back....I'm definately going to try and get to any local seminar (budget permiting) and keep getting more practice for me.
I also liked all the other attendees ... very encouraging. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> There are some great sport people out there!
Normally I'd advise you *not* to bring a dog the first time you attend anyone's seminar. Not all seminar givers are all they are hyped up to be. It's generally best to attend w/out a dog until you've seen that person work some dogs and you feel comfortable. In this case, I know Anne personally and was completely confident that she would do a great job w/the dogs, regardless of experience level.
Just FYI in future seminars.
