A few weeks ago I receive an invitation from a client of mine to join a Facebook group dedicated to canine conditioning and training.  I'm not much of one to participate in such things, but I figured I should accept the invitation and if need be, I could always leave the group if it was too crazy.  What I have found about being on this group so far, is that it is really interesting to see what these sport-dog folks are asking, thinking, doing, and wanting.  And from that perspective alone, it's been worthwhile to be a lurker (and more recently, an occasional poster too).

But what I want to talk about this week pertains to a discussion that has come up in regards to taking time off / away from sport.
