Thanks.  If my only choice was IGP, I wouldn't compete.  I am also very fortunate that our club is only 30 minutes away.  I think if I had to travel several hours, as many people do, I also would not compete.

Love the picture with the bucket!

He looks like one of your dogs in that picture. Maybe Teaky?

Teaky is a looker.

She is.

Teaching maintaining a focused heel with decoys running by.

His focus is amazing. You two look good together. I like how trim and fit he is,

Thanks.  Because of the level of control the sport requires, a lot of the training is boring. But yesterday we worked on him holding a down in the back of a U-Haul while a decoy was hollering, moving and firing shotgun blanks.  Then he was sent from the U-Haul, over a jump and into a guard of the decoy.

That didn’t sound boring.  Repetition of anything would be monotonous if you practice long enough, but it needs to be done.
