Long Time No Write

It has been too long since my last entry... A whole session of training classes have come and gone... The second session starts tomorrow... And the Wesson dog and handler are in a funk... 2013 has started off with many challenges... Lost an instructor which meant I was teaching every night  which left little time for updating my blog... Lost kennel help,  replaced kennel help and found out yesterday was  our replacements last day... Seems the job was too much, didn't like getting up early.. Funny no buddy wants to work these days no matter what the pay.. That will be my last HS student.. I will avoid them like the plague..
And to make matters even worse, Wesson has started 2013 in a funk.. Suddenly he is not attentive, seems afraid of the judges ( male or female) and generally frightened in the ring... I have gotten avoidance signals, fear signals and general discontent.. what is confusing is that this was a dog 30 or so days ago that seemed to be really enjoying himself and running in the ring.. General consensus be happy, have fun and enjoy the moment.. easily said... hard to do when all your work just got flushed down the crapper and you do not know why or how...
Just so you know you are not the only one who has training issues here is Mr. Wesson.

Session 2 starts tomorrow night... looking forward to starting with a fresh group and it usually helps me forget my training problems which I generally have many.. Hoping this funk Wesson and I are in is short and sweet and over soon...
