This information-packed seminar with Steve White turns
Police K9 training on its head to help you, the dog owner, handler or trainer!
This two-day workshop will focus on developing handler skills that will build a
stronger relationship with your K9 companion and deepen the animal-human bond
using the methods that Steve has taught to police canine units across the
country.
In addition, Steve will explore canine body language and how the
recognition of subtle changes in the dog can help to alter your training methods
to achieve optimum performance. You'll learn new ways to read canine behavior
and how to control stimuli--the triggers that effect behavior. (Are you working
with a dog that always barks, or lunges at every child, old person with a walker
or other dogs?). After reviewing what K9 trainers look for in police dogs when
they stimulate aggression, you will learn seven steps to reading any dog.
By
practicing with video clips and watching Steve with live dogs, you'll see the
value of "thin-slicing" the information dogs and their people give you. It's a
simple, effective, seven-step model (incorporating positive reinforcement) for
helping dogs, owners and trainers to resolve behavior problems, while avoiding
the two most common mistakes trainers make when problem solving. Among which are
asking more than the dog can deliver and not gathering sufficiently detailed
information before proceeding. Technically, you'll be learning all about "triggers" and "thresholds" of behavior--and how understanding them can make you
anticipate situations that you used to dread.
