Cris and Janet,
Thank you for
putting together a very good training session last week.
I especially
appreciate the way you managed to provide learning
experiences
for the various levels of dog/handler teams.
I know this
was the first time you have done this kind of "sampler"
seminar and
that you had to work your way through the organizational
issues. It is
to your credit that you asked for input and responded
with
organizational changes. It was a great improvement and
I know the
participants
appreciated your efforts.
Cris, thank
you for helping Buster and me with both trailing and
water.
I really
enjoy working with you when there is a new challenge to
work
through. And Janet, thank you for helping with
trailing, water and
area. I
especially appreciated the fact that you took time to
sit with
me following
the area exercise and discussed what had taken
place. It
made for an
excellent learning experience. And thank you for
yelling
at me on the
boat. It made my day. :-)
Both of you
are extremely important to the search dog community.
And a big
thank you to the High Country Team that provided high
quality,
friendly support. I am glad we all are finding time to
work
together.
Sincerely,
Chuck Schneebeck
