Just like anyone who has owned dogs, I'd engaged in some training and behaviour modification with varying success.  I went from being a pet dog trainer thinking that I wasn't doing too bad a job of it until I decided to get into competition.  Talk about putting your money where your mouth is!  I discovered that I had a lot to learn!  I write about my experiences with my own dogs in #alifewithdogs where you'll see my successes and failures writ large! Here I share some of the lessons I learned along the way.
