green monster

Recently Mr. Rick Vaughn and I have listened to John test out the "Green Monster" and also throw in the Mega Whistle.
They have the same sound tone but the Mega is just much easier to realize that it is a whistle.
It is apparent that it is going to take a lot of time to get used to, especially for the older dogs, any opinions or views on whistle choices?

K-9 Rehabilitation.

heyy ya'll cortney here (:
john's assistant trainer...i have recently began working w. tulip. A fairly young yellow dog, who had to have surgery on her shoulder.
She had a bone chip that had to be removed.
I have recently taken an interest in her rehab. and i work with her every day 3 times a day removing her harness. and working her joints that are harnessed. but i have to make sure her shoulder stays still.
Traveling with Mr. Ray Watson (Cam Too Nursery) has really sparked my interest.
goin "behind the scenes" at the rehab vet was very educational. and i would jus like to thank mr ray for giving me the opportunity to do that.


but continuing on....i am hoping to futher that as a career path but still remain at the kennels w. the training being my passion.
So any ideas or comments just let me know on that subject on what you think.

Winter Training and Snow!

We had an unexpected snow fall last night, leaving everything covered with an inch of snow this morning. It was just about gone by noon. Can't seem to escape the snow, even in the south!
