After a brutal summer, cooler weather has finally arrived for many of us, and it certainly makes training and running our classes more enjoyable. I know I have sure perked up! You will find much important information in this issue of the News, so I hope you'll take time to read what has been contributed. Please pay special attention to the report in the Board Highlights. I hope members are taking advantage of the "upgrade promotion" that our Membership Committee has running right now. If you have been thinking you need to add that certification Speaking of Linda, kudos go out to her for the "click and treat" promotion she put into play recently. Thanks also to all members who made a special effort to promote NADOI by mentioning us in their signature lines, bios, articles, blogs, and elsewhere. This kind of publicity costs us nothing, yet is very effective. Let's all keep it up! And speaking of ways to get our organization name out, as well as garner publicity for our businesses and clubs, check out the info on "Pets-Life" in this News issue, then join. We are so fortunate to be getting in on the ground floor of this social media platform, and will be the exclusive "professional" instructing organization there. After many years of dedication, Phyllis Delvin has resigned her post as managing editor of ForwarD, our award-winning publication. I would like to thank Phyllis, on behalf of all our members, for her hard work, insight, and creativity on this magazine. I am very excited to announce that Niki Tudge will take the helm, and I am very sure that we can expect to see some wonderful things in the future. Niki's background in both business and writing will serve us all well. In order to give Niki and her staff some time to make the changeover, a fall issue won't be published. ForwarD will resume Continued on page 3 Page 2 of 11 NADOI News November / December 2011 Officers: President: Helen Cariotis [email protected] 1st Vice President: Barbara Lewis [email protected] 2nd Vice President: Sharon Hildebrand [email protected] Treasurer: Gwen Chaney [email protected] Recording Secretary: Vikki Youngmeyer [email protected] Corresponding Secretary: Janice Brennan [email protected] Board of Directors: Margery West [email protected] Bill Burt [email protected] Fran Tardif [email protected] Marlene Stachowiak [email protected] Margie English [email protected] [email protected] Who to Contact: Executive Director: Jan Gribble PO Box 1439 Socorro, NM 87801 (505) 850-5957 [email protected] Web Page: http://www.nadoi.org E-Mail: [email protected] NADOI NEWS is the official publication of the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF DOG OBEDIENCE INSTRUCTORS, INC., and is published bimonthly.

IMPORTANT NOTICE THE NEWS IS FOR MEMBERS ONLY The News will be sent via Constant Contact to members and will also be available in a pdf format on the member only section of our website Please ensure you have a valid e-mail address on record with NADOI to receive the News and other important notifications Page 3 of 11 NADOI News with a winter issue. I would also like to thank our executive director, Jan Gribble, for all her assistance with ForwarD recently, and I am sure she and Phyllis will be on hand for any help that Niki might need. Please contribute articles to Forward, or if you know a nonmember who might be a good contributor, contact Niki. Jan Gribble has gotten boxes and boxes of old NADOI records, rosters, letters and committee files from Vikki Youngmeyer, our recording secretary. She is in the process of sifting through it all, cataloging items and archiving them so that they will be preserved for future NADOI members. Unfortunately, she is missing many of the "old things," i.e. the pre-1976 documents, as well as almost all of the issues of the News. If you have any of the older News issues, rosters, info on who was president or on the board, where and when annual meetings were held and who the presenters were, PLEASE send them on to Jan. She can scan them and return them if you don't want to donate them. Preserving our long history is so important, so let's see if we can fill in some of the blanks for her. Our CE committee consisting of Margery West (chair), Vikki Youngmeyer, and Gwen Chaney, have worked hard and compiled a form explaining our continuing education process, many ways to acquire continuing ed credits, and how to list what you have earned. This form will be sent out with upcoming dues notices, as well as being on our web site. Because our members felt that this was such an important issue, the board recently approved a continuing education requirement for members, and those fulfilling the requirements will be listed as "CEC" or Continuing Education Current. 36 "units" will be required over a 3year period. At this time, CE units are not required of retired and provisional members. Don't forget to check out the info on our upcoming 2012 annual meeting in Springfield, MO. Go to our web site for a flyer and registration form. Plan to attend now! November / December 2011 As always, I extend my thanks to those members who step up to assist NADOI, promote NADOI, and recruit new members to NADOI. I encourage any member who wants to become more active in our organization to contact me or our executive director. There is so much that needs to be done. As I have talked about here before, NADOI is in a pivotal time right now, and will go forward successfully only with the help and participation of our members. It truly is our choice. Last, but certainly not least, I was very saddened to learn of the passing of a NADOI icon, Charlotte Schwartz. Please read about her in this issue. I was fortunate to meet Charlotte and also enjoyed some long telephone conversations with her, and received some wonderful letters. She didn't have much use for e-mail! She was always nice to me, but not shy about telling me what I needed to be doing, whether in my business or serving NADOI. Charlotte was truly a NADOI "treasure." It's my wish that you all have a blessed holiday season, find enjoyment with family, friends, and beloved dogs, and enjoy continued success with your training and your classes. Best wishes to all, Helen NEWS AND UPDATES The Fall issue of ForwarD will not be published. The new editor, Niki, Tudge, will take over ForwarD with the Winter issue. Jessi Queen has resigned as a Director of the Board. Results of the Click-Treat Raffle are in this issue of the News. Remember to check out the Anthology on our website. A new Notes article is added monthly. Page 4 of 11 NADOI News November / December 2011 In Memoriam: CHARLOTTE SCHWARTZ, #119 C/N/L By Jan Gribble #925 C/N Charlotte Schwartz June 26, 1929 to September 5, 2011 NADOI recently lost a valued member with Charlotte Schwartz ‘ death. Charlotte was a life member of NADOI, having served the organization in many ways over the years. Charlotte wrote a regular column, That One Particular Person, for ForwarD, NADOI’s quarterly publication. It seems only appropriate to dedicate this memorial article to That One Particular Person: Charlotte Schwartz. When I was collecting remembrances of Charlotte, fellow NADOI member Marlene Stachowiak had the following to say: “Charlotte loved NADOI almost as much as she enjoyed teaching classes. She told me she planned on teaching as long as she lives. She reached that goal.” 2010 photo of Charlotte with her new car. She made the purse she is carrying. Charlotte’s involvement with dogs began very early in her life. The below photo is of Charlotte at age two. expertise through her involvement in NADOI has benefited us all. Many members commented on how they looked forward to each issue of ForwarD where they would read Charlotte’s column first. Charlotte’s rapport with both her students and their dogs shines in every column. Several members have memories of interacting with Charlotte at NADOI Annual Meetings or on various committees. She was seen as “wellinformed, opinionated and most often right!” Chris McKelvey remembers Charlotte teaching her how to gamble during a riverboat night while both were in St. Louis at a NADOI conference. While many of our members were not fortunate enough to have met Charlotte in person, her willingness to share her knowledge and Charlotte ran Brandy Lane D.T.S in New Jersey for many years. During this period of time Charlotte became the mentor and teacher of long-time NADOI member Nancy Brayton. Nancy recalls that Charlotte was using food in training long before anyone else and people would laugh at her. It worked though, as under Charlotte’s tutelage, Nancy put OTCHs on two shepherds and had the first OTCH MACH in the country. When Charlotte tired of the New Jersey winters and moved to Ft. Myers, Florida, she turned Brandy Lane D.T.S. over to Nancy. Page 5 of 11 NADOI News November / December 2011 Nancy remembers Charlotte teaching her to use her imagination when training and to be willing to try a new approach when something wasn’t working. Despite the fact that Charlotte did make the transition from a typewriter to a computer, she preferred to write her letters by hand rather than e-mail. Although Charlotte did trial, she was not as interested in training for competition as she was in promoting bonds between dogs and their owners. Charlotte was a tireless advocate for the human-animal bond. She was always willing to help a fellow NADOI member and several members sent their puppy-buyers, and even family members, to Charlotte for assistance in training. She stayed active in other ways as well. Charlotte quilted and friends and families were the recipients of her beautiful quilts. One of her quilts can be viewed on her memorial page: www.valleyoflife.com/charlotteschwartz. One of Charlotte’s students in Ft. Myers, became a close friend. When Annette Arnold called me to tell me of Charlotte’s death, we had a wonderful conversation about Charlotte and her impact upon those who knew her. Annette first met Charlotte when she enrolled her poodle, LillyAnn, in a class. LillyAnn was from a less than reputable breeder and health issues resulted in her being euthanized shortly after the class. Not to be deterred, Annette obtained another poodle and enrolled in another class. She eventually became Charlotte’s assistant in classes. Charlotte’s beloved black toy poodle Berry now makes his home with Annette. Charlotte exemplified the best of NADOI – she believed strongly in humane training and in the value of education. When she moved to Florida, unlike most people who retire to Florida, Charlotte continued to train and teach. She offered classes through Coral Vet Clinic and continued to write. While many NADOI members know that Charlotte was a prolific writer of dog books and articles, probably not many know that she also wrote romance novels! Sue Hill, a NADOI member from Australia, wrote the following: I first made contact with Charlotte in 1979 when I applied to NADOI to become a member, Charlotte who was education officer at the time quickly realised I did not have the qualifications necessary to become a member and so offered to help me by sending general training information and lesson plans from her school, Brandy Lane. After a year of constant contact she invited me to visit the U.S to stay with her and learn firsthand about her training methods and so began a long and fulfilling friendship spanning over 30 years. In 1980 I stayed with Charlotte for 3 weeks during which time she gave freely of her knowledge and spent many hours filling my head with wondrous new ideas about all aspects of training. I was like a sponge soaking up as much information as I could stack into my brain in a short time. Page 6 of 11 NADOI News Previously the only way I had known how to train was with abusive, and very negative methods. It had been the ruination of a very normal dog that had made me question the method I had been using and that surely there had to be another and better way to train, one shouldn't have to ruin a dog to achieve obedience titles. During my initial stay in America I attended Charlotte's View from the Floor and it was that weekend which convinced me that this was the way for me to go in the future. It was as if someone had turned on a very bright light bulb. With Charlotte's long range support, I came home to Tasmania, Australia and at Charlotte's request began to train from scratch a young German Shepherd pup I had bred and who had had no training prior to my U.S. trip. In 9 months Zargan had earned his CD, CDX and was ready to compete in his first UD Trial when he died unexpectedly of bloat aged at about 20 months. I had begun to take students and form classes and with Charlotte's help and many phone calls I had got myself and the school organised. My students soon began trialing their dogs and collected scores which had never been seen before. People were amazed at how happy these dogs were and how precisely they worked. Surely it was some trick, it had been suggested that we had secret things attached to our body - like food hidden in socks!! It was not long before I felt it was time to go back to Brandy Lane and make sure I was still on track with teaching methods, and it was on that return trip that Charlotte very quietly told me I was now ready to apply for membership to NADOI.! I brought the application forms home and then began the long procedure to answer the exam questions which were later sent. Because our rules were different, I supplied rule books for the examiners and with fingers crossed my papers were sent. November / December 2011 A few months later Charlotte made the first of many visits to Australia and brought with her my NADOI membership certificate which today hangs in pride of place in my training room!! Charlotte presented her View from the Floor at my school, and as we say here, she knocked quite a few people for six. I had invited everyone who I knew was involved with dog training to attend. There were many doubters of course, but after a while those people found they had been left behind and so many later sought my help, and today they still carry the message. I started several schools in various areas of this State, teaching people who had come to me and who were proficient with their own dogs. When I knew they could manage I handed over the schools to them and they continue to run today. Charlotte was an extraordinarily generous person who gave freely of her knowledge to anyone who asked. Her attitude to life was to be envied, her clarity of thinking, her logic, her wisdom, she expected only the best and in return received only the best. I spent much time with her over the years. both here in Australia where she did much of her writing in the office I set up for her in my home and now use as my own. Her company during those hours of writing was George a white sulphur crested cockatoo which I had given her one Christmas. Her dog companion was my shepherd Degen who decided Charlotte was great company and while she was here, would spend hours in the office with George pecking at his hair. Charlotte for some years spent 6 months in Australia, leaving her winter months to enjoy our summer climate and in the 6 months between visits, I would often join her for short periods of time when we would do seminars together. When she was with me she taught classes in my school, she went bird watching, she did a calligraphy course which I was brow beaten to attend with her!! and we spent many happy weekends at my beachside house where Charlotte in the evening cooked chicken and Page 7 of 11 NADOI News steaks on the barbecue and enjoyed her pre dinner HOT Bloody Mary The hotter the better she would say as she tipped in the tabasco sauce. Charlotte will be remembered by many people in Australia, and her influence has spread widely as she improved the life of many hundreds of dogs. When I received Brett, her grandson's phone call at 3 am, I knew sadly I had lost my greatest friend and mentor. My promise is, I will carry on her ideals to the best of my ability, and I will continue to make dogs lives better. November / December 2011 Rest in Peace my friend. Sue Hill Charlotte had many achievements during her lifetime but the most lasting will be the legacy she has left to her family and many friends. Lives of countless dogs (and their owners) have been improved because of Charlotte’s willingness to continue to learn and share that knowledge. We are all richer for having known her.
