Day One:  Dog Training Necessities:

• Behavioral wellness
• Reinforcement strategies for clear communication
• 4 steps necessary prior to work
• Consent/ability to opt into work
• Planning for a solid work/training session
• Stationing/stand by cue

Day Two:  Implementation of Necessities into agility training

• Reinforcement strategy refresher
• 4 steps necessary prior to work
• Planning for the session
• Problem solving with working teams (working teams will provide Samantha with the background on a “problem” they are experiencing, and we will develop a plan for each team)

This seminar will be more of a lecture format than the typical handling seminars.  Following the lecture for each topic, working teams will be given time to practice what was covered in the lecture.

Note:  Since day two builds on day one, registration priority will be given to those registering for both days.
