And then this happens. HurriKate beseeching Toffee to pay attention to her. From the June Bug Tormentor, to miss sweetie pie.

The HurriKate (bad timing I know) now has a new moniker: The June Bug Tormentor.

All summer she has taken to go out back, at night, and get a beetle or June Bug and bring it inside to play with it until it dies. I find them on the carpet, expired. When I catch her bringing them in, or if the poor thing is still struggling, I will take them back outside and hide them from her. 🫣🫤

Just had a Zoom meeting with people in Canada to organize and finalize a trip to Ontario, Canada next year to conduct classes. It will have been 8 years since I taught in Ontario as of next year.

The location will be Beamsville, about 30 minutes from Niagara. This will be easily reached from Ontario, Quebec, New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, New England and a few close by areas.

Dates have been set for Course I (RBBM Concepts) June 8-10, 2026, followed by Art of Leash Handling (Course I is a pre-requisite) June 11-13. Anyone who has had, or will have had RBBM (Course I) within the past 15 years is eligible for AOLH.

I am looking forward to returning to the Eastern side of Canada after a long hiatus.

More information will come soon. Look for the registration on the website soon as well.

These people are why I go to the extent of teaching. These and many more, over the years. But their efforts to learn, comprehend and gain skills are my inspiration. To keep teaching. At least a few see value in it. At least for now.

Thank you for your trust.

Kate. Today. I got home from teaching class yesterday. I started in with direct training of Kate for Service Dog work. She picked up very quickly on complex tasks and communications. Learning like a sponge. I place her in unique situations for contrast. She will be looking for direction and communications from me in new locations and situations. Yesterday, I tested her focus with me. It was excellent. Up to this point, her focus has been puppy-like, as expected. For her, focus on the other adult dogs was her life. Now, she has matured enough to really pass attention and focus whetr i ask her. The direct serious training started today as a SDIT.

I am becoming important to her. That is part of the key. Relevance and importance. Contrasts are a method to get clarity, if you know what you are doing, and allow brain processing in the right way.

I was very pleased with her behavior with me today. It was a relatively short time out. Vet’s office to weigh her in (59.6 pounds without her tail on the scale - so add .2 pounds), then to the Insurance office to check on what is coming next. Then we went to Quik Trip for coffee. There was tons of people, probably around 12 kids from 3 to 14 years old -chaos. I placed her and she sat well. This was her first time into a commercial situation like Quik Trip. She is only 7 1/2 months old, so doing excellent with her behaviors.

Kate’s structure is looking great, at this stage. I will not have her x-rayed until after she is 2 yo. I will also have ovary retaining spaying done on her when the time comes.

I am aware I do things differently than others in this industry. I receive the results I am looking for with the relationship I want with my dogs.

That is why people study at the Institute. To learn how that happens.

I made an oath, in 2016, that I would never be in competition with any of my students at the Institute. I felt that was disingenuous of the mission of fully educating people, without reserve.

This was a critical step for me, personally, that the precept of teaching was fully honorable and I would always fully engage to provide more information and knowledge than anyone could absorb. It takes years of doing something to become truly professional at it. The education I wanted to provide allowed people to not waste time in different, random directions. I wanted to give people not only the what and how, but much more importantly, the why behind it all. This is what I strive to teach.

Why? Because that allows each of them to be problem solvers for unique and complex problems. We do not seek to teach any formulaic aspect to training or behavior modification. That fails when those 40% of clients and dogs that you encounter don’t fit into formulas.

You are led to believe that one and done tools, formulas or methods solve everything. I see many in this industry without a guiding philosophy, other than being “followers” of a few.

I don’t market, I don’t puff up, I don’t do “flashy” videos. The people I teach are serious practitioners, whether they are long term trainers, new trainers, or enthusiasts. They come because they know that what is taught is not the flash, easy, nor comprehensible within a few day seminar.

If you are serious, and wish to be a knowledgeable and skilled problem solver, check us out, talk to people who actually have gone in depth at the Institute.

I could not be happier with the outcome of this class. Course IV, this year, was longer, deeper, and more impactful. These people put everything into this course, blood, sweat and tears (literally).

Today was the final day (9 days). I can say everyone was worn out from all of the work, learning and brain power.

If you want the “answer” it takes work. Ask any of these people what they got out of this. Looking forward to seeing them next year in Course V. I only accept 5 in that class (just like course II, III and IV). It’s about reaching each person deeply and with detail and comprehension. If you have been wondering about the next step (Course II, III, IV, V) get in touch with a graduate of these and find out. That information is more important to you than “what do you teach?”. The real question is “what did you learn?” The students are the ones that can and will tell you what it was worth to them.

CHRI has been in Existence for 10 years now. Thank you to all of the people who have taken courses and pursued an education with us.

Some photos from day 5, 6 & 7 of Course IV. Two more days of learning to come.

This class has been incredible. I am very happy for all of these people. Fantastic improvement, comprehension, skills, knowledge, confidence, etc. It is all coming together for them.

I will not tell you any of this is easy. But it is both deep, and valuable to everyone. The ability to instantly problem solve any situation and get a good outcome is what this is all about. Ask them what they have learned.

Photos from Course IV. Lots more videos, but cannot seem to share them with photos.

Dogs and Trainers are doing great. Both changing. Tons of learning and getting the concepts and applications set. I am very happy with their progress and abilities.

I have seen some impeccable and perfect timing and perfect responses day four.
