Thank you Zack for coming all the way up to northeast Ohio and sharing your knowledge. We all came away more skilled than we were two days ago (both dogs and humans!).

Thank you @bitingbitchh for putting this all together, for a wonderful dinner, and as always for the footage and photos. taken in Warren, Ohio by @burkeza

Lincoln — AS3, PSA2! 🏆🔥 #13

Where do I even start?! From the beginning…

When Lincoln was young, we heard, “Are you really going to keep him?”

Later, it became, “He’ll never get a PSA2.”

Well… look at him now.

This dog has accomplished literally everything we’ve ever asked of him. Our first sport dog — and the dog we fucked up in more ways than we’d probably like to admit. 😂 But through every mistake, every setback, and every challenge, Lincoln just kept showing up.

He is resilient as hell, with drive for days. He’s overcome so much in his life and never let any of it slow him down. It wasn’t always easy for him, and it definitely wasn’t always easy for us, but that makes everything he’s accomplished mean that much more.

Lincoln has taught us more than we could ever put into words. He made us better handlers, better trainers, and better dog people.

He’s the dog every dog after him will always be compared to.

And Tara — Lincoln wouldn’t have accomplished anything close to what he has without your drive, dedication, and discipline. His success is a direct reflection of YOU. You never gave up on him. You believed in him, pushed him, challenged him, and always asked for more, even when it wasn’t easy.

You two earned every bit of this together.

AS3. PSA2. And one hell of a dog.

So damn proud of both of you. ❤️ #13

A few catches from the trial I stepped into last minute! I have focused on competing the last few years, but I do miss decoying trials a lot. But time does come for us all at some point, but I’ll hit pause on the clock as much as possible! 😈Thanks for everyone who trusted me stepping in! Dogs are Truman, Quiet and Nixon in that order! All great dogs with fantastic handlers! Thank you to @bitingk9photography for booking me up with the videos! 🙏 by @burkeza

I will never have another first working dog.
And Augie is beyond special.
We are both competitive.
But he makes me look good. He is so forgiving when I make mistakes and I don’t know that I will ever have another dog like him.
This dog, this sport and his power has humbled me beyond belief.

Although I was sad we did not pass, watching these videos back, Augie truly had a blast. Being around great people and great dogs makes everything better!

Thank you @trippbetrippn_ for making the trek up and supporting something you might not understand but was there for me when I had a mini meltdown at the car 🤣
