Hello my name is Christina Brewster and I am a professional dog trainer who has a passion on how dogs think and perceive the world. I am a training partner with Chiron K9 and I am a certified Predation Substitution Instructor. The type of dog training I do is off leash detection but a lot of what it takes to have a great and dependable off leash detection dog are skills every dog can benefit from knowing. A big concern for both working dogs and pet dogs is chasing wildlife. A dog that is interested in chasing wildlife can find themselves in dangerous situations. They could run into traffic, they can get their gear caught up in branches, they can become impaled by branches or the animal itself, they can find themselves lost for extended periods, etc. Instead of getting frustrated and suppressing the dog’s quality of life I want to help owners, handlers and other trainers understand what is happening in their dog and how to redirect it in a safe way. “Frustration begins where knowledge ends” - Clinton Anderson

Very early morning to you all. I apologize for being away for a few days. Things have been busy and trying to figure out Skool has been fun. I have a hard time accepting the imperfections when it comes to presenting information so I did a ridiculous amount of retakes on my first recording for my classroom. I had asked for advice and afterwards felt not so alone on this feeling so decided to just go for it. There’s more to come and I hope you enjoy.

This morning I had plans to sleep in a little since I work late into the night (I'm in veterinary urgent care) and then this morning I was going to take my dogs to a nearby field to film some footage for my “About” page. I get out of bed and go to open the front door to let my dogs out to relieve themselves and it is just fog🌫️. SO MUCH FOG! I can’t film in this weather so what am I to do? I checked the weather app and it says that the sun should come out midafternoon. I decided to use this time to do some things I haven’t been able to get to: sweep and steam mop the floor (almost in vain with 3 dogs), deep clean some of the bathroom, put away laundry, actually have breakfast not in a rush and work on the description of my about page. Life and dog training are a lot alike. It is beneficial to learn how to be flexible and adjust criteria to have success. Life is what you make it. Nothing is set in stone.

Good morning everyone! I set my alarm for 0600 and actually got up and out of bed. I went on a run with my dogs then took them to a field to do some whistle work and hunt drills with them. They did very well! I am glad I didn’t hit snooze (more than once)! I have work later today and will be doing a 10 hour shift so will be a late night but I feel like I have already accomplished so much today. How is your morning going?
