Nancy Freedman-Smith, dog trainer and owner of Gooddogz Training, provides a place for dog owners to find positive training tips, canine-activities and places to visit along with the latest information on keeping your dog healthy and active. Nancy lives with her three young kids, Charlee and Finney the dogs, Yellow the parakeet and Tater-Tot the Hamster. Staying current, keeping fresh, and always learning new things is a must for Nancy and her profession because one thing that animals surely teach you is "the more you know, the more you know you don't know."
Camp Buster part 1
For the third year in a row, Camp Buster was a blast, and a great time was had by all. I am already formulating a camp song (can't believe we don't already have one!), and working on next year's skit for the talent show. All the dogs and their people got along famously, and if you haven't tasted Brenda's cooking, and especially if you have, buy the Camp Buster Cook Book when it becomes available. A doggie weekend and gourmet food, how great is that!
The only bad thing about the weekend, was that my camera malfunctioned, and that means no pictures! But I do have several campers sending me pics that I will be posting on the Maine Today Seen page real soon. For now, check out Holly's great pictures over at the ever fabulous DownEast Dog News.
Click here to see the Down East Dog photos and yes that is me with Charlee drinking out of the water fountain.
Publisher/photographer Holly Sherburne was one of my many cabin mates, and I know we will be seeing her back at camp next year.
For the third year in row, I returned as Barks 'n Crafts director and this year we made paw print tiles and decorated bait bags. It has been suggested to me by many people that I should add my duties at Camp Buster to my resume!!!
One of the best things about Camp Buster is that you can do everything or nothing at all and still have a great time with your dog.
And three cheers for my new pup Finney who passed his AKC CGC test at camp with flying colors.
It is not too early to plan for next year, and we expect to be full up by early spring.

Yes, Camp Buster was great fun and a camp song is definitely in order! I'll put on my thinking cap.
One of my favorite activities was watching the dogs playing and swimming on the beach. Pat's Papillons even went in for a swim!

Camp Buster was the best mini vacation/fundraiser I have ever participated in. Camp Susan Curtis is a beautiful setting and Brenda's food was the best. A special thanks to her staff who worked behind the scenes in the kitchen - thank you all too. Great people, awesome dogs and more laughs than I have had in years. Sign me up for next year. Loves the camp song idea-you go Nancy!
