SUMMARY:Emma Parsons Seminars: Click to Calm for High Performance
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, March 1st & Sunday\, March 2nd: Click to Calm for High Performance\n9AM-4PM each day \nA full weekend seminar \nWhen competing\, and out in the great wide world\, the challenges are many: \n\nFighting for your dog’s attention when in highly arousing situations.\nTeaching your dog a variety of foundation behaviors that can be especially helpful in any situation.\nDealing with dog and people reactivity in novel environments.\nWorking on going from excited to calm in a matter of seconds.\n\nThe cleaner the training loops\, the faster our dog’s behavior will become reliable.  \nJoin us for this fun-filled\, two-day seminar with Emma Parsons\, author of “The New Click to Calm”. This seminar will focus on applying the Click to Calm methodology to deepen the connection between you and your dog\, and grow the reliability of their training skills. This workshop is geared toward dog sport competitors and pet dog owners aiming higher! This seminar is also great for professional dog trainers who work with challenging handler/dog teams. \nGrounded in learning theory\, we will explore such topics as how contextual cues and accidental behavior chains can inadvertently teach our dogs behaviors that we deem unnecessary or inappropriate. Learn the difference between a behavior loop and a behavior chain and how to intentionally build these up — or break them! Turn distractions into cues for better behavior and learn useful foundation behaviors to improve connection.  \nThis seminar includes video for your benefit! Emma will record the working sessions and send each participant videos of their own dog. (This is optional\, and you can decline if you prefer not to be filmed.)  \nCEU Details\nApproved for 18 KPA CEUs and 16 CCPDT CEUs (12 Skills\, 4 Lecture). \n  \n\nOnline Registration\nFull Weekend Packages\nworking spot both days ($400 + tax) SOLD OUT!\nauditing spot both days ($150 + tax — SAVE $50!) \nSingle Day Registration\n \nsingle-day auditing spot ($100 + tax)\nBecause the seminar exercises will build up as the weekend progresses\, single-day working spots are not available for this event.  \n***CEUs pending.
