REALITY- or... How John Kennedy found fame and fortune at Bosen Kinder Hundesport, the Unofficial Biography

Always start your day with a light warm up... Say, a few beginner dogs?

Before moving on to the intermediate dogs-

5 more and we'll break for lunch.

You think I worked your ass off this morning?  Yeah, okay, ha ha ha.

Its only a PUPPY for Christ's sake. (ROTFLMAO) MOVE MOVE MOVE!

I am NOT a puppy and this ISN'T my first rodeo. Comin' atcha Pal.

Its getting dark and I'm hungry. Can you be here by 6 am tomorrow?

Hey KID! Maybe we'll get a chance to work YOUR dog tomorrow.

Very nicely put together.

Certain...mustaches are awesome. See above, Two Moons and Sam Elliot. Some men with pencil thin staches, look like child molesters, not the look you want for turning the ladies on.

oooooo, sam elliot! now there's a voice i wouldn't mind hearing in the dark (if i was single of course).

Hi all,

i don´t know where the problem is, there is a young guy, he like to learn the hard business of a helper and some of these nice humans here on this board, destroys the beginning of him with unqualified commentars.

Is this the "american way of life"???, shame on the bad poster´s!!!

Give me these " little John" and in a half year, with more experience of him , you have to pay a lot for his action.

Hi is willing, he is well balanced, he is a slim one and he like to be helper, the rest is only with the dog-handlers, to give him some older dogs for learning.

The last helper, that we teached was a 40 years old guy and from  the willing to be a helper to today ,we need only one year to teach him to the Landesgroup-Level.

Hey John, let them talk, go to some interesting seminars, look video-tapes for to learn the right movement of a helper, read books and think about why the dog shows you some attitudes. for sure you will not have the right answers from yourself, talk with old dog-sport-people.Ask and ask them a lot, in our sport we have no stupid questions, we have only stupid answers, because every dog is a specific type of dog.

Now we become old and fat, after 30 years of dog-sport and i think my beginning was not better than yours or of my new helper.

John, head up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Look the video of these 40 year old guy and enjoy his helperwork from "0" to his work of today with my old male.

We had also a lot of funny situations, but it´s not allowed, for nobody, to laugh about, or to talk bad about him.

Again, keep up the good work and try allways your very best.

Amen and merry christmas, i hope my english was good enough for to understand, what i want to tell you and the rest of the board.

Kind Regards

Andreas

Shelley, do you ever be quiet?

Isa,

Thank you for the advice. Trust me, I do ask a lot of questions. I even mark them down in a notebook so I can go back and look at them again.

Kind regards,

John Kennedy

Nice work, Shelley. Sorry if I might understood the intend wrong.

I dont know the persons involved or the stories behind , but to me this shows that helper work is a god darn hard job. Wish there would be more young guys learning it. Yet it doesnt pay, its unforgiven and you "may" get bit in the process. Actual you will get bit for sure at some time. You not just have to keep an eye on the dog, but on the handler too. I respect everyone who puts on a sleeve and trys hard and honestly to work the dog. Looks like we need more John's.

 Shellely:

Nice put together.

Oh also the pic of yop holding back your dog... pardon my forwardness but...NICE GAMS!!!!!

Good for you John.  It's difficult and without people willing to do the helper work those of us wanting to work dogs would be nowhere.
