Pinch Me...

"All our dreams can come true--if we have the courage to pursue them."--Walt Disney

Seriously...is all this stuff a dream? I'm heading to the Carolina's next Thursday to teach a great group of people. 

And May 21 & 22nd I will be teaching a seminar in Utah...

And I will be doing a weekend of seminars July 14th & 15th at my place...

It seems like it's not real right now :)

I teach all the time...I love sharing the passion I have for dog training. I love seeing students get it, and the dogs get it. I just enjoy passing that on. 

And now I am getting to travel, meet new people, new dogs and continue to share my passion :)

I thought the photos I took of the dogs would totally not fit with this blog post...but in a way...they do. I have been chewing on things for a long time...
 I guess I am amazed people actually are coming to these seminars! 
 Is that a silly way to feel? I know I can help people, I know that I can think out of the box, adapt and apply. I have so much passion, knowledge and want, that I want to share with people...
 And I ACTUALLY GET TO SHARE IT WITH MORE PEOPLE...incredible...
 I'm amazed they want to hear it I guess? LOL Maybe I am naive...maybe I am just in a place where it doesn't seem real yet...
But I am so very grateful...grateful for the people who want me to come teach, for the people I will be meeting, the dogs I will help, the excitement of it all...

It still amazes me that so many of you read my blog, watch my you tube videos...my life doesn't seem that amazingly interesting...yet I see ya'll supporting me in my adventures in life :) From the bottom of my heart I say thank you...you ALL mean so very much to me!
 Lynn is going to fly with me to the seminars...because she is, like awesome :) And people seem more excited about meeting her than me...I can deal with that :)
 Gator is staying home...because he has stalkers and I want to keep him...apparently his sexiness has it's negatives :)
 I can't even TELL you how excited I am....some of the people I will be teaching I have had the pleasure of getting to know via email...and it's GREAT!
 I have always had a dream of getting to travel around and help people. I really LOVE doing that...add dogs into the mix and you pretty much have my perfect job. 
 And aside...Zip's spay went well...she is doing great :) Although not really happy about the leash walks...now back to me being sappy....
Another cool things about these upcoming seminars...I am loving the variety...different breeds, different handlers, different levels, high drive, needing drive, all different, all fun, all challenging! SPAZZING HERE!!!! 
I feel like the luckiest girl in the world :) I really do. My life is so very blessed!!!!!

I'm so happy that you get to do this!! Your talents for knowing just the right fix for each dog and handler you teach should be shared with as many people as possible. The wide variety of your students and the breeds they choose to run agility with certainly proves that. We've all got issues to deal with, and you never cease to amaze me with the lengths (and crazy patience) you go to, to help us! No two handlers and dogs are alike. It isn't always easy.. I know that! I'm lucky to get to learn from you every week! HAVE A GREAT TIME!!!!!!!!!!!! Just come back so we can have more lessons. ;)

I know everyone wants one of your BCs, but I want Crackers! :-) If I had decided to stick with agility with Mo, I would definitely be having you help me with her!

Diana said...

Taryn said...

It does sound like a great job to travel and teach agility. Come to Northern Virginia (there's a HUGE agility community here!) and I will definitely sign up for your seminar!
I'm in desperate need of table help!
