Uncover the Hidden Power of Simplicity with Victoria Stilwell

Uncover the Hidden Power of Simplicity with Victoria Stilwell

Date: September 20

Time: 8:00am PST

Location: Riverside Convention Center

Dog trainers are amazing multi-taskers, expected to teach skills, solve problems, and manage client expectations with little time to work their magic and often with little support. As a result, trainers often find themselves under pressure from clients to deliver the goods in a short amount of time to meet the human need for ‘quick fix’ dog training solutions. The pressure to deliver can lead to training methods that focus on satisfying people over dogs, creating disconnection and potentially more serious issues down the road.

If you have ever experienced this in your dog training journey, you’re not alone! Meeting client expectations and delivering dog training wizardry can be overwhelming, but there are techniques and strategies that you can use to promote client ‘buy in’ and make your cases flow more easily and successfully without compromising dogs’ emotional or physical welfare.

During this presentation you will:

• Discover how to manage client expectations and simplify training strategies.
• Explore the importance of non-judgmental observation.
• Understand what it takes to become more effective and empathetic listeners.
• Broaden your understanding of dogs’ individual needs and teach clients how to meet and match those needs using the five branches of Positively’s Harmony Model.

Learn how to create practical teaching solutions to a variety of dog behavior issues using real world case studies. Grab your breakfast and join us for an intimate small group discussion with the renowned dog trainer, Victoria Stilwell!
