Training Report 4-4-11

Cameron is doing well with his training! That boy just keeps making me proud as he moves right along in his training. I am hoping and praying that he can work over this dog distraction. I just need to keep reminding myself that he will do it in his own time. :) He is doing a wonderful job and I am so happy that I helped him get where he is today!

See for yourself at how well he is doing!

Cameron on Twitter Again!!

I just saw that my boy Cameron is on Twitter again! Woohoo! He is working a mall route today and he looks great! Thanks to the trainer who posted his picture up there for us all to see.




Isn't he a handsome boy?! He is making me so proud! He is advancing nicely in his training. How lucky have I been to be his raiser?
