began a lifetime of service to the species, enabling people to increase their understanding of dogs and enjoy the special relationship that can be experienced with dogs. Collies live well together, each finding their own space. Over forty years of training people with dogs, over forty years of successfully competing in dog sports, over forty years of working dogs and over thirty litters of house reared puppies. This practical experience combined with a desire to explore outside the box has matured into a veritable encyclopaedia of dog stuff. I am also quite good at it! Now that I sit with my back leaning on this 40-year-ridge and look back over my gathered knowledge, experience and skills I have no doubt that dogs deserve every atom of effort, time and compromise that we can give them. The debt is on our side and needs rebalancing. I hope you will be able to add your coinage to the scales as well. Dogs learn so much from each other I have complete trust in dogs to try and find solutions, meet us over halfway and whatever you invest in your relationship will always come back wrapped in sunshine. Dogs are superb learners and even better teachers when we give ourselves the time and space to listen to them. The learning experience is part reading, some video and part experimenting, mixed with a lot of observing, healthy questioning and some evidence seeking. The learning is about gaining depth to your understanding, broadening your perceptions and enjoy time with your friends. We cannot separate the different life stages of dogs and provide pertinent quick-fix solutions. How you rear your puppy depends on the future direction of that puppy. How you integrate a second hand adult dog into your life depends on their history and your lifestyle. I feel insulted when a simple recipe describes how to achieve no- pulling lead walking, it insults the complexity of the dynamics involved and dismisses the variation and individuality in the relationship. In my long history of teaching people teaching dogs I have always respected that every person has a desire to understand and is not just seeking a quick fix. Only on one occasion has a client found their solution and asked to be excused from the rest of the course. No one has said “don’t bother with all the guff, just tell me what I must do to fix the dog” . The downside to enabling a person’s seeker circuit (desire to learn, explore and discover) is that it can become a little addictive. It is certainly highly reinforcing and the more we dis- cover about dogs the more we want to explore over the next ridge. Smashing! L
earning about dogs is more than the name of my business it has become a lifestyle, passion and motivator. The project, should you choose to undertake it, will take you along a path that will not just introduce new landscapes but see the existing view, through new eyes. You will build your youngster’s ability to live with companionable ease in our very confusing world. Increasing their contentment is innately reinforcing for us and more importantly the journey will build a close and unique relationship with each and every dog that walks the path with you. The competitive sports in the Olympic Games are based on “honing the skills required to live in that society”. That is exactly our project: honing Life Skills for your dog, teaching them to your youngsters. You may choose a cover to cover approach, in which case you will have read this section and experienced a little flush of excitement and anticipation of the forthcoming learning. If you were looking for that instant solution or prefer the dip-n-taste type of learning then you probably will have missed this warning and experience a little disappointment. Ah well, there you are then. Connection is begun with the puppy and matures through the life of the dog. Expect some disconnection during the teen months.
