CHICAGO AREA DOG TRAINING SEMINARS

WE HAD A GREAT SEMINAR WITH TURID RUGAAS - Check out her site Here.
Canis Sapiens plans to use the knowledge gained from this gentle dog whisperer who doesn't talk about dominance all the time and trains dogs without head halters, prong collars, choke chains, or e-collars.

WE WILL HOST ANOTHER SEMINAR WITH CAROLYN SCOTT. Look for us under prize winners! - Link. Check out Carolyn Scott dancing with her dog Rookie - Link We'd love to hear your ideas about how to promote canine freestyle in Chicago.

WE ARE ALSO PLANNING A SEMINAR WITH SUE AILSBY - See her site Here.

Once a number of our school dogs have finished level 3 of Sue Ailsby’s 7 levels, we plan to have a working seminar. We hope to have 3 classes of demo dogs: dogs just starting the levels, dogs beginning level 4, and dogs at level 6 and 7. We plan to test Sue’s assertion that level 6 dogs are a month away from a title of their choice. The levels exercises are taught in puppy kindergarten 2 and modules ¾. Here is a quote from the levels website:

“When you've completed Level One, you are starting to see that you can communicate with your dog. A Level Three dog has most of the skills he'll need to make a great pet. More to the point, you'll have the skills you need to teach him any further skills specific to your own household. By Level Five, you and your dog are really communicating and already have most of your traveling and public skills as well as many of the behaviours which lead directly into specific skills required for specific sports. You've done a lot of work on attention, teamwork, and duration of behaviours. Level Six and Seven? Well, now you're getting into elite competition and public access dogs. I'm confident that a Level Six dog is a month away from ANY first-level competition title, because she has ALL the unwritten behaviours and many of the written ones down pat. That month is for teaching skills specific to the competition, but the important skills of concentration, teamwork, willingness and ability to learn, looking for results, and understanding that to get what she wants she must figure out what you want and give it to you. These skills are already firmly installed.”
