Steve, through this exciting workshop, will show us how to turn high performance training on its head to help you, the dog owner or trainer. Peak performance is not so much about the stuff a dog knows nearly as it is about the relationship between dog and human.
By analyzing video clips of work with attendees’ dogs you’ll see the value of systematically building fluency and generalization through six dimensions. You’ll also learn how to make enhanced training decisions by “thin-slicing” the information dogs and their handlers give you. You’ll see how to mingle science and technique to produce an artfully trained dog who is a joy to live with and at the same time smash myths and old wives’ tales.
