This trainer sounds like she genuinely wants to see well behaved dogs so I wouldn't think of it as a 'charity case' in the slightest. We had a trainer who would have free obedience classes, open to the public, every Sunday in the summer in a park. She genuinely wanted people to have well trained, socialized dogs. She just recently passed and they had memorial walk for her with in that park. Over 100 people and dogs showed up! I would take your trainer up on this offer ASAP. Then you can also learn if you want to spend the money for an e-collar or if it's not for you guys.

That makes complete sense. I mean, really, we have become friends. We always laugh together when Jax and I are out there, and we share VERY similar views on many things (she likes most people about as much as I do...not much!)
I will get in touch with her. Thanks, y'all for the kick in the pants!
That's a great story about the trainer in your area...what a great tribute to her.

Made ourselves trek out to Starved Rock State Park yesterday even though is was a slick, muddy mess and we were ever so slightly hung over (adult birthday parties...). Rubie had a BLAST in the mud and even got to run around one of the canyons off leash a bit (just back and forth recalls). She's been doing wonderfully on the e-collar so far. We've just been working on heel so she get's used to the feeling and we get used to handling the remote. I plan on starting using it for recall this week.

Admiring the scenery:

We use a belt to attach her leash to when hiking. Looks like a puppy umbilical cord:

MUD - it was caked all over her stomach and legs. This warranted a rare bath when we got home:

Wow, what a cool place for some dog fun! Very cool scenery! Ugh on the hangover!
And...even with mud on her face...that girl is beautiful!!

I hope to get to Starved Rock sometime this spring / summer. Looks beautiful but I've never been there yet.

The 'best' time to go if after rain so you can see the waterfalls in the canyons. Last time we went it was CRAZY busy but we started by the visitor center. This time we started at the 'end' of the trails and worked our way in. That coupled with the mud and questionable weather meant there were very few people on the trails. It is very beautiful, though. And a nice change from all the flatness in DuPage county!

Bogie heard a noise when I was taking his pictures, he jumped up to run while the glasses were still perched on his face and did a high step because the glasses are a +275 correction. It was so funny. He stopped and pawed them off. Hahahaha
