Recently someone asked me about my certifications. Since there’s not a great spot on the FB cover to put them, I’m posting them.

We offer private and group lessons in manners and competition sports. All instructors have many years of experience, and use positive reinforcement techniques.

It was a long day, but well worth it.
0400 wake up for an 0830 ring time in Springfield, Ma. where Stevie earned her last point for her AKC Championship under judge Dr. Tracy Powell. We made a quick stop at Vt. Country Store where she traversed the store like she was the mayor. Home for a fun 1.5 mile hike and play with her new toy.

Thank you to all who have supported us through this journey. I’m so thankful for the friends, old and new. Special thanks to everyone who was so kind today. Congratulations to all the winners!

Lance Armstrong famously said “It’s not about the bike”. The same can be said of ribbons and titles. We left the SW trial today with a respectable handful of ribbons, placements and a couple of titles. But it wasn’t a great day. There were a number of logistical surprises to work around, the weather was lousy and there was a different vibe today. As we were debriefing, Mie (the voice of reason) reminded me of the things that went right and the amazing people that we are so blessed to train with. We had competitors helping each other, family members volunteering and numerous selfless WB folks who gave up a day at home to volunteer for us. The “regulars” are always there offering a hand and a smile and I’m so thankful for them. I’m also proud of our students who did a fantastic job, not only with their dogs but being supportive community members. At the end of the day, it’s about the people and their dogs and our crew knows how to add value wherever they go. Special thanks to Mie Kingsley and all of the stewards and judges.

Huge thanks to everyone who attended the Scent Work Clinic with Jennifer Anderson this weekend. As always, it was a bright, lively and supportive group with some fabulous working dogs. Special thanks to Jen for sharing her knowledge and elevating our skills. We’re looking forward to having you back! More photos to come.

Finally a trial where Stevie wasn’t in season! We finished her BN with a first place and score of 194.5 and we finished the day with the first fire of the season. It isn’t easy being Stevie. We took today off due to an injury in the field; hopefully nothing too serious.

In the words of Ben & Jerry, “If it’s not fun, why do it?”

We are so incredibly grateful for the friends and clients who support and volunteer at our trials and events and attend classes at Warner Brook. These events are incredibly labor intensive and literally can’t happen without a solid team. So a heartfelt thank you to all of you, as well as our judges, Bill Craig and Lori Moffa.

There were lots of qualifying legs, new titles and lessons learned. Lots of laughs and lots of food. Veteran dogs and baby puppies and all the people and things that make it fun. Thanks everyone!

Deer season in Vermont (archery) has begun and will continue until November 15. Remember to dress yourselves and your dogs accordingly. A bell on the collar and blaze orange are a good idea.

Looking forward to fabulous AKC Rally & Obedience trials Saturday, sponsored by our friends at CCA. Feel free to use our fall photo backdrop (more props to be added) for win shots or just for fun, but PLEASE do not let your dog p*e on the hay bales! Good luck to everyone and remember to tag Warner Brook when you post photos!

Filli was SO happy to be the special one tonight. She was amazing at scent work class and such a cooperative model!

Local folks- My time with these pups was very limited, but most of them were incredibly sweet and biddable. Check them out!

After a Mount Tabor home partially collapsed in early August, the Rutland County Humane Society took in 36 dogs, but where are they now?

Happy Fall from Warner Brook! Looking forward to seeing everyone next weekend for our trial. 🎃
