Kerry,
You are making it too hard for me. Could you ask specific questions, otherwise I would have to write a book!!!! LOL.
It has nearly been a week, and I am still wadding through my notes and videos, trying to come up with a new training program.
BTW, I observed many goldens while in the US. From what I saw of your golden boy when you trialled in Victoria, certainly has a lot of desire. What is his pedigree again?
Maintaining desire and great control is my number one aim.
Bottom line is that I had no idea until a couple of years ago how hard Australian trials were and what drills etc are required to teach a dog. I pray I have learnt something in my travels.
I love this edit feature. I forgot to answer your question regarding the seminar. Yes it is still on for next July. There has been a lot of interest from people that did not attend Bill's original seminar. As there also has been a lot of interest from past attendees to attend Bill's second seminar, the plan is to quickly (due to time restraints) in a single day !!!!!! to review the first seminar. The following three days will be training fundamentals - INTO THE FIELD (Australian testing requirements). The seminars are not for the faint hearted as both will be very intensive.
Andrew and I have purchased a new computer. During the change over I lost a lot of Emails.
Please Email me (
