I'm very excited to be doing Susan Garrett's recoilers course again. What makes it extra exciting for me is that we seem to have quite a lot of Cavaliers on course this time. I know there have been some before but the new course format helps us connect.
I do feel like a bit of a fraud taking a recall course. Cavaliers love their people so much that I don't think recall is usually much of an issue (except for Max and squirrels) but on the other hand I have to work a lot harder than most border collie or golden retriever owners to get enthusiastic tugging from my dogs (I know my own fault - I didn't keep it up as much as I should have when they were pups) so it all works out . It's a wonderful community and really supportive. I feel like I've grown a lot as a trainer since I have been involved in the recallers program.
