This ones are my "second" ones, belong to a frind that we visit every weekend and dog sit sometimes, these are the ones with no trainig or discipline (since are not mine) and are the ones that give more trouble for the same reason:

Many of the members here know I don't have a digital camera:-(( 
It broke, and to tell you the truth, it wasn't a very good one anyway.  One of my students took a great head shot of Sequoyah, but I can't seem to reduce it enough to get it posted.  The good news is that I may be able to get another computer soon (used one from work), and it will maybe have Adobe & Dreamweaver on it (my IT guy swears he will do these nice things for me).  Maybe someday....
I also have one that Dana Crevling took of Sequoyah at a Sdao clicker training clinic, but I think that one needs shrinking, too.
At least the one below, of Sioux, was taken while she was working)
We were doing a presentation on therapy and service dogs for a local Lions Club. If I ever get the computer, maybe my boss will let me borrow the company camera over a weekend.  It may be a decade till I get a camera - I'm in the process of reshingling my house. [sm=uhoh.gif]  $$$

Here's one that was taken by someone else of Sioux's first experience on sheep.

Here's one of Sequoyah, but just at play group - taken by one of my students who owns her best friend.

Espencer thanks for posting pictures of Camilla, she is a cutie pie, it's nice to finally meet her.

Anne,
You could always create a photobucket account, it's free, and it will let you upload the pictures just about any size you want, including avatar size.[]

I think education does make a difference in perspective.

I am an Inco major coming from the Human Service track.

I have more time in behavior modification and psychology than I care to admit.

And it does become a part of who you are.  In all aspects of life.

It becomes ingrained in the brain. It spills out into everything.

Even though I lived it for too long, I can no longer spout the specifics of operant and classical conditioning. 

I don't have to.  It is embedded in my actions and thoughts.

Now the point of my post is not to say this is good or bad, right or wrong.  Better or worse.

It just is.

What was the moral of my story?

Oh, I remember

One should not discount Anne's education in psychology and it's application toward dog training....and life in general.

On edit ...I forgot to add something...


ta daaaaa...Da Zeus Man

JM, that dog is just beautiful. []

Oh, I could just eat the Zeus dog on my cereal in the morning, so sweet. Pyranees mix? Hard to tell size. I've got a gigantic soft spot for big fluffly white dogs.

Two dogs on the opposite ends of the "forget dominance" scale:

This is my guy:
