Sorry I've been gone so long

Back in 2006 I opened Pikes Peak Manners In Minutes when I retired from the Sheriff's Office.  This was never supposed to be a full time job, just something for an old cop to do.  The goal was about a thirty hour week and enough income to pay the bills.

And that is what it was until 2012.  Suddenly I was working six or seven days a week anywhere from 40 to 70 hours. 

As a result this blog fell by the wayside.  It wasn't that I didn't have something to say, it was finding time to say it.

I've grown as a trainer and as a result at any given time I have about 60 to 80 dogs that I am working with.  Neighborhood pack has grown from one session a week to four.  Some days I get here at 9 and don't get home until 8 or 9 at night.

But this has become a very rewarding way to spend my retirement.  I get to watch so many dogs change and so many owners improve their skills.

I'll try to be better about posting things that may help you. 

And now I have to go work with a dog
