		<description><![CDATA[Last year, on the 25th of November, I wrote this post to the Versatile English Cocker Yahoo! group to celebrate Casey&#8217;s 15th birthday. I wanted to celebrate my old man while he was still enjoying life, rather than post a long memorial to the list on the day that he died. That day was last [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I commented today (twice) on a blog written by Laurie Luck called the Smart Dog blog, on a post called &#8220;A surprising look at balanced dog training.&#8221; Many trainers become familiar with operant conditioning at some point in their training lives &#8211; and the shorthand for positive reinforcement (R+), negative reinforcement (R-), positive punishment (P+) [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[People love rules. And dog trainers love routines. Can you remember those old obedience class homework handouts: practice 15 automatic sits, heel forward with three left turns and three right turns, practice two fasts and two slows, practice sit/stay for three minutes and down/stay for five minutes on lead with distractions. I can. Taped each [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Madison and I have been working on her play skills &#8211; every day, a couple encouraged and praised tosses and retrieves of her favorite toy, the ginormous Nylaknot left in the toybox by the gordon setters. I&#8217;m still focused on trying to reward the right behavior (and not commit CRAP training &#8211; constantly rewarding &#8216;almost&#8217; [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It happened so fast that I couldn&#8217;t capture it on film. I said, as I&#8217;ve said to the southern belle several times a day for the last 38 months, &#8216;Where&#8217;s your toy?
