A Loss to the Dog Training World

Dick Russell passed away on the morning of January 6th 2011.   I didn't know him at all.   His name, his wisdom, his love of dogs, and creativity in finding balanced, gentle, and clear ways to train dogs are familiar to me in his articles, the articles of others, and to my early introduction to dog training.  Mr Russell had the attention of many other well respected trainers.

I think the above gallery sums up why many us love dogs and being with our dogs.   This is what being a dog should be all about as often as possible.
