This is the guy who has been teaching my border collie, Airlie, (and me) how to herd sheep for the last several years. He's truly remarkable in his ability to sense and work with the individual strengths and weakness of just about any dog. Airlie had been declared untrainable by more than one well known trainer. Wink has turned Airlie from a hard-eyed bitch to a sheep-herding hard-eyed bitch. Moreover, he has helped Airlie perform and, dare I say, enjoy the job for which she was bred. Airlie and I owe him a lot. (Unfortunately, Wink gave up on me years ago -- "bleary-eyed idiot", or something like that).

For those of you who have read Jon Katz' books on his dogs, this is the Wink who Katz turned to several times for advice with his dogs' problems.
