What The Books Don’t Tell You Seminar by Tim Springer

Have you ever read or heard the saying, "Read your dog"? This advice is most often given by experienced trainers and handlers, who have had the opportunity to train hundreds of dogs over many years. I believe most people do not know how to read a dog, and most of those experienced to do so cannot explain the process, they just are "natural" at doing so.

This seminar will largely focus on reading your dog. Certainly we will cover training topics such as force fetching, doing the “T”, and much more, but the focus will be on keeping the dog's mental state correct while you teach and how to be a good teacher and leader to your dog. In fact, we will work on keeping you and your dog's mental state correct ALL the time!

The information presented will make you a better dog person. Whether it is an 8-week-old pup or an 8-year-old veteran, my philosophy of interaction with the dog is the same. Dogs are experts at reading body language, and we need to be better at reading theirs. They do not lie to us; we simply are not listening to what they are saying. So if you are working on your first dog, or your 20th, the value in this seminar is the same because reading your dog comes into play at all levels of training. Over the three days you will begin to start seeing things you have missed in the past. You will think about your dog's and other people's dog's behavior in a different way. You will start noticing what these dogs are telling us. Whether it be watching someone teach basic obedience or running a complicated water blind, you will find value.
I look forward to learning with you,
Tim
