From the desk of Tarma Shena
I received a two star review on my pamphlet, Jumping on the Bandwagon. I take these things seriously and have been mulling over it ever since. I hope this finds her.
You were disappointed in the information that was not included and felt that rather than suggesting that “you look it up” I should have put it in the book. I thought about that when I was writing it.
Information is subject to change. That was my entire motivation in leaving out certain things. This pamphlet or workbook will never become outdated. Like any good tool I wanted it to remain useful.
Now, here is where we will have to disagree, and I quote.
“There really wasn’t much in the “book” that wasn’t common sense.”
I do not know what planet you are living on but I hope you will reach out to me. I have my bags packed and a multitude of followers who would be happy to get off the ride that this current celestial body is providing in the hopes of settling down in a place where things like educated customers and responsible breeders are commonplace and one can rest assured that everyone is born with the necessary skills to make good decisions.
I have to admit the possibility of finding a place where I do not have to sort through backyard breeders, people who claim to be farmers and yet assure you that they thought their dogs were “too young to breed”, and scammers trying to make a quick buck taking deposits on dogs that belong to someone else or do not exist at all sounds too good to be true.
What you don’t know is that in our program, we train people, not dogs, and the best thing about that “book” is the number of calls I’ve had from people asking for clarification, or more information. I have had some great conversations with people all over the country. From little farms just starting out to established homesteads looking to take the next step.
Why? Because they knew how to follow directions, how to put in a little effort to get the best results. Like minded people who know that a little hard work now means you reap the benefits for a long time to come.
I understand this isn’t for everyone. If you did not return it, I’d happily refund the purchase price with no hard feelings. If you’re still looking for more information, call me.
