Episode notes
Delay Seminars Until After Graduation
- Avoid attending other seminars while in school to prevent conflicting methods and confusion.
- After graduating, attend many seminars to keep learning and expand your toolbox.
Training With The Touch
- 'Training with the touch' means minimizing corrections and showing the dog what is right first.
- Corrections must be timely, relevant, and understandable to avoid confusing or suppressing the dog.
Why The School Was Founded
- Tom hired a recent graduate who had never worked other people's dogs and she was bitten badly removing dogs from kennels.
- That incident convinced him to build a school teaching practical, hands-on dog handling skills.
