    Hello there from a newbie!

    hello, as you can see I'm new here, actually I had been a lurking a couples month ago,  so I decided to come out of the dark, I have two dogs, one is a 1yr old Border Collie chow mix & a 1 1/2yr old Shepperd lab mix. I fostered dogs, for a few years but had to stop in the last few months due to a new kiddo in the house,  Im looking to learn new methods of training I had gone thru clicker training but I didn't feel that it worked to well, maybe it was my fault maybe not, but I have just recently enrolled in a new  obedience training class, which teaches more based on animal behavior  and I am excited to start  our trainer recommended I read a book called the other end of the leash Patricia McConnell . which has alot of information on Dog Behavior that doesn't sound like a engineering manual.  im als looking to bond with other dog lovers im glad to be here

    thank you, and thats what i've been looking for. Just to learn different perspectives, while I have just started the new training class, the official training wont be till this weekend, the first day was just a lecture,   But I walso want to learn about better nutrition for my dogs. which I will review in the nutrition board.
