Talk to the Paw – October 14, 2017 Dogs are excellent interpreters when it comes to the body language and signals of other dogs. But how good are people at it? Sure, you know that ears back and tail down means a dog is afraid, and that a show of teeth is your cue to move away slooowly. But what about the subtler and lesser-known signals? The lecture is filled with eye-opening information including the latest research studies, as well as an extensive collection of fascinating photos and video footage. By viewing real-time video and then slow-motion playback, you’ll improve your observational skills and discover subtle, quick signals that otherwise might have been missed—even if you’re a professional. You’ll also participate in interactive, fun exercises including “Name that Bark!” that will further hone your skills. This seminar packs a lot of useful information into one day. Whether you’re a trainer, shelter/rescue worker, owner, vet tech, or other professional or enthusiast, you’ll come away with plenty of new ideas, tips, tricks, and a whole new understanding of body language and communication—dogs and ours. Creative Client Coaching – October 15th, 2017 This fun-filled, interactive seminar will help you to become a better coach to your clients. You will learn techniques to communicate more clearly, increase motivation, gain compliance, and solve problems creatively. Both dogs and humans will become better trained, and coaching will become a smoother, more pleasant experience for you as well. You will get plenty of tips and techniques for working with clients (especially the difficult ones), learn how to handle challenging training situations, participate in the video game, “Catch the Trainer’s Mistakes!” and view plenty of creative games you can play in private sessions and group classes to make learning more fun for everyone. You will come away with lots of new tools for your toolbox and ideas you will want to try out with your clients. Nicole’s seminars are high-energy, interactive, and always entertaining.
