I WANT TO DO A DD ON UNINTENTIONAL TRAINING-- WHICH IS A WONDERFUL TOPIC AND NEW TO ALOT OF PEOPLE--- and sometimes pretty funny.... HOWEVER.....
todays daiily doggie got waylaid because i have been trying to straighten out teh mess made by having too many people working on a project unknown to each other... it's alot of work-- an d i now need to figure out how not to waste theri efforts.
I JUST FOUND OUT THAT KATHY ( CP 2012 ) has been trying to collect teh start of a book under someone else's direction-- not mine- i hate to be sticky... but for any projects involving sdp and all you camera people, it has to run past me-- or at least linda - who is my external memory device... having anyone else try and manage some project long distance without my specific "OK" just makes a mess in the long run. SDP has one filter before me--- it is linda-- who does an unbelieveable job with impossible details--- and she is right in the next room and can keep me updated. NO one else has my ok to have money or materials sent anywhere else... every one in the world would love to take over our community -- and access to our email GROUP-- from pepsi to cruise ships--- absolutely no !
so back to the book....
janice-- who wrote scots "knot today" has been working with me and has a pretty good handle on book writing-
we still, need any interesting emails anyone might find- apparently kathy has been collecting some- and has spend some significant time on them ( correcting the spelling) -- but if you find somthing you think is book worthy, send it to me with "book" for the subject... AND I WILL DEAL WITH THE KATHY AND JANICE PRODUCTION--- AND ANYONE ELSE WHO HAS BEEN MISLEAD.
i may be getting up there, but i am not ready --- or willing to deligate--- without considerable discussion with my group of advisors who are around drinking coffee here nearly daily. THEY HAVE DETERMINED IF I HIT 3 THINGS IN ONE DAY WITH MY CAR, I AM TO GIVE UP DRIVING... SO FAR SO GOOD...
last week i thought i did one book type dd-- but i am beyond that now... i would like to count on you all to comment on ones you think might be book worthy..... SEND THEM TO ME INFO@SERVICEDOGPROJECT.ORG COMES TO BOTH LINDA AND ME... i will stash them somewhere to mull them over--

i will think about unintentional training.... here is an email that started me thinking....
THOSE THINGS DO HAPPEN-- AND SOMETIMES IT CAN BE FUNNY I WILL TRY AND COLLECT SOME THOUGHTSHi Carlene!Referring to training, I’ve only been involved in inspiring four dogs (male Beagles) to be good citizens & have found the concept of unintentional training to be fascinating.Case in point was Andy, who in his playful puppy exuberance found it great fun to hold down honeybees with his nose. Teddy, the dog before him, was highly allergic to insect stings, so I took more of a proactive stance than possibly was warranted. Every time Andy nuzzled a bee I ran over to him & said, “No, no, bad bug!” My approach worked & in time Andy would study the bees a bit & walk away.The only problem was that one time while cautioning Andy to leave a bee alone I sneezed. For the rest of his life (14-1/2 years) he associated sneezing with danger, & whenever someone sneezed he headed for the hills (AKA the door). If he was inside, he wanted to go outside & vice versa. Nothing worked to alleviate the problem - trying to stifle a sneeze, announcing one ahead of time with a calm voice & smile, reassuring words after one with a little laugh - there was no remedy.The amazing thing about this unintentional training was that there was only one person who could sneeze & not send him into a panic - me. Who knows what conclusion Andy drew from my unintentional training - perhaps he thought he was okay if I sneezed because he’d never been hurt when I was teaching him about “bad bugs” or perhaps he thought I was continuing to fend off danger & keeping him safe every time I sneezed.
AS I THANK YOU ALL FOR ANOTHER SELL OUT !!!!!! SHATTING TODAY-- NOT SURE UNDER WHICH CAMERA,,,,,,, IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE 22 DEGREES...
