So sorry for taking so long to get these posted!!
You may have noticed that some of these photographs have been taken inside & some have been taken outside. That is due to the fact that I teach classes at both the Denia Recreation Center as well as the Wiggly Field Dog Park. Both of which are located in Denton, Texas.
I want to thank everyone again for taking my class, & to remind you to keep working with your dog. Remember if you don’t use it you loose it.
I will have another basic class beginning at the Denia rec center August 13, & an advanced class at Wiggly Field in September.
Have a great summer!

Wicked Minds, Oh MY!!! {continuing education}
March 24, 2009
On Friday March 20, 2009 I attended the “Great Minds” conference at UNT. The conference was hosted by ORCA, which stands for Organization for Reinforcement Contingencies with Animals. ORCA is a student organization based in the Behavior Analysis program at the University of North Texas here in Denton. This organization is really doing some amazing break through research in animal behavior & training. Not only do they research it they also implement and share it.
The Great Minds conference was lead by Dr. Jesus Rosales-Ruiz who is the advisor for the program at UNT. Then we heard from Steve Martin and the Art of Training, this gentleman has experience working with a lot of animals but focuses mostly on birds of prey. Next we heard from Steve White about Skinner & world collide. Then we broke for lunch where I sat next to Angie Drake who is doing her theses on taming feral domestic cats. (Boy did I pick her brain about “Mystery”) After lunch was Alexandra Kurland who clicker trains horses. Next we heard from Kay Lawrence all the way from England, not only did she have amazing information to share, she also has a really neat accent! Last we heard from Ken Ramirez who talked about his personal experiences over the past 30 years during which time he’s trained all types of animals.
Bob Bailey was also supposed to be presenting, recently he had surgery and was unable to come, but being the dedicated man that he is he sent a letter to us anyway!!!
It has taken me 4 days to begin this post, because I am still absorbing all the information I received!!! Friday night I barely got any rest, as I was training dogs all night long in my dreams!!
I consider myself lucky to be able to attend a conference like this and learn from some of the worlds top most sought after and knowledgeable trainers.

Here are the latest class of doggie graduates:
Enjoy~
These photographs came out surprisingly good, especially since I couldn’t even see what I was shooting. It was dark outside, no lights where we took these photos. Maybe I need to spend less time with my final class individual review sessions……hummmm, no maybe not. I think it is less important to get a great photo on this day. BUT I can offer all my students a great deal on a REAL photo session. Anyone interested please send me an email and I can give you details!!
What a great class this was!! Thank you all so much for attending my classes, being so attentive during class and with your dogs each week especially working with them between classes (that’s the hardest part) each week. The love and care you each have for your animals warms my heart!! This is what keeps me looking forward to the next class I get to teach. Thank you all, again.
For everyone interested I have another basic class scheduled to begin Thursday April 23 at Denia Recreation Center it will be from 6 to 7 PM. Denia can be reached at 940-349-8285 or you can register online at www.DentonParks.com This will be my last class until August.
