Teaching Kids Dog Training
Allan Bauman
Working with families and their dogs can be a challenge. Take the family dog, mix in 2.2 children, stir in boundless energy and a pinch of short attention span and you will inherit the whirlwind that is the child/dog dynamic. How does a trainer tame and teach that tricky combination? Fear not! The teaching Kids Dog Training Workshop with Allan Bauman in just the thing to impart tips and tricks to help make teaching children to teach their family dog all fun and games -for the kids, the dog and you.
The workshop pairs eight children and dogs of varying ages and levels of training and with Allan directing the pairs using tried and true and, most importantly, fun techniques. The varying ages and experiences of the children will allow you to see how the exercises can be effective and applicable to all ages. The exercises are focused on the children doing the actual training of the dog by properly controlling the reward. Take this opportunity to view training exercises that are easy and fun for children and dogs alike.
If you conduct classes with many family members attending, you will appreciate the powerful ideas and tools and incorporate them into you own training classes. The exercises are from Allan's book and DVD Games and Rhymes-Dog Training for Children.
Teaching Kids Dog Training will be presented on Saturday, October 18 from 1:30-5:30 PM. The workshop is limited to 50 observers so register early. Transportation will be provided from the host hotel to the workshop site.
