PROBLEM SOLVING & PAY THAT DOG! – 2 UNIQUE WORKSHOPS

We are incredibly excited and honored to host Craig Schultz and Gregory Strickland from the K9 Behavior Consortium for two excellent and highly sought after seminars.

Both of these courses are aimed at training the trainer, but there will be working spots available for both courses. Note that both of these courses have a large classroom component with written work, knowledge building, discussions, and practicing handler mechanics (~60%). Working spot participants will have the opportunity to work with both instructors to practice these skills with their canines in a group setting and receive real-time feedback.

Both working spots and audit spot participants will walk away with guidance on how to implement the lessons learned through written coursework and practical exercises.

Working spots are full but audit spots are still available.

Problem Solving – October 18 & 19, 2023 in greater Arlington, WA area

This course lays the foundation for performing a root cause analysis of training problems and behaviors through guided classroom exercises, developing a training plan to address problems, and provides opportunities for field work with canines. The skills learned will also help participants develop training plans and approaches to avoid confusion and provide a clear answer for their canine partners to maximize learning and minimize problematic behavior.

PAY THAT DOG! – October 20 – 22, 2023 in the greater Arlington, WA area

This course explores reward systems for individual canines, approaches to determine what each canine prefers for its reward, improving handler mechanics, reducing cueing, and gaining clarity of communication for the canine.

Step out of your comfort zone and challenge your assumptions in learning theory through practical exercises in this blended classroom and hands-on course. The material learned during this course will help you become a better trainer and handler.
