Needing to Stay focused

Well it has been such a long time since i have posted, my world like many has change and many interruptions have happened, 2020 is the year of covid, the year all plans stopped.
Our schools were cancelled bar one and my once in a lifetime overseas holiday never happened but I am alive and well for that I am a lucky person.
Our dogs are consistently changing, the problem dogs I took on to trial my new methods have all found forever homes and now I have a huge gap to fill to get my team ready to work and maybe trial. 
I am short of dogs but that is ok I am in no rush. I have found working with problem dogs difficult but rewarding, did it test me, in every way. I learnt more than I could imagine and am happy to pass it on to my students.
I believe we always question our ability at times and that is not a bad thing as long as we always remember we are the best person for our dogs and we can do this. Knowledge, confidence and belief are all necessary to becoming a great handler.
Location changes are being made slowly, it is time I bid Spring Plains and life on the big runs farewell, I have worked hard all my life and it is time I enter a new phase and start a new journey, adventure awaits me. I am wanting to move closer to people, yes people.
I will open up a working dog school, a regular one every weekend, I would love to teach as many people as I can and hopefully pass on my passion for these great dogs. Maybe I can return to the trial grounds as well who knows. I will keep you all posted,.
I am also adding to my knowledge a advanced accredited canine behavioral course which I started some months back. Knowing more about our dogs can only improve us as handlers, I even get letters after my name, ones I will never use but it is the spreading of what I learn that excites me.
2020 is nearly over, I wish every one a Merry Christmas, look forward and leave the year behind as great things are going to happen next year, stay safe and stay happy.
