Are you brimming with enthusiasm over some upcoming event, seminar or trainer? Do you have dyspepsia over some training idea currently being circulated or piece of equipment? Got something really funny to pass on (no web jokes, please.) This is the seat of mirth, ill humor and insights for all dog trainers who occasionally take the lead off their dogs and think about something else. It isn't a bulletin board, but if you have something special to pass on, let us know. Please no dog organization politics-these groups are harassed enough without our piling on.
