I loved the way he got things across though - a great sense of humour and kindness for dogs and owners alike

I might get that one. Is this the same book?; http://www.crosskeysbooks.com/diary-...ty-dog-doctor/
Just checking its the same.....is it his own reflections etc or would I still learn something about dogs from this?

Probably only at agility shows for short periods
I so wanted to meet him. Apparently, he got an award for being - aagh, something like "the best of men" which he was quietly pleased about.
I just love the way he wanted to know so much, he was interested in the way I taught severely handicapped kids as well---there are so many parallels I went on a course once and it was hard to know if it was for dogs or kids. The behaviour programmes and reward systems and writing programmes etc are very similar/.
I would have loved to see him be part of "today". I know he'd bring balance, fun, understanding and just good dog training with him
Oh so much---so sad he died but i expect he is still interested! Wys

Worth reading though, as it veers from humourous to sad and back again - and some of it is just plain funny
