It is finally here, the winter solstice! These short days are killer for trying to work and train dogs. The days are now getting longer though. I do a combination of things in order to train on these short winter days; going in to work early so I can train after, going in late so I can train early, and doing some yard training in the dark. The days are getting longer though! I did live about 30 miles below the artic circle for six month many years ago. I saw the longest and shortest days of the year there. All I can say is that I’m glad I don’t live there now.
