[NAGDU] Owner training

Thu Apr 11 18:22:37 UTC 2019

Jordan,

	I'm not even sure if you will receive this, as I received
notification you have unsubscribed from this discussion list. In any case, I
feel a need to respond because Julie was only speaking truth. Owner training
is a very challenging, time-consuming endeavor that requires a deep
commitment to the process and to the dog. As she has stated, if the desire
is not intrinsic but founded in some outer motivation, the zeal for the
process will quickly fade and the result wil be disastrous. Julie offered
support and part of that support is a candid statement about the necessity
for a commitment to the process. There are those who cannot accept honest,
straightforward, constructive input and confuse honesty with disrespect. I
know Julie  and know her valuable contributions to the owner trainer
process. Like in most successful endeavors, if the ego gets in the way the
outcome will be marginal!

Fraternally yours,
Marion

BTW, your attitude has just lost any further business I was going to give
you and I will make sure everyone I know knows about your lousy attitude.

I do, but you already knew that.  Owner training is...not for everyone, but 
that sounds rather lame.   I think you have to have some very strong reasons

for wanting to owner train and they really need to be intrinsic.  Anger or
revenge or proving something to others  isn't enough mental fuel to carry
you through the owner training process.

If you'd like to talk feel free to give me a call.  I think you have my
number, but if not send me a private email and I'll send it to you.  The
phone invitation goes out to anyone interested in owner training.

I also host a free conference call every other Saturday and I am hosting a
second meet up in Kansas City over Memorial Day weekend.  It's also free,
scholarships are available, to anyone interested in owner training.  You
don't need to be an owner trainer to attend either the phone conference or 
meet up.   You do need to be an owner trainer in some stage of the process 
to qualify for the scholarship though.  Email me for more info,

Who on here owner trains? Looking into this option since schools se to think
my dogs having issues are my fault.
