WORK SHOPS
that I have taught
- FAMILY DOG
OBEDIENCE WORKSHOP
Did you know that walking your dog will help eliminate problem
behaviors? Did you know that a fearful dog can be helped to be
confident and an outgoing dog can be brought under control? Did you
know you can cure a dog of separation anxiety? Did you know that how
you feel and how you respond to things affects your dog?
This work shop focuses on what works for dogs, how dogs function,
what is really going through their heads, and how to use this
information to raise and train the good family dog. This workshop
addresses problem behaviors in dogs from jumping up to biting, and
what works best to teach and/or rehabilitate the family canine. This
work shop focuses on single family dog or the multiple family of
dogs. This workshop also addresses obedience problems such as
bolting and running away, coming when called (no matter what), sit,
down and stay.
Besides the average family dog owner, this is an excellent workshop
for instructors on affective training of both dogs and people.
-
COMPETITION OBEDIENCE WORKSHOP
This workshop focus on understanding the connection between the
handler and the dog. How thinking and acting "Dog," makes for a deep
bond of understanding and teamwork. This can be a workshop by itself
or combined.
- GAMES THAT
TRAIN WORKSHOP
Did you know you can teach scent work and directed jumping to a
puppy? This is a fun workshop for dogs and people. I show you how to
teach novice open and utility exercises while playing with your dog.
This is a great workshop for pups as well as older dogs.
- NOVICE
WORKSHOP
Novice is all about foundation work, starting with respectful
awareness of the owner and/or trainer. Learn to move in sync with
each other. Learn to make a meaningful connection with your dog.
Learn how to teach your dog to "Watch," "In," "Back," "move close,
move away, and much more. Learn how to keep your dog's attention on
you, when the real world interrupts. Learn to address and solve
problems effectively, from heeling to sit stays and beyond.
- OPEN
WORKSHOP
This workshop helps first time dog trainers learn the ins and
outs of Open, from the dumbbell retrieve to out of sight sits and
downs. This workshop focuses on breaking each exercise down into
easy to understand pieces, proofing and problem solving along the
way. Learn to teach the dumbbell, quickly and correctly from the
start, to avoid chewing, rolling, playing, and dropping. Learn to
down your dog quickly on command anywhere, to teach a reliable drop
on recall.
This workshop is also for the advanced trainer that wants a better
approach for their next dog, or wants to address problems with their
current Open dog.
- UTILITY
WORKSHOP
This work shop is for the novice, just learning, or the advanced
owner, training and polishing the utility dog. The workshop focuses
on breaking each exercise down into simple understandable pieces for
both the dog and handler. This workshop also focuses on proofing and
problem solving.
