Training without choke chains?

Getting an enthusiastic retrieve without using pain?

Teaching the basics of a go-out in one afternoon?

There is no need to imagine anymore! All this and more is possible using the simple science of operant conditioning.

TTouch workshop

TTouch (Tellington touch) is a unique approach to training and healthcare. It was developed by Linda Tellington-Jones and uses a combination of specific touches and strokes which induce a state of relaxation and increase body awareness in the animal. This workshop will be conducted by Kathy Cascade - a graduate of the first two year TTouch Certification Course (1996). Kathy has worked with animals throughout the United States, Canada, and Europe. For more information on Kathy, visit her website at www.spiritdog.com.

The next workshops are pending.
