Well guys, I think it's time I addressed this.

Those of you who really followed this page may have noticed that I just dropped off real suddenly over the past year.

I have not done any in home sessions in almost a year, and while I still help with some Board and Trains for Classy Cuts K9 Training, it's on a very limited basis.

Many things led to this, but the long and short of it is... I am burned out. This is surprisingly hard to admit, because I do love dogs and I love teaching people, but I just can't bring myself to do it like I was doing it anymore.

The hardest part about admitting this, especially to other dog lovers, is I have no idea why. Was it the death of Lily? Was it the lack of business for such a long stretch? Was it the transition to a new career path? Am I not cut out to own my own business? Probably it's a culmination of all these things and more.

I will never stop training dogs forever. And no matter where I am in life, I am a born teacher of people. I am not a "I train dogs because I don't like people" kind of guy. I LOVE people!

But I am officially taking some time off to shed this burn out. My hope is to come back in a different way, but better than ever!

Stay tuned, because I will still post and create content, maybe with more of a focus on my dogs and what we're doing together.

Thank you for all your support!!

PS: There's a few people in my inbox with some requests. Please reach out to Patrick Thompson of Classy Cuts K9 Training for immediate concerns, and I will try to work my way through messages in the next few weeks.

Well I did the thing. 🐷

I didn’t break any speed records, but I ran the whole 5k. 🏃‍♂️

Just wanted to stop here and thank my psycho dog for training me this time. No matter how far I run, she’s always like “good warmup Dad, what’s next?” 😅

Guess we’ll just have to find out if training for a 10k will be enough for her. 🤷‍♂️
