Being a professional dog trainer requires a high level of patience, planning, and persistence with whatever breed that’s being worked. But it’s more than just working with dogs.
Because dogs will be going back to their owners, quality dog trainers also make sure to educate those owners, so the time and work invested in the dog training sticks. Working with people – the owners – also requires a high level of patience, planning, and persistence.
Minnesota’s nearly 18 million acres of forest provide habitat for critters, clean water and air, recreational opportunities, and a steady flow of wood products. They also absorb and store heat-trapping gases that are making our winters warmer and rainfalls stronger.
When forests grow, they absorb carbon dioxide – the main heat-trapping gas released by tailpipes and smokestacks. They store it as carbon in leaves, branches, trunks, roots, soils, and wood products.

Congress has approved two measures to undo federal protections for the lesser prairie chicken and northern long-eared bat – two endangered animals that have seen their populations plummet over the years.

Fishing is downright tough right now. The bite has slowed immensely, and they’re few and far between. We anglers have for decades relied on spinner rigs to trigger walleyes to get a reaction bite, and that’s where we’re at in early August.
