Great memory that popped up from 2017 while at my first MN.
As we travel to the HRC International Grand may we all arrive safe and sound and may we all “focus on the journey” and enjoy the journey 💚

Save travels to all my fellow HRC family from coast to coast

It’s great to be home, but it’s better to have come home with this amazing crew!

Flight H was a wonderful flight. Frustrations were high from time to time due to things out of our control, but we stuck together and got through the 10 days together.

I’m just tickled to death with these fabulous animals, what they do for us is simply amazing. I am the lucky one, lucky to walk to the line with each dog, from the 1st series to the 5th series and then to walk up and receive their awards, all 7 of them!

Congratulations to all the owners of this fantastic crew.

Copied from Clarice Whitfield’s page but this is so true for all kennel owners.

We that have Kennel's and Train dogs are asked or told:
"Do you take off Holiday's?"
"I'll be back in town Thanksgiving evening and I'll come and get my dog."
"I can pick my dog up Christmas night."
"Can I drop my dog off at 6:00 in the morning?"
"Can I pick my dog up at 8:00 PM?"
"I need to pick my dog up on Sunday."
"I know we have these dates but I need to extend my dog's stay."
"I know the training ends on Thursday but I can't pick my dog up till Saturday."

We care for dogs 24/7, 365 days a year. Kennel's are a business and we have hours and days of operation for the public. If we are able to accommodate our clients we will do so but there are times that we are not able.

Remember that if we were not caring for your dog, how would you take your Holidays and Vacations? Please show us respect and not an attitude. 🐾❤️🐾

This! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Nothing is more aggravating than someone asking….what’s this dogs age? What’s his/her level? As if there is a specific age a dog should be to be at a certain level. I will train the dog in front of me, ALWAYS
It takes as long as it takes.

Know your dog…

So many times we see people ask “Where should my dog be at a certain age?” And there really is no set answer for that.

Theres a lot of different variables that can alter that answer.

1. How often do you train?
-Dogs learn off of repetition. The more you train them, the quicker they learn. That’s why you see dogs with a Pro that trains them 5 days a week excel faster than a dog trained by their owner 1 time a week.

2. Pedigree
-Pedigrees matter! Dogs that are bred from highly hunt tested and field trial lineage is more likely to turn out quicker than your average bred dog with no titles. You are comparing generations and generations of well trainable dogs to a high standard to dogs that have not proved anything not shown any of their lineage trainability.

3. The dog itself.
-Some dogs just are slower starters than others and require you to train them slower.

EXAMPLE: Meet Briar…
Briar is a 2 year old British Labrador Retriever. Briar’s owner had all the proper steps done to ensure she had a quality puppy. She picked out a reputable breeder with a great pedigree of proven dogs and proven producers, she raised her with my guidance & she sent her off to me to be trained at 6 months old. However, while all the other dogs in the kennel her same age were running Seasoned & Senior last year, Briar was running Junior & Started. And now while those same dogs are training for Finished & Master, she is training for Seasoned & Senior. Is there anything wrong with Briar? ABSOLUTELY NOT! Briar just was a little bit of a slower starter. There was even talk about washing her out a time or 2. But her owner had listened time every step of the way and understood that “Rome wasn’t built in a day”. And we stuck at it (with plenty of breaks). And now this little pup that we once had to force to pick up a bumper, is a psychopathic retrieving machine that is excelling in everything we throw at her. She’s working on finishing up her water T now. She is such a talented pup. All she needed was time. In anyone’s hands who would have “rushed” her training, she would have been ruined. But we are so glad to see how far she will go.

Enjoyed spending the day in the field working with everyone! Thanks for coming out EHRC 🐾🦆

There’s a lot of negative going around today.
Everybody share a picture of your dog with positivity in mind. Share a picture of your dog or dogs when you were proud of them. Share a picture to say we are not going to let this negativity divide us.
