Charlie is from a line of VCs and I have never owned a dog. We are learning together. I created this channel as a way of sharing videos with a friend/pro trainer so he could help by providing feedback after my family & I moved overseas when Charlie was 11 months old. Upon reflection, I am especially thankful I recorded these sessions as I think they will be valuable tools down the road when I train my next dog, but I do wish I had more videos of the training we did before we moved (recall, whoa post, field work, steadiness on birds, etc...). Charlie is an exceptional dog. Her ability to quickly learn, and apply new skills in different environments is truly impressive. Any shortcomings in her performance are singularly a reflection on me and my nascent skill as a trainer and handler. I have much to improve on, and I am certain anyone with more experience can quickly point those areas out. Again, I made this channel to help our training. If it also helps you, that is even better.
