My greyhounds aren't so much better than other greyhounds because I was able to fit someone's mold... its because I have a good "feel" for what is needed. A take away something from every trainer, but I'm also not afraid to say... "no" and so far all trainers have been good with that. <br /><br />I agree with what Amy said... I do get tired of everything Susan does as being a plug for some product. She is quite the business lady and she did manage to rope me into Puppy Peaks. :-) LOL <br /><br />None of my greyhounds has ever tugged, but in watching Puppy Peaks it is interesting to see her struggle with getting Swagger to tug when he'd rather have food. So I'm trying to figure if I had a greyhound puppy would I insist on tugging and if so... why? Where have I failed so far having never trained a tugger? I'm pretty good with food motivation. And do I really want a dog that pulls my arm out of the socket and makes my back ache?<br /><br />Wow that was a long comment! :-)Never Say Never Greyhoundshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00001070229800933763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5663318040255442389.post-87668038289821512502011-08-15T20:05:47.760-04:002011-08-15T20:05:47.760-04:00Oh my, I'm so glad I've found your blog.
...Oh my, I'm so glad I've found your blog. <br /><br />First of all, THANK YOU for clearing up where the "Good girly" thing is from. There's a lady I've taken some lessons from who has trained with Greg Derrett and I think SG too, and she always says "Good Girly!!" To my Layla. I could never figure out where that came from. <br /><br />Second, I don't like how everything is a plug for a product. Yes I'd like one of those crazy recall courses - but I can't afford those prices! I'm still in college. I'm poor.<br /><br />Third, your personality sounds very much like mine. I'm not intimidated much at all. I would not go see someone just because I was told I "had" to. It's that very reason I've refused to see "The Social Network" or read/see "Twilight". I won't give in to sensationalism.<br /><br />Congratulations on Nationals and being ranked - but especially for having fun with your dogs! I've seen a lot of people locally winning their heights but the dogs look passive. The people run, Q, and put the dog back in their crate until the next run. I'd rather enjoy my dogs as dogs.Amy / Layla the Malamutehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17483472323529793052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5663318040255442389.post-20280278400995967362011-08-15T14:09:38.701-04:002011-08-15T14:09:38.701-04:00What a nice post!
