Congratulations Jenny.

It was a very moving moment when the award was announced at the APDT conference dinner. She seemed to be a very popular winner. I'd only just met her the night before. The conference was great BTW - Nicole Wilde is an excellent speaker, Ian Dunbar was in good form and the other speakers were good too.

Yep congrats to Jenny Judson, it is lovely to see her passion for the Delta CGC award for dogs, how many hours she puts into that, and many other aspects of training.

We were just remarking today about how much we enjoyed Nicole Wilde - very down to earth - and quite humble about the fab books she has written. Which reminds me to go look for her fearful dog book.

I also sat in on Kelly Gorman's 'Open Paw 4' shelter program, setting minimum mental health requirements for dogs in shelters, she was a great speaker too and inspiring to hear her work.

A pretty good standard set for my first ever APDT conference!

Mel.
