Spectator positions are still available.
Agenda:
We will start our days at 9:00 a.m. and work until each dog and handler team has received two working sessions with Michael each day. Obedience only handlers will receive two obedience sessions. Obedience and Protection handlers will receive one obedience and one protection (Schutzhund, Mondioring, or French Ring) session. Handlers can choose to work on specific issues, or request an evaluatation of their current training routine and allow Michael to make recommendations based on his highy successful training program. Spectators are encouraged to observe and learn by following along with Michael while he works with each team. Michael often breaks between teams to answer questions, or elaborate on important training concepts. There will be no introductory lecture. For those attending their first Michael Elllis seminar, it is highly recommended that you watch the introductory videos available on his School for Dog Trainers website. Michael also has a two recently released DVDs, "The Power of Training Dogs with Food" and "The Power of Playing Tug with your Dog" that can be previewed and purchased at Leerburg Enterprises Inc. The more familiar you are with Michael's methods before you arrive, the more progress you and your dog will be able to make during the seminar.
