Maybe you could ask the shelter if they have a foster progam, where you could take a puppy or young dog and keep for a while to train; that way the dog gets more likely to be adopted and you get a "new" dog to practice your skills and take to the training classes?

This is an excellent idea!

This!!! I would but hubby would never allow it. I get in shit for the animals I already have lol

I'd get myself in big trouble because I wouldn't be able to let the foster go.

Real camping or Glittery style?

Kind of in between. We were in a national forest campground with tables and fire rings, and we have a small truck camper. So, we weren't back-packing or anything, and we didn't have to sleep in a tent, but we went hiking, got plenty dirty, and did all our cooking and eating outside.

We took the dogs and talk about getting dirty! I just brushed them thoroughly when we got home, and now they are heading for baths. Spaniel is giving me mournful looks already.

I think it would look really good on your resume too, especially if you are going for the behavioralist path. Take video/pictures of the before/during/after and create a portfolio showing your skills in dog training.

I like these ,Cy but I got schooled on BYC once whn I liked someone's pic and suggested they put it in the contest. They quickly let me know that it was in no way calender quality. Lighting and sharpness (I believe) were off and they were poor quality. Only time I've ever been told off for giving a compliment. Anyway... clearly I don't know jack about pictures. BUT like I said I (with my clearly untrained eye) like these. Especially the snow ones.

in the spring if you want a stag I'll give you one. Now I've culled down to what ima keep. I don't ship chicks I do ship eggs 120.00 a dozen

Don't tempt me with your fabulously fantastic birds! You're going to get me in trouble!

You'd really give me one? I'll have to see how the rooster situation is looking when that time comes around. But I want you to be sure you're ok with it. I would be hatching chicks from my mixed flock of hens bred to him and may rehome some. I can assure you I would never tell people what they were.
