Questions & Wrap up
There are Working Spots (train with your dog) as well as “Lab Assistants” (attend without a dog but still interactive) open. Bring a friend and be on the same training team!
This seminar is perfect for pet dog trainers, Shelter staff, Zoo and exotic trainers, sports/competition enthusiasts or hobby trainers that just want a better relationship with their dog. Deepen your understanding of the science of cues, signals and commands to be a better trainer and communicator with your animal. Clear Understanding + Effective Training = Better Results.
