Seminars
We take a lot of pride in the depth of the education we give the public. We are constantly looking at upgrading and improving our seminars to provide more service to our communities. Below is a list of the seminars we offer (some are required to join our training!)
​
Please note all seminars must be signed up for on our app.
Current Seminars:
-
New Student Orientation - A requirement for all of our new students, this can be viewed online at your convenience, but it must be done before your first class. Not only does this seminar explain our facility, what we teach, why we teach it, and all of our offerings, it also covers Learning Theory, HOW we train (and how you'll be training), and has your initial homework!
-
Canine Communication - This is an in person seminar (streaming offerings will be available in the future) all about how our dogs speak to us, and it's primary purpose is to keep our dogs and families, especially those with children, safe. This is presented by the owner who is certified as a Dog Bite Prevention Educator and part of the Doggone Safe Program. This is a family-friendly seminar for children over the age of 8, and should be watched by any families that have children around their dogs.
-
New Adopters Canine Communication - A slightly different seminar than the above, this is designed for our clients who have a newly adopted dog and are joining our rescue dog program. This is our Canine Communication seminar with further information about why rescued and newly adopted dogs are different, what you should do with them right from the start, and how to make their transition easier for a better outcome.
-
Canine Nutrition - Certified in Canine and Feline Nutrition, this seminar talks simply about what dogs and cats need in their diets (macros and micros), along with how their bodies are different, and the three main types of diets. This also goes into detail about how to figure out caloric needs and reading those pesky labels! We don't push any diet, and are not sponsored by any food... this is just the science!
-
Why Does My Dog...? - Want to get nerdy? This is the neuropsychology about dogs, how they think, and what they feel, along with how we can adapt to their unique emotional needs. Want to know why your dog is leash barking or fence running? We go over canine neurology, the emotional process, cortisol levels and how they are affected, your dog's personalities, thresholds, and unique quirks. If you want the WHY behind your dog's behavior, this is a MUST VIEW!
