Dar, 

Very funny story. Thank you for sharing. As far as NJ weather in the fall.
It will start getting cooler by September and October, and cooler perhaps
cold by November and definitely by December. The coldest months for NJ and
PA are January and February. Unless we have a winter like last where we had
snow in October, I think you will be fine. I understand about having a hard
time walking on ice, but I came to TSE in February, and there was snow but
no ice. Not much anyways. If you think you are going to be here for ice
weather, have you investigated, Yak-tracks? They are coils that you put on
the bottom of your shoes for traction. If you step on your pups foot, they
will not hurt the pup. I start putting them on my shoes around December and
I am in PA. Philadelphia to be exact, which is not very far from Morristown
NJ.

I must share this story, just cracks me up every time I think of it.
I was in training with my dog, when we were learning how to get into a car.
This was the back seat of the car.
I started getting in with one foot inside and sitting down.
The next thing I knew here was this big dog sitting on my lap.
the instructor wanted me to correct dog, but I was laughing so hard, 
that I wasn't going to be able to do this.
I pulled my foot in and the instructor shut the door.
I know I laughed hard for at least one minute with this goofy dog on my 
lap ever so proud.
When I opened up door, and dog got off lap, we started all over again.
Then the dog got in just the way he was trained.
i have to say having my arms around the dog laughing, I feel broke ice 
for both of us.
that he knew he has business to do as well as he could make me laugh.
Now it doesn't take much for me to laugh, so he didn't have to work hard.
Of course I got the serman how I couldn't let this happen in a cab oh 
ya or in a private car.
I smiled and walked on my way.
You know, there has to come a time when we let the dogs show some of 
their sillyness so we can get to know them.
this is what I think anyway.
Still waiting for class date.
If anyone lives in the New Jersey area, let me know what it is like in 
the fall.
The later the school keeps telling me the more afraid I am of wanting 
to go here.
I can't walk well on ice in Montana, I sure can't walk any better on 
ice in a different state loll.
I keep sharing this, and I don't feel I am being heard,
all I get is we are trying to train a slow dog for you.
I understand for the most part this doesn't happen, where you see,
I am in Montana and in October not to far ago we got a foot of snow.
I don't trust at all.
Friday it was a beautiful day and Saturday morning we couldn't even 
open the back door because of the snow.
so you see, I am very concerned training in the fall.
Thanks,
