2 Day Obedience Seminar
Don’t Say The “D” Word is a two-day seminar that will show attendees how to break each exercise down and drill the pieces with a motivational and positive approach that can keep training and campaigning fun, all the while, still putting in the required repetition needed to help you and your dog increase your qualifying success. Attendees will work through Novice, Open and Utility exercises, so a retrieve is mandatory for working attendees. All workers and auditors will get the workbook that comes with this seminar.
Is That A Chicken!? Chicken Camp / August 14th – 16th
3 Day Workshop / IAABC ~ CCPDT ~ KPA CEU’s available
“Chicken camp” is designed to give those who teach dogs (or any other species), those who teach humans to teach dogs, and those who teach and lead humans the knowledge and skills to create precise behaviors in a positive and creative environment.
Instructors take the participants through the theory of learning, and immediately put the concepts to use with the chicken flock. Chickens are very literal and unforgiving. Timing a little off ?? They will let you know! Push them a little hard – they will flap their wings and leave!
This 3-Day workshop is lead by Sally Dickinson BS, KPA-PDT, and Kathleen Kelsey MS both nationally recognized professional trainers, with more than 30 years experience each.
