His success was overwhelming to the point that our local AKC kennel club changed their rules, eliminating unregistered dogs from competition. In fact, there was so much resentment that Rowdy was out performing registered dogs that the Michigan State AKC Kennel Club followed suit and refused to allow unregistered dogs to compete in their obedience trials.
Rowdy was the first dog that I knew of that repetedly earned perfect scores of 200, including 2 trials that were performed outdoors, where various distractions effected the performance of most contenders.
Due to Rowdy being disqualified from competition, I set out to offer my training methods to anyone who had a dog and numerous students went on to successfully competing in local competition.
After many years of sitting on my hands, I have decided to publish my training methods and help others to develop obedient and happy companions.
I am now retired and live in Sunnyvale, California with my wife of 52 years and where I work part time as a security officer. My one daughter, son in law and 3 grandchildren live nearby and serve to fulfill my life.view less
