The Training section is my favorite area of the website. I am a huge fan of clicker training and have compiled a nice selection of links. Gary Wilkes is a must read. He is knowledgeable and as funny as all get out. In addition, I don't show my dogs and learning about obedience helps me understand my dogs and gives me something I can do with them. I also plan to expand this area soon. I haven't done much surfing on the net lately, but I bet lots of new information is just out there waiting for me.
