It was around this time, 9* years ago, that I first heard speak.

The place was Natick, MA, and the topics were something about reinforcement strategies and then aggression strategies..

It was a phenomenal weekend for someone barely a year into their training career.

I was working at Surefire Dogs as their desk help and assistant puppy class trainer.

Really, I just wanted to play agility with my Best Girl.

Anyway... 9 years later, I find myself on this most fascinating train to somewhere big.

Here's to the next 9 years of dog behavior geekery.

Hi I'm Haymitch.

You can call me Mitch! Or Mitchy Moo.
My family does.
But my name is “Haymitch” though.
That's important to my Dad, I guess…
My registered name is Hannibal of House Bairon.
That is important to my first mom,
I am here because my dad wrote me a love letter - well… they called it a “blog”, since it's my first birthday, but it reads like a love letter, and I want to share it with you now.

The world is scary and my to do list is long. So I am pausing to do some boring yard time with Mitch while I gather my thoughts and my strength to take the next steps.

Carry on and happy pride

Flash is alive and currently well, but he is nearing the end of his life. And so I find myself reflecting back on our lives together and some of the most important lessons I have learned on our journey through life.
Lessons I carry into my coaching program.

We were babies back then.

I knew you would take me to great places but I couldn't have ever imagined where.

Forgive me, I am feeling nostalgic tonight

There is a genoc!de taking place and f@scism is tightening it's grip on us.

The world is on fire and we have 89 seconds to correct course.

So... Shut up and focus on what matters:
train your dogs.
Focus on welfare and make sure they live their best lives.
Fight rac!sts and n@z!s.
Be bold.
In the best ways.
